Morphemes clustered in unison
Dancing wistfully
To the melodious tune
Of ink dabbed on empty pages
Drawn from the deep well of art
Framed from freely forged phrases
Adorned in a symphonic clause
Of well taught sentences

Oh the simplicity of it
The art of writing!!
Emmanuel Davies May 2020
10am in the morning
The  clock 🕒 is ticking
When the sky cease it's mourning 👄
My heart ♥  skipped a minute


Then the harvest comes with a veil
Let the world bear witness with me
The soul is very willing
And when the Will arrives in a mail
To me will prosperity prevail.
In the last days
Are we ready?
It's a question for you and me
Emmanuel Davies Jul 2020
God created the world in seven days
Six actually, the day he created a spectacular being (you)
In five ways will God bless you
And the four Seasons never fail to favour you
The three recipe for living (knowledge, wisdom and understanding) will always be with you
With two lines left to tell you what I want to tell you
I tell you one thing

Thanks for appreciating my poetry and I
Thanks to all of you who appreciate what I can do

Sometimes we've got to trust
If we're to ever find the one
Trust not wholly on the heart
For it could turn out to be a bad act
But give in slowly to time
Then maybe it would find us
Cause love is not to rush
That would be a minus
Sometime what we seek
It's just right there
When we open the inner eyes
Then we know
It actually found us
Emmanuel Davies May 2020
To be or not to be
Till the fields shall yield
And the vast land fill
Let it be to me
According to his will

Time tells lately
Of a willows night
The menacing hoot
Of a flying 🦉 owl
The excruciating pain
Of a joyous 💓 heart
The undue laughter
Of a wailing mouth
Of happiness melancholy
In a home unfound
It comes in four notes
Emmanuel Davies Aug 2020
Time tells lately
Of a world gone bad
Mega bucks of destruction
Resulting in economy evasion
Unscaled and undeterred  
Nature draining and global warming
A coherent of capital dished round
Consumed largely by corrupt deities
Emmanuel Davies Aug 2020
Time tells lately
Of #friendship so cold
Hyenas in the hides
And quite disturbingly close
Upon your fat they feed and reside
Consuming mutely from the inside
Until you have been drained
Of your useful essence and soul
Emmanuel Davies Jul 2020
To and fro to and fro
Faster and faster
Until the world whirls by
Goes the boy on a swing
If he would only learn to take it slow
Maybe then his trousers
Would learn to fit
And the world
Would in his head cease to meet
Maybe we Africans should
Check ourselves and not blame it all
On racism
Don't hate me for saying this ok
Just felt we should know!

No one is to be trusted
Note!!
I didn't say
No one is worthy of your trust
Emmanuel Davies Sep 2020
The Gospel preaches no condemnation
But of indisputable love
Why fright?
Emmanuel Davies Aug 2020
Far from home
Our minds thus wander
To a land
Vast beyond the ocean
Where the whites lives yonder
With minds stone cold
We shun our homemade products
The fats of our toil
We reserve for aliens
Who in their world
Are not worthy
Of a strike of an applaud
Nor a job to be poor

Our children scavenge for crumbs
In the hands of strangers
In their home land.
Our leaders with alluring deceit
Conjure soothing malicious stories
To educate us on the benefits
Of this benevolent strangers

Our youths for ignorance
Scramble to be noticed
By this fair coated aliens
Who's helping outstretched claws
Would save us from the ignorance
Of our daring impulsiveness.

No-one will ease her of the heaviness
The heaviness of her yielding back
Nor till beneath her scorching smiles
But would rather
Dance to the sophisticated tune
Of the aliens piano
Neglecting the message
Of her talking drum.

**! mother Africa
How she weeps so
Beckoning on her children
To come back home
To the hospitable warmth
Of her essence.
Where we love
One another without fear
Nor look down
At our resourcefulness.
Emmanuel Davies Jul 2020
It's an alignment  of words
To express our thoughts
About a situation or a course
Giving our expression a form
To relate with the world
In lines and in rhymes.  

Don't know if i'm right
Am just expressing my thoughts!!

Every wrong
Has a potential of being right
That’s why it is wrong
Can I be more right?
