Nefarious;

A man said,
"we have been tried and weighed,
yet we are found wanting"
with free will we were ordained
men of yore and of new age shall seeks;
to deify, to rule,  and to escape

A man also said,
"Each new morn, new widow howls,
new infants cry,  
new insults slap the face of heaven"
but punishment comes not,
no, all the heavens does is but watch

I say,
"Through trials and test of darkness,
we shall revolve"
but the will need break free
a step to triumph and liberation;
'know friends and enemies apart'

Want and needs,  desires and greed;
clouds human's soul
and so we choose what to believe,
never questioning the slimmest chance of untrue
and so we live,
like a horse tied to rein,  led by the noose

Creation;

Nay!, the gods are not to be blamed,
for they maketh a fool out of man
tempting none but him to 'eat';
a glistening fruit,  and he did
they said;  eat not!, for the void is shallow

and then they said;  go live!
immortality stripped,
from dust we arise,  unto dust shall we return
Man sinneth, who then is to blame?
ye shall age, and death shall find your souls

She sauntered through the garden;
serving as a bridge to his desires
from his ribs,  she was molded
No,  not we!
and we told the angels to procure!

Bow!, to my creation
they all did,  No; objected one!
and he was stripped of his honour and rank
minions of darkness crown him lord;
of course,  he shall be questioned!

Exempt me till the 'day'; he asked!
and we shall,
for we know; you shall lead 'them' astray
but what good is a world with no evil?;
and so, darkness came to be

only if it liveth in thy heart;
shall you be led astray,  worry not
how bad is a world dominated by darkness?
and 'good' shall be in their heart;
those who forget not,  our warning!

The wheel rolls;
gate of heaven closes and open
for the end of one man is the beginning of another
life beget death;
death beget life

what joy is there in life?
what sorrow is there in death?
for no man is eternal;
without been kissed by the cold hand of death
what then is there in this temporal cottage

what then is there to bewail?
this transient and ever fleeting existence;
how then is a man to derive joy in life?
when life itself holds no solitude
but then,  why should fear grip the heart at the thought of death?

Chaos ensue when death visit,
cries of felicity fills the hear when life is begotten
but is this not an endless circle of creation?
life hasten destruction; death!
through death, new life begins

is there an end to this caged entanglement?
living amidst joy and anguish,
pain in life and relieve in death
what then is there to live for?
when it all ends as soon as death arrives

Title: Caeser at Lucifer's Mission
Theme: The Aesthetic of Poets
A duet by : Prince Jayeola ( Golden Son)
                   :  Fuad Opeyemi (Gemini)

Solid heart like the mountain Everest
Circumflex to the Raven, Bring up the agon
in our midst, Like a dove,  we still remain
Challenge come about us
Still,  we overcome the hurdles like hills
               🙇Golden son 🙇

Kvell Cadres of scrivener,  
Harness styluses to tattoo on thin sheets
Poets,  goblet of endowment,
Pivoting throe to gladdened symphony
Soothing the ear of grief dwellers
                 🙇Gemini🙇

Clear out barrel of hate,  
Come apart,  enmity show less on our ballad
We do not bow down to race
Rather,  we propel with grace,
With the sound of humour our poem emit
                🙇Golden son 🙇

The pen,  like a magicians's wand
Exploited by calibers of Versified bards
With a tip so sharp,  running in ink
Cynosure of Prying eyes,  like a drop -
Of dew on spinach, poet are Aesthetic
                🙇Gemini🙇  

We are "they are who? ",  certainly!
Armed to the teeth with our pens
Thinking of ill- hearted hearts to heal
As we dance to the dead beat of our bleeding pen
No,  tell the man in the street to flow off our den
                🙇Golden son 🙇

Rhymester's way is Slim and Narrow,
Like a thoroughfare to Gehenna
For we dine with words, A minstrel
muser are hero,  resident of valhalla,
For we are the fighter,  that fight with pen
                🙇Gemini🙇

We stand in the racket of ranks
And fight to mind our p's and q's,
Hardly do we hit below the belt
To avoid disruption of poets that que
We stand tall and play the game
                  🙇Golden son 🙇

Poets are Aesthetic,  alluring
That travaux over the lava-like ways of poesy
We are all a product of our genre
Yet,  living in the facade of exultation
Delusional,  caeser at Lucifer's Mission
                   🙇Gemini🙇

The Eerie Tavern

A cracked Porcelain,
Prone to be treated with delicacy
Though bound to rive facilely, but,
Can it hang on to its bite like a wild dog
Or give up,  like a broken legged Mantis

Green eyed partridge ,
Dances to the pitched Vocable of its nest
Cradled against its own Soft feather
Does it wait for an ill fated worm to crawl up
Or hunt the unyielding insect

The Eerie Tavern,
That makes hair stand at the back of neck
With its cold breeze smooching the iced glass
Will danger lurk in the darkest shadow of the inn
Or warmth,  Tranquil spread across its hinges

The limp and the blind,
Set out on a rickety and scarred thoroughfare
Had the blind has an eye on his glabella
And the limp has a leg that doesn't falter
Impairment might not cause a truce

Tortoise and the Porcupine,
One with shell as hard as Brick
The other with pine as detriment as poison
Had it been they both lack their cover shield
They'd have been stuffed in a coffin

And Confident Ease

A free verse poem
--------------------------------------

pen sways on back and forth
Soul wish to write in royal court

Ink glow in golden hue
The paper don't care if it is  blue

Poetry is not a game of slicing apple
It can be sonnet,  Limerick,  or Haiku

It is more than just rhyming
Not an amusement like miming

Pen it on,  for poetry is the world
Expressing what is more than word

With Rested Gaze...

A Limerick poem (aabba,  9-9-7-7-9)
-----------------------------------------------

Peter stones ***** up his poking ear
To the pitter-patter he could hear
From the faded local beat
To the sandwich he can eat
Boss peter has got nothing to fear

Cat-son and mouse-well were once a friend
In the clubhouse,  they'd drink to no end
Till the cat grew cruel and cold
And mouse stay in his household
Thenceforth,  the crazy hunt never end
