Postman Pat In His Monochrome Home
Maybe men labored under a yellow sky bent under barley sheaves they’d cut, returned behind limestone walls and leaned to splash water on each other at the well. You can see its crumbling curve today, in one city as old when Cheops' pyramid was built as pyramids are to us right now.   Jericho, not so far away from Egypt and, our archaeologists tell us, likely really didn’t hear the blare of Joshua’s trumpets shuddering down old Canaan-cursed by-Noah, coaxing walls to shudder, teeter, list from Israelite raids. You see one barley-bearer shaking dry, descend  stair-tunnels to his flat to kneel before his hungry daughter, hungry wife, waiting for evening’s barley bread to cool. He joins as they resume their business of the day to gently set the cowrie eyes in Grandma’s face, two priests removed the rest of her last year, but left the precious head to decompose at home scented in the wall with sweet Netufian herbs, And now the family gathers near small fire, desert nightbreeze filtering through the cracks tenderly to soften Mother’s bony head with daubs of plaster re-create her nose, and gaping eye sockets, softening too those black orbits with white plaster. Slowly her death’s head touched tenderly by younger finger tips becomes something like a human head again, If not quite living, cowrie shells complete this vision of a vacant queenly stare befits a family shrine. When things are done, small granddaughter now squeals with delight her own dark eyes reflect the fire-light.

SWEET SKULLS OF JERICHO
Maybe men labored under a yellow sky bent under barley sheaves they’d cut, returned behind limestone walls and leaned to splash water on each other at the well.

A pregnant lass with eyes of glass has never learned to cope. Once set adrift her fall was swift, she slid a slipp’ry slope - She casts the Curse, the Holy Verse, and shoots a shot of dope, And stalks discreet Asylum Street her daily horoscope - The stray was struck by random truck which was her only hope. Well, Banjo Boy, with little joy, he strums her life entire: “The wayward waif was never safe; her stars were dark and dire. Born midst the rues and avenues where lack and want aspire Where no one heeds the childish needs that little ones require; Where faith survives in tempest lives, a swirl within the briar, Infinity grinds as time unwinds, until the winds expire. Her last caprice? The final peace that no one could deny her - Whipped by the flood, stray beads of blood are spattered on the spire; Though beads of sweat are cool and wet, cold clotted blood is dryer.” Though broken there, she’s fled the snare with dying thoughts serene. And now she’s dead, the rumours spread:  “her age? a sweet 16, With child, ***** her soul dyed red, her body so unclean.” A place is sought where she can rot, avoiding churchyard scenes, In limey pits, as well befits, behind forbidding screens; And all the while a dirge is styled on tattered tambourines Which echo through the human zoo in valleys of the Queens. Without rejoice, in hissing voice, near soil that’s seldom trod “In pious role, God bless my soul”, was mouthed with mitred nod, Neath scarlet trim with black, and grim, behind a robed facade - “She’ll burn in hell and sulphur smell”, spat Priest and man of god. Well, angels sweet with cloven feet, they sing in girl’s attire, But Banjo Boy, he’s playing coy while chanting in the choir: “The clueless search within the church to find what they desire - Beyond the nave, a gravelled grave, the final Rectifier” And when he’s through, without ado, he stacks some stones nearby her.

It's true that they belong together Freedom is just another word for fetter To have it all and have no better That is life's eternal weather. It's true that meaning is lost in translation Because no one cares to hear your explanation As they hear the words that befits your station And you've learned to speak as befits your subordination It's true that there is nothing to thought Poring out without a clot Yet will never reach the point it ought Instead used and swayed as they are bought It's true that pain is just a stern friend While hope just leaves you in the end Pain's **** is the advice he'll lend Which you should heed or another he'll send It's true that there is fault in truth Like beauty blunted by its youth The horror of it was its proof While a fraction of it still lies aloof.

Paradox
Alexander K Opicho (Eldoret, Kenya;[email protected]) As its social phenomenality Grows with zeal and verve Humanity of love befits Beautifully Elaborate explanation To enable both young and the elderly To have clear and useful Knowledge and insight Of what is love; Shakespeare in the prime Of his bardness decried it A foul protégé of individual beholder Christ confused it for self-immolation In the succor of the universe Leo Tolstoy thought that It was minimal ownership of land Umberto Eco in his scriptorium Declared it man’s impaired judgment Kenyan cubidmaestroes deem it human foully To create a leeway to keep change of a Casanova Mahatma Gandhi called it caste blindness Mandela called it zero apartheid Both in Luther King sang the song Of nonviolent revolt But me I will boldly clash With the precedent civilizations To call love foolishness of a man And shrewdness of a woman As for both man and woman the very love In un-fangled in truth that it can’t pay bills.

poem of joy-bright
Time disappears silently like the cryptical fog at dawn! Reality twisted for a moment without feign; what seemed to wait for ages is now drawn closer! Flanked by an overwhelming urgency Glossier! To give and to share this flash of fragility Were tomorrow...befits a charming after-tale of yesterday; With summer blossoms kissed by the mild long awaited reign Of the dusky aureate nobleness of men and women, spellbinding-like a magnificent gold plated gemstone Sealing this moment of a sweet clandestine sparkle grinning in the lonesome orchid garden; Wooing Romeo and Juliet like the equinox sun........

Better days were in the past For the bar and all inside Windows broke and lights burned out The bar had long since died Carpets gone and floors all worn Scorch marks on the wall Smells of stale beer in the air the bar had it's last call Welcome to the Stagger Inn Good Food and Cold Beer Too Live bands every single night And it's air conditioned too Welcome to the Stagger Inn A bar befits it's name We'll take you the way you are And we're mighty glad you came The stage was now an eyesore As was most of what was here Way back in the corner Sat a woman with her beer Hair was streaked with boot black From a time, who knows when The bar was dead or dying As were most in this old den A few nights folks would still come here To see the towns old jewel What once was gold and glistened Now was just no longer cool The lady way back in the corner Hadn't danced since eighty three Ten times a night she'd go and Play the jukebox tune  5B A song about the devil calling him silver tongued was  her pick She'd hit the worn out buttons While giving her  chapped lips a lick Sitting in the back and nursing A beer as dead as the bar On a steady diet of Winstons That had made her voice as thick as  tar Welcome to the Stagger Inn Good Food and Cold Beer Too Live bands every single night And it's air conditioned too Welcome to the Stagger Inn A bar befits it's name We'll take you the way you are And we're mighty glad you came Maybe fifteen people came here When the other places were full You could see the worn out tiles Where there once was a mechanical bull Trends were never big here Though they tried a few to survive The bar was dead and dying Housing folks who now were barely alive The last band that they had here Was a cover group from down in NC They didn't last the evening Getting out done by  old 5B The woman in the corner With the boot black streak of wild closed her eyes and listened To the memories she had compiled If you ever choose to come here I don't think you'll stay long But, I know you'll hear a singer Talk of the devil in that 5B song The door is always open At the dead and dying Stagger Inn A place that still lives through the ages And the folks remembering what might have been Welcome to the Stagger Inn Good Food and Cold Beer Too Live bands every single night And it's air conditioned too Welcome to the Stagger Inn A bar befits it's name We'll take you the way you are And we're mighty glad you came

Verse 1: Why am I so disconnected? My soul is screaming out to me in a passionate furor. Sanguine and red hot flames are running down my spine; I’m blazing through misfortune with opulent eyes. I see death all around me but in my heart there is hope, Time has healed past welts now the Lord shall cleanse me once more. In time it has been revealed to me that the Lord has the sinew, to fight off the eternal of death and the Cimmerian. Eternity is all around me, your flames scorch me whole; I lie on the bed covered in anxious goo. Chorus: High on octane, I float above cloud nine, I have a heady feeling, and then I’m lifted into the Sun. God has granted me the will to move on, The Universe imparts to me an elixir to your soul. Verse 2: My spirit lies in front of me separated from my soul; I’m an incorporeal being who no longer has a definite form. You’re the one I long for and I know that you’re all I see, “I truly wish that you would take to time to actually notice me!” Why can’t you see that I would lock your heart away? I’d store it in a chest full of my sacred and cherished dreams. You’re my goldmine, the apple of my eye; You’re that mellifluous melody chanting in my ear. You’re a divine masterpiece and I love you with my eyes; I wish I could eternally gaze upon you and make your beauty my muse. Chorus: High on octane, I float above cloud nine, I have a heady feeling, and then I’m lifted into the Sun. God has given me the will to move on, The Universe imparts to me an elixir to your soul Bridge: Holy and pure is that pearl with your name inscribed, Your name inscribed upon it and it befits my enamoring crown. I want you to adorn me with your brilliant and glimmering gems; Please complement my apparel with an extravagant diadem. I love the eyes you possess, those diamonds that seem to gleam; I desire your magic spells to fuse me with your soul. I went insane for but a moment but to me it has been revealed, That sanity belongs to the one who cherishes His dream of love. Chorus: High on octane, I float above cloud nine, I have a heady feeling, and then I’m lifted into the Sun. God has given me the will to move on, The Universe imparts to me an elixir to your soul

Dreamer’s Chest (Lock Your Heart Away)(Song Lyrics)(April 6th, 2012)
Verse 1: Why am I so disconnected? My soul is screaming out to me in a passionate furor. Sanguine and red hot flames are running down my spine; I’m blazing through misfortune with opulent eyes.

If black is a curse and white the Cause; Then blank is the page of rationality in a God that’s white. If a pest fixed pies in the past; Then its taste lists lies in the cast. If the bulk lifts a tool and dies; Then luck befits a pool of dice. If a kith licks his kins like a broth; Then the mouse clicks and nibbles like a crook. If a thief runs away with the loots; Then our chief grunts with harps and lutes. Then our land wakes up with hopes and heals; If the lost takes all the dope on his heels; And if the thief never comes back to steal our wealth; Then the land ever in bliss rests from the West. amazon.com/author/odosimonagbo; for more of similar poetry.

If And Then
Face to face against a predator It isn't glory I fight for I fight in animosity and defiance Against the shackles wrought by a Creator I have neither belief nor any Faith in any Lord; I do not say Grace I am my own King and my own God And I run my own race Life is War Pick your battles wise I pick the biggest beast Because my rage befits its size I will sit on my throne and glare at life in the eye But I will never bow in weakness Though I might let out a sigh

Rage
She was like a broken mirror Anything beautiful, she would reflect A reflection abnormally distorted Her perspective could not connect She could not see the sparkle Of the sunset sprinkled on the waves She couldn't share the happiness of others Because her feelings weren't quite the same People's smiles were always crooked Compliments were always misheard Acts of kindness were disappointments Expressions of love were just words She was tired of being broken Constantly blinded to beauty She gave up holding her pieces together Loosening her grip more than slightly Her broken pieces then fell apart Into a pile of shattered looking glass She laid there with her hollow frame As she could finally rest at last Her self destruction symbolized Her innermost desire for rebirth Her lack of knowing what was beauty Did not take away her worth She realize her vision's distortion Only showcased her perception Her definition of beauty Was different beyond interpretation She arranged her shattered pieces In a way her beauty befits On the ground where she laid Was a beautiful mosaic

Through The Looking Glass
~ ☾☀️☽ ~ Your fate was woven in the silence of time. Embroidered with dread and pain. Made bearable with bonds of friendship and love. ~ ☾☀️☽ ~ Disrobed in the darkness, the sky freckled with the light of stars, shivering. Never will we forget the undying. ~ ☾☀️☽ ~ For fate is something twined in a misty veil. Ignore the flute that sighs a sweet melody. For you, Noctis, will be bound to your threnody. ~ ☾☀️☽ ~ Born with the Storm's Blessing, in all it's strength and might and glory, all that will be left for you is a ruin of crying waters, deathless flames, and flooding song of the Oracle's lyre. ~ ☾☀️☽ ~ Her hair of spun gold; a primose in white, and pearls around her slender wrists. In her hand, a sylleblossom, bent low in your final kiss. Your final promise. ~ ☾☀️☽ ~ She stands strong, her trident in hand, knowing that she is a phantom of transient life. She looks at you. In a field of flowered ice. Standing as days of harsh sun and rain pass by. ~ ☾☀️☽ ~ It haunts you. The memories of where you dare not tread. Yet. ~ ☾☀️☽ ~ Give yourself into the song of the sweet summer bird. Give yourself to the Oracle - the Morn's Star who fears no sun in her wake. For she was born to die in the light. As are you. ~ ☾☀️☽ ~ No need to be afraid, Noctis. Your corona is a crown that befits no other. For all shall witness it's splendour and glory as the Chosen King. The days are waning. ~ ☾☀️☽ ~ The nights are burning. Alive with daemons and weeping plagues. The Sun and Moon reap pain sown from so long ago. ~ ☾☀️☽ ~ It's alright. Because you will be beyond our world. Where you will no longer be weary. Where you will no long be pitied. Where you will finally be free. ~ ☾☀️☽ ~ Where Love is sweet and Sleep is kind. To you both. The Storm was always yours. It blessed you for good reason. ~ ☾☀️☽ ~ Where the moon is full and the sun is high, Where the mountains stand so strong in vain, Where the meadows chant and greet the light, Where the roses bloom and sylleblossoms cry dew, Where the wind carry joy and not whirls of sad. ~ ☾☀️☽ ~ There you are, The King of Kings, Noctis Lucis Caelum, and his consort, Lady Lunafreya, ~ ☾☀️☽ ~ I see you there. Swaying and drifting off to the sound of sweet chimes. Under the Sky of the Light's Night... ~ ☾☀️☽ ~

Why can't I have it? Why? Why can't I have that joy, When I can see her have it? Why can't I hold my smile firm The way she is able to dodge the grit? Why can't I have that resting queen face When all I can see is that she befits? The way she holds him close Like a cute little kitten A purr in her voice as they rub noses As he gazes at her looking smitten The peace in her eyes (called love) The grace in her smile (called acceptance) The contour upon her cheekbone (what is she made of?) His hypnotized gaze on her being, her very existence Why can't I have it too? Why?

Why Can't I?
When you know it's not you Then you’ve known another But is it friend or foe For you or against you Your saviour or jailer Your master or helper It may oppose but it's not enemy It rather flatters for pride leads to fall Perhaps it's neither for you nor your foes But for itself as it befits its own If asked it will say it is what it is And what another may say I don't know

Friend or Foe
*This sunrise is very beautiful With a hue of pink and a rareness which Befits the weariness of red eyes As slowly over the Catskills she Rises and resides Until she can be seen within the sky Pure as almond and ivory   Backed by the dawn and the day alike Who am I to stand here in her way? Who am I to say that she shouldn’t try? I can only trust and occasionally wish That she would honor me with a simple kiss Of morning dew, and a smile wide For that, in this, my morning eyes   Would bring great joy to me in my life*

Miss Sunrise
Of nature's pairing hearts that love renowned shall I compare the depths of those duets to virtues won, betrothed and then have bound this noble cause and gift, that none forgets. As doves through ether, we ascend delights no frost shall haze the wings on truest path tho' wind and rain befits the winter nights, near maple leaves we warm; as singles bath. The Swans devout will glide the lakes unknown we two abound, prevailed by mantras vows and when apart in bevy we have flown shall wait till night when lovers dance allows. As rare as diamonds forged for cupids' stone is love we found alike - the emblems own.

Like Loves Emblems (Sonnet)
Those pretty wrongs that liberty commits When I am sometime absent from thy heart, Thy beauty and thy years full well befits, For still temptation follows where thou art. Gentle thou art, and therefore to be won; Beauteous thou art, therefore to be assailed; And when a woman woos, what woman’s son Will sourly leave her till he have prevailed? Ay me, but yet thou mightst my seat forbear, And chide thy beauty and thy straying youth, Who lead thee in their riot even there Where thou art forced to break a twofold truth: Hers, by thy beauty tempting her to thee, Thine, by thy beauty being false to me.

Sonnet 041: Those Pretty Wrongs That Liberty Commits
After the rain, just as the sun came, after light years of planning and 9 months of travelling - after the rain, Herbie came and landed fully formed, fully loved, full of laughter, a master of light a gifter of aromatic delight - after that long night, Herbie came. He’d waited, biding his time, timing his arrival beautifully bang in the middle of the lunacy, the happy family being built at Conolly, (number six) fitting right in, applying his tight grip on the mum and dad who just don’t know when to quit. Yes, Herbie befits this Butcher-family-mix. After the rain this Ray of grace, this pilgrim, this loving warrior from heaven this beam of radiance came and entered a place Herbie-shaped in the heart of the Rob & Rachel space with a seasoned, full of flavour Herbie taste that will forever linger here in the embrace of family Butcher. Yes, after the rain, just as June flamed, Herbie came.

When Herbie came
I do not walk in measured tread, I cannot spare the time; And steady pace is better suited to the dead Or projects more sublime. I see them dressed in garb of green As best befits the land That harbours jihadist and others more obscene And not their native sand. They bear allegiance to no state That may have sheltered them, But spread instead their ugly message born of hate And anxious to condemn. It would be easy to cast blame On perpetrators of The outrage that most freshly has induced our shame And dissipates our love. But this would be to hide our guilt At similar events That other so-called freedom fighters have but built And empty rage foments. The question that we must address Is why these souls should choose Defection from their lives of love, and thus aggress? Why do they not refuse? What is there that holds them in thrall And draws them to a place That their forefathers chose to leave for freedom’s call? Is it a search for grace? Is it the hope of paradise Should they in jihad die? Seventy-two-virgins is perhaps the promise On which they then rely? They claim that Allah is their lord, that Islam is their life. They spurn the pen; relying solely on the sword. The Quran is a knife with which to cut the Gordian knot that engirdles their guide. The jihad route to paradise, the unbeliever’s lot. But we are mystified. What must we then on our side do       that hold freedom dearly? I just demand the freedom that I give to you Car moi, je suis Charlie.

A simple ray of sunlight spread by time Dodging through the white clouds; The simple crusade that a breeze Causes on the white clouds Make me smile. For a while I was hostile But the artless white clouds, As white as white can be, Make me smile. Drinking sensations and drawing vibrations, Swallowing them as a death star To the point it befits bizarre To the point it suits dark To live is to suffer To get rougher and tougher To live is to sin To discern I’ve been Witnessing for an exemption of redemption In this nontoxic home I can breathe for a while, I let sensations and vibrations roam, I write. I smile. In this nontoxic home I can see the artless white clouds, As white as white can be, I dream. I smile. Oh, this nontoxic home Make me smile, Make me live. While I write the dark folds And the smile unfolds Existence is not a decoy To live is moreover to enjoy
