"fruitfulness" poems
America, from a grain of maize you grew to crown with spacious lands the ocean foam. A grain of maize was your geography. From the grain a green lance rose, was covered with gold, to grace the heights of Peru with its yellow tassels. But, poet, let history rest in its shroud; praise with your lyre the grain in its granaries: sing to the simple maize in the kitchen. First, a fine beard fluttered in the field above the tender teeth of the young ear. Then the husks parted and fruitfulness burst its veils of pale papyrus that grains of laughter might fall upon the earth. To the stone, in your journey, you returned. Not to the terrible stone, the ****** triangle of Mexican death, but to the grinding stone, sacred stone of your kitchens. There, milk and matter, strength-giving, nutritious cornmeal pulp, you were worked and patted by the wondrous hands of dark-skinned women. Wherever you fall, maize, whether into the splendid *** of partridge, or among country beans, you light up the meal and lend it your virginal flavor. Oh, to bite into the steaming ear beside the sea of distant song and deepest waltz. To boil you as your aroma spreads through blue sierras. But is there no end to your treasure? In chalky, barren lands bordered by the sea, along the rocky Chilean coast, at times only your radiance reaches the empty table of the miner. Your light, your cornmeal, your hope pervades America's solitudes, and to hunger your lances are enemy legions. Within your husks, like gentle kernels, our sober provincial children's hearts were nurtured, until life began to shuck us from the ear.

The key to finishing is beginning. The key to victory is uniquely found on the battle field forged through a warriors' cry of triumph. The key to any type of revelation; is activation. The key to liberty is wrought with the hammer of responsibility. The key to paradise is hidden; it can take a lifetime of searching and/or a single simple decision. The key to understanding; is found in the application of knowledge through wisdom. The key to any type of belief is often based on the intangible; a step of faith. The key to fruitfulness is in planting good seed. The key to overcoming; is found in the hands of the heart injected with the fuel of persistence. The key to life; is recognizing the breath of the living. The key to love; is G-d. The key to any beginning is only made visible at the ending. © Qwey.ku

TWELVE KEYS
Marriage is an incomprehensible mystery, a hidden truth kept secret from the foundation of the world. It cannot be discovered by intelligence or insight, but made explainatory by revelation. Revelation reveals the mystery of marriage, it explains the mutual relationship in marriage. It shows the rhema, light and love in marriage. The mystery of marriage is accessed through the throne of grace. Wisdom, knowledge and understandingof marriage is made known by revelation. The ability to see beyond the seen, in oder to see many unseen realities of life. Revelation unveils the principles of building a blissful marriage. Marriage is honourable in all, above all in a bed undefiled. It's hidden truth is unveiled by revelation from divinity. It constitutes a platfrom for fruitfulness in life and ministry. It spreads the continuity of human generation. Marriage as a divine institution, solves the problem of aloneness. It empowers man with resources to fulfil destiny on earth. It is a hidden treasure not discovered without revelation. Let revelation inspire the discovery of marriage treasures. Marriage not only give pleasures, but help partners fulfil destinies. Understanding kills separation and builds togetherness. It develops unity and oneness among couples. Understanding curbs separation in marriage, and solves marriage mystery. The manifestation in marriage cannot be explained, except by revelation. Marriage is a mantle not a struggle. The man must provide for his wife, the woman must submit to her husband. Seek love not lust before marriage, let character and charisma build marriage, let love and care establish marriage. Marriage remains a mystery till death.

To make wine, Grapes are crushed then poured into fermentation tanks. Once fermentation begins, the grape skins are pushed to the surface by carbon dioxide gases released in the fermentation process. I am the only fruit who has the necessary acids to make natural, stable wine. My tannins add a bitterness and astringency, But I must be picked at the right time. My acidity and sweetness must be zen in balance. The right ones are sorted through, but not all of us make the cut. Unable to be served as sweet wine, too bitter. Some more sweet, not bitter enough. Simply picked at the wrong time, their peak unwanted, forgotten. After being sorted we are destemmed and crushed. Our roots ripped from us, dignity stomped upon. For years, it was done manually, by foot. Now, preformed mechanically, systematically. But hey! "Mechanical pressing has brought tremendous sanitary gains as well as increased the longevity and quality of wine." Grape abuse continues, white wine grapes are quickly crushed. Why do you ask? To keep unwanted "color" from leeching into the wine. But red wine, Red wine is left in contact with it's skin, forced to acquire more color, more flavor and additional tannins. After being sorted and crushed, I naturally ferment with in six to twelve hours. This continues until all my sugar, Is converted to alcohol. To produce dry, wine. The final stage is aging. I am bottled with a cork, Put on a shelf. And ironically, await my optimal fruitfulness.

FERMENTATION MANIPULATION
(From a Persian Carpet) Ash and strewments, the first moth-wings, pale Ardour of brief evenings, on the fecund wind; Or all a wing, less than wind, Breath of low herbs upfloats, petal or wing, Haunting the musk precincts of burial. For the season of newer riches moves triumphing, Of the evanescence of deaths. These potpourris Earth-tinctured, jet insect-bead, cinder of bloom— How weigh while a great summer knows increase, Ceaselessly risen, what there entombs?— Of candour fallen from the slight stems of Mays, Corrupt of the rim a blue shades, pensively: So a fatigue of wishes will young eyes. And brightened, unpurged eyes of revery, now Not to glance to fabulous groves again! For now deep presence is, and binds its close, And closes down the wreathed alleys escape of sighs. And now rich time is weaving, hidden tree, The fable of orient threads from bough to bough. Old rinded wood, whose lissomeness within Has reached from nothing to its covering These many corymbs’ flourish!—And the green Shells which wait amber, breathing, wrought Towards the still trance of summer’s centering, Motives by ravished humble fingers set, Each in a noon of its own infinite. And here is leant the branch and its repose of the deep leaf to the pilgrim plume. Repose, Inflections brilliant and mute of the voyager, light! And here the nests, and freshet throats resume Notes over and over found, names For the silvery ascensions of joy. Nothing is here But moss and its bells now of the root’s night; But the beetle’s bower, and arc from grass to grass For the flight in gauze. Now its fresh lair, Grass-deep, nestles the cool eft to stir Vague newborn limbs, and the bud’s dark winding has Access of day. Now on the subtle noon Time’s image, at pause with being, labours free Of all its charge, for each in coverts laid, Of clement kind; and everlastingly, In some elision of bright moments is known, Changed wide as Eden, the branch whose silence sways Dazzle of the murmurous leaves to continual tone; Its separations, sighing to own again Being of the ignorant wish; and sways to sight, Waked from it nighted, the marvelous foundlings of light; Risen and weaving from the ceaseless root A divine ease whispers toward fruitfulness, While all a summer’s conscience tempts the fruit.

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run; To bend with apples the mossed cottage-trees, And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells With a sweet kernel; to set budding more, And still more, later flowers for the bees, Until they think warm days will never cease, For Summer has o'er-brimmed their clammy cell. Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store? Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find Thee sitting careless on a granary floor, Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind; Or on a half-reaped furrow sound asleep, Drowsed with the fume of poppies, while thy hook Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers; And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep Steady thy laden head across a brook; Or by a cider-press, with patient look, Thou watchest the last oozings, hours by hours. Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they? Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,--- While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day, And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue; Then in a wailful choir, the small gnats mourn Among the river sallows, borne aloft Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies; And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn; Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft The redbreast whistles from a garden-croft, And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

I am Her. The embodiment of royalty A physical manifestation of Her soul A spiritual movement to Her drum. I am the Epitome of Zion.

We Are African.
You've ripped open the lid of protection You've torn down the walls of self-preservation I'm stripped bare before You - no covering of self remains Just when I though I had my kingdom secure Just when I though I had perfected the act of surety I have girded myself upon pillars of another man's vision I lay in the vineyards of an angry man's dreams My vineyard I have forsaken behind walls of disillusionment Being yoked up with a man's burdens of works I look at the walls surrounding my hopes Vines of youth now overgrown and wild; forsaken and empty You came with Your sickle and cut into branches of coldness and fear You tear apart the thicket of my soul to find hope of fruitfulness You break down the walls of separation and call me out "Come here!  Come here!  Breathe again the long lost breaths of refreshing!" How do I depart from the expectations of those I am yoked to? How do I escape the despising of those who have created my place in this world? How do I go?  Where is the trail of those who have walked this way before? I see You through tears of fear and shame I see You through tears of desire and desperation Your eyes pierce through the deception I found comfort in Your arms reach past this world I found security in Your voice strikes into the center of a child's heart long gone in a world I don't belong I want only You!  I need only You! I'm ready to rebuild the old places I'm ready for the pain of purging Come, Lord Jesus!  Come!

The Vineyard
The shortest distance between pain and peace, *[between what is & the fruitfulness of the morrow]* is a rugged shortcut; an unattractive narrow path gated small, signposted; travail  &  obedience. A steep elevation, hewn of solid rock; an ancient Roman road, weathered, yet ** traveled few.** Pay mind to where you tread. Be walked conditioned fit. & Foremost, relinquish all your baggage. © Qwey.ku

It's the Spring. Earth has conceived, and her ***** Teeming with summer, is glad. Vistas of change and adventure, Thro' the green land The grey roads go beckoning and winding, Peopled with wains, and melodious With harness-bells jangling: Jangling and twangling rough rhythms To the slow march of the stately, great horses Whistled and shouted along. White fleets of cloud, Argosies heavy with fruitfulness, Sail the blue peacefully. Green flame the hedgerows. Blackbirds are bugling, and white in wet winds Sway the tall poplars. Pageants of colour and fragrance, Pass the sweet meadows, and viewless Walks the mild spirit of May, Visibly blessing the world. O, the brilliance of blossoming orchards! O, the savour and thrill of the woods, When their leafage is stirred By the flight of the Angel of Rain! Loud lows the steer; in the fallows Rooks are alert; and the brooks Gurgle and ****** and trill. Thro' the gloamings, Under the rare, shy stars, Boy and girl wander, Dreaming in darkness and dew. It's the Spring. A sprightliness feeble and squalid Wakes in the ward, and I sicken, Impotent, winter at heart.

I am clinging tight on this superficial feeling. I caught a butterfly and I am keeping it for safekeeping. It doesn't guarantee an eternal life, of bliss, of fruitfulness. It doesn't even guarantee a year of existence. But it gives me hope, of joy, to welcome the day, It gave me a reason for today.

I caught a butterfly
Dreams of enchantment swirls in my head! Majestically fluttering at all points of my mortal being. Images so serene I daze in amazement. Power frozen iceberg cold, weak with no movement. I'm being pulled in. Yet no physical motion, how could this be? Eyes locked to yours paralyzed in ecstasy. Thoughts of intimacy fill me! Your my jungle juice, sunshine in the rain. Bestow a multicolor silk laced bow. Metal to a magnet, I'm charged with passion. Scenes at work with the aroma of your fruitfulness. The aromatic taste of cinnamon apple, cherry red!

Fruitful Girl
And the sun glints through the plum trees. My heart is pierced in a moment of anticipation and silence. A sudden reflection of beauty, longing, and pain blurred my eyes. A quick revisit to an old memory of paradise. Where I’ve been an enduring captive of a sorrowful rewind. But I remained a seeker. A seeker of the promises of perseverance. While I adore winter as I see snow trinkets around. I love and cherish the herald of spring. And as the pale pink plum blossoms bravely bloom amidst the winter chill, I will continue to seek for fruitfulness. Though I’m still a slave of bitterness and grief, I will try to celebrate my strength. With plum blossoms as a reminder of a not-so-distant spring. A time for hope, a moment of joy, and a season of new beginning. Blooming beautifully after overcoming difficulties.

Brave Blooms
He never asked me for anything. His humbleness and fruitfulness grew on me Without knowing that his hand could carve words into ellipticals and parabolas. His cooking skills were awful, but he can make a Ramen soup That'll make your knees melt like overcooked chicken broth. He was 24 when he first came to this country, his English broken like the glass protecting his eyes, He left African battlefields and deserts To generate cereal boxes and lithium batteries. His pockets stuffed w/ month-long receipts, because he always wanted to keep track of where he spent his hard-earned money. Nobody gave him a cup to **** in, much less a *** But he always felt optimism grow in his foreign lungs, swinging his voice like a hammer to build maturity, to stand like golden shrines. He’d pray every night to speak to his lord, to ask God to help shape him into something a bit more, like his shoulders were too weak to bear the struggles of his cries. He works harder than ghosts to keep his heart in this world. The Beach Boys were his favorite band when he first came here, and he always babbled about Brian Wilson because he wrote poems. He searches for lost poems that he's buried inside the mother of his children He visualizes the pages of these poems, writing themselves on the faces of his children. He tries not to see too long, too hard, because then he may see too much of himself inside his oldest son.

57 (Tribute to Papa)
*Another dawn begins, Golden fingers of sun seem like Scribbling the lost map of El Dorado on your unconscious cheek. Oh how I like to watch Every little movement of dream Behind the sleepiness of your eyelids, Fading away bit by bit. Then a deep breath, Adorable fluttering of eyelashes Reveals your awakened irises. And I feel being welcomed again Inside that sacred cave, Where I found the desired key Of fruitfulness last night.*

To Begin With
In sleep I dream, illusions of being awake From the first moment to the last, of their plot. Of it being perfect to it becoming perfection; Eden in its own serenity- chaos, Eden in its own confusion- bliss. Anger clouded by love, Passion pervaded with bitterness; The fruitfulness of creation, their desire to destroy. Pandemonium throughout millenniums, The reckoning of reason throughout the centuries. Sifting through thoughts, riding the zephyr of forgotten memories. The taste of oceanic air, induces thee The scent of roses upon thy skin reduces me! The autylosis of flesh in the wilderness, An arbituar, a crematorium- my garden. Eden all decaying; seen, smelt and felt Yet I still recall Remembering fields of Asphodels And a dream of a flower that too long ago was our ancient emblem, Somewhere inside I am touched by this flower And my relentless dream to feel again, what was Before the death of Heaven. Heaven before the conflagration; Heaven before the stench, A Heaven of basking in fields. Yet I am null and void of what is, Null and void of emotion and what was As that Heaven still subsides in me. Elysium, the beautiful abode of the after world Elysium with fields of sepulchre, A Heaven of sceptre carrying angels A recollection of a deadly nightmare A recollection of a Heaven with Asphodel's; The Heaven that once existed A Heaven of which I do dream; The Heaven of which I originally inhabited, The Elysium in which Heaven and Hell co-existed Harmoniously.

I have settled and grown up Here as a child where the Garden is full of flowers and fruit And the river is a rainbow. The smell of peat fires in the morning And warm crusted bread wafts Slowly down the lane. Wooden crates full to the top With apples, pears And strawberries Are left outside the front porch Ready to be brought Into the cottage Where the juices fall Into an outstanding Fruitfulness. Roses hang still over the river and blossom Into wine Where also in the garden of light Bullfinches, sparrows, Chaffinches sing And daisies and buttercups lie In a sweltering sun Of perfumed heat. Over and over the green hills I look down into the deep valleys Where lakes are flavoured with Pineapples and waterfalls With damsons. The garden of apricot jams, willows And lily ponds open and spread Their tasteful colour in an Orchard of beaming texture and an Opening of real wonder. In our thatched white cottage Smoked hams saturated in salt and fat Sit above the crackling log fire And the rooms are filled with gloominess. A particular charm drifts through The place from the Warm glowing fire. - Oh how the light passes through the Whole house and how each window Is a copy of glittering diamonds That spreads Across the musical garden of bells And down onto the cobbled path Where the geese Flap their feathered gowns and fly off Into the blue mountains Where their Feathers fall into the sun. Cider is drunk by the gallon From cider presses And the fragrant Ingredients are a special delight Not to mention what it does To the mind afterwards As we drown happily Upon the grass Reading poetry Or kissing our lovers soft lips Under the shade of the trees There the dove calls from the tree tops Where our earthly hearts are scattered And nearby a rose closely shimmers In an azured wood. ©Jack Aylward

Spring is beautiful. Full hills, green. Round; soft as breast. And then, the leaves, breakout on the trees. The petals drop, carpet the Earth, pink and white. Behind the fruitfulness, are men, who experiment with seeds. Men of chemistry, men of disease. Men at the borders, men who quarantine. These are "great men". Driving the Earth to produce! My God! There is a crime here, there is a sorrow here, that weeping cannot symbolize! There is a failure here, that topples our success! The fertile Earth, dying. In the eyes of the people, failure.

Royalty and princely. Rivalry and love. Humility and humbleness. Fruitfulness and productivity. Beautiful beginnings and achievements. Countless glory, rise and fall. Fear and bravery. Apprehension and failure. That's the story of my greatness. All manifest itself in my life. Today i stand in that place where yesterday when i contemplate the dark periods, my eyes could scarcely see. Humbled by long suffering, with my back bent. I summoned the inner strength to conquer the insurmountable harrowing and painful experiences which my mouth could never express, or even explain, that infested my life. It was not all that rosy. But today, I'm still here, I'm still right here standing. ©2019,Emeka Mokeme. All Rights Reserved.

I'M STILL HERE
My life's presupposition is volatile meaning. Unfathomable disposition dispersed amongst the heavens. Until one blightful day, I become; the bounds of my existence tethered to soil and flesh, understanding nothing but suffering. Blood and bones interwoven into another unfathomable hypothesis; potentiality and its unknown repercussions.  Adhering only to the reality of mortality and the confines to which that is inherent. Its like dropping an anchor in the ocean of being, with the assumption that every ripple made will contribute to the tide, with or without the ability to float. But I sink either way, for that is our duty. To move under the bounds of gravity and the tides of reality until we reach the bottom of our fruitfulness. And then we return to the volatile meaning from which we came, that ripples outward as our contribution to the future.

Ramblings
Knowledge is now very simple Single word questions And answers in a breath. Knowledge is now aplenty Evenly cut pieces of bread Within easy reach of the laziest Then why do you Lift your eyebrows When forty line answers are spit out For question that won’t hold in four lines. The Thaj Mahal is not a wonder, its snobbery The vain argument goes on. From the other lone This lone doesn’t look greener but only a funeral patch You are argue with yourself And throwing a set of fruitfulness question: Why the evening’s rosiness nestles in the snake bird’s eyes? Where does the garden lizard leave its memory for a while? When did the owl start cleaning the day’s dirt to end the night? Who feeds the pair of rabbits on the moon without fail? In what soft tones does the ant whisper secrets to its mate? In which impoverished month did the white ants burp and wipe their lips Who wrenched the cricket’s courage that they make such noise? Why can’t the **** wake up the neighborhood without loosing its sleep? Why can’ t the peacock break its contract with the rain clouds? From where did the fox gain its cunning? Which river entered the forest, fighting the sea? Why war, floods, poverty, quakes? In word : God’s fury. Look how simple knowledge is, Beautiful in its commonness. Still you argue You swear What met isn’t knowledge Nor the way to knowledge Then of what Does it symbolise? Tell me in a word. ======

On the Simplification of Knowledge
People say …. beauty will always find its way like a plant …. cracking out of concrete land As if concrete with all its shades of black is nothing but ugliness holding beauty back. **Well **** you all!!** Do you know how dark sun’s core is? Dense, and burning, hell on fire. This is not poetry, these are facts.. The ultimate beauty symbol, the moon, is nothing but rocks and dirt. The only organic way to nurture an infertile land into fruitfulness is through **** So next time you are blessed enough to be in a dim hollow place Remember the astronauts that died for a chance to explore outer space

Darkness
*Into the whispering dreams Of your faithful eyes I walked for days of mist Looking for the hope That speaks to eternal images. Sweet smell ran neck to neck Inside the starry depth Of your overwhelming mouth And I bathed with your light Kissing our smiles over darkness. There I am a hidden path Under quiet wind Awaiting for snowflakes Which drop from the wooden basket Of your bicycle-myth. Little by little Paint me green with Those frosty memories of incarnation, To mould me in a tree That only gives birth to The sweet fruitfulness of us.*

Synthesis
*exiled here, in this emptying parcel of Lot's, son of incestuous famine your delight in God, your king, fades away in the lifting dust; leaving you with sick longing for the fruitfulness of home-- the house of bread in Whom is praised: may your kin kindly redeem your blood* ●○ °
