For I shall find refuge
in the clysmic currents
of redemption.  
...                      ...
Run wild over me
Johnson Oyeniran Jun 2020
-Prayer

Father, i have become addicted to a certain kind of pleasure,

And no matter how hard i try, i keep on committing this error.


I am so hopelessly dependant on what is destroying my flesh,

I regret ever trying it, this sin has caused me nothing but stress.


I humbly ask that you purify me of my immorality,

Otherwise, this big sin i keep practising will be the death of me.

If green is envy
My skin, become leaves and grass
Flowers bloom from my eyes
Some of these poems have no titles. Also as per usual, the images have no reference to the poems, any relation is creation of your own design. They're old poems I found from high school - college. They're mostly terrible but I don't like keeping the old papers.

Be,
As a love
Whom together,
Discovers
The art of sin

Ask,
Not of the wrongs
Nor rights
But,
If the sweet cherry
Seeps or flows

Approach,
A figure, yet
Merely a reflection
In fruits,
Not leaves

Gaze,
Vanilla cream
Opposing,
One robust
In darkness
And desire

Fuse,
The sensation
Of honey dancing
Upon buds,
Of taste

Addiction,
The willingness
To enable,
The expedition
And art of sin

I long for the present,
To embrace it with confidence,
But my mind is its own wanderer.

Once fixated on the stormy sea,
Its tango as it dances the night,
But then it’s gone,
Suffocated by my thoughts.

Crumpled away and never to be seen,
Confusion as it’s buried under the bed.
A mind that is too active,
A mind that dreams too much?
Give me the answer I long for.

Oh please o’ gospel,
Oh please o’ soul,
Bring me back into the heavens of this world,
I know I need to trust you,
I know I need to follow you,

But I need to find light again.
That glimmer,
That sparkle,
That I crave to cherish as my own.
I know you’re drowsy,
O’ soul,
But you need to trust in the process,
To gain that elusive gemstone,

Called ‘home’.

Decaying parts
Live zombies
Ungodly bodies made holy again
Are you still alive?

Though I know you to be ashes stashed in the broom closet,
how is it your skin still walks this Earth?
Unattached to me, but grasping onto a stranger.
If they wish to pull the heart from their chest, will you die again?

This imposter wears your skin as a sweater.
If he sins will you too, be a born again sinner?

I’ve fallen from the tree,
not far from it.

A product of my environment,
a sinner.

masters of deception
taste your corruption
you take something perfect
and fill it with hate
tell me I’m wrong
that I don’t belong
that’s what you’re good at
twisting facts
to divide and conquer
fill them with fear
I’m not playing my part
I’m not white by design
I’m white by luck
and so I’m stuck
in a war over skin
where to begin
with stupidity
that stupid grin
can’t hide sin
I smell it on you
you stink
of fear and lies
they all rise
like a single hive
they all white
not with purity
but forcefully
trying to scrub
the world clean
till all that’s left
is what reflects
vanity
with a pinch of insanity
