The window to the soul,
that pierces the hearts and minds,
A journey to mans essence of existence.


**Ovi Odiete
Eyes
Stigma says money equals wealth
Claiming cash will purchase happiness.

Society states prestige dominates culture,
Valuing praise for its force of power.

Potential is not measured by owning coins,
Or through honoring a high reputation.

Succeeding is earning dignity by self-respect,
Wrestling to gain character through integrity.
"I love the calm of the sea.
it calms me.
The pitter- patter rain drops against
my window pane, gives me  sleep.
Crashing waves against the seascape walls
sets my body in awe.
A baby cry in the middle of the night, makes
me feel alive.
Thunder and it's lighting brightening the
late evening sky's, enriches my hearing and
my sight.
This is Mother's Earth's Entertainment, and
she gives it to you day and night."
Nothing to do in a cloudburst
with the exception of watching new rivers control the avenues
Whirlpools choking storm drains ,
town squares becoming bayous
Colorful umbrellas in every direction
Townspeople quicken their pace , seeking protection
Big trucks sending puddles airborne ,
fastidious Pigeons bathing in the Summer
storm
Would give a blue nickel to join in
on the fun , a needed break from the August Sun* ...

My Imaginary Lover and I array the night sky with passion entwined into one
By the Seaside, we fled and flew into the air
And by the Moon's Hands,
We strolled through cosmic Air


My Imaginary Lover and I array the night sky,
In a moment to behold,
With a penchant deeper than the Cloud's depth,
We flew and sailed towards the moon,
And by the Moon's edge,
There we stood,
In a flow of glow abundance
As the moon held us in time's hands
As the Moon lit up our Glory,
There we stood,
As time stood still,
By the Moon's Edge

My Lover and I array the night sky in a moment of glory,
By the Moon's Edge
