Oh Desert Prince!

Your existance is like the wandering golden sand of your fascinating desert;

Light enought to flow through every chambers of my heart,

Gorgeous enough to be the life of the caravan's artistic mirage;

Your love embrace me with sheer darkness and chills of starry nights,

But warm enough to captivate me to stay within your sight;

You are the desert Prince,
You flow like poetry,
Amaze like magic
Priceless unlike jewelries,
And your love seems like a beautiful tragic,
Awakening my deepest desires that I didn't know even exist;

Loving you is like enjoying a never ending magic carpet ride,

That keeps me on edge whenever passed by a strong tide;

Oh desert prince!
You keep me mesmerized how Scheherazade did to Shahryar with every story she brew,

Not Arabian nights though but there's always an unfulfilled thrill in every word you sew;

Oh wondrous prince!

Now when you have played the most melodious echo with my heartstrings
that'd shy away the Qanun,

I'll never let go of you,

Though I don't know if I'll ever have your heart as a miraculous boon;

I wish my life would be crazy!
Don't wanna spend
Another day being lazy.
Similar routine of daily life,
Never let my craziness thrive.
Sometimes it feels so boring.
Don't wanna spend
Another night snoring.
But what would the excitement be?
What's the new thing, i wanna see?
Wish I could get lost somewhere.
In a jungle or an island,
Yes i could dare.
Could climb on a mountain
Or go under water,
could be a horse rider or a hunter.
I would push the boundaries
To the furthest corner.
and go anywhere without a warner.
I'd love to lose my way
In the Grand Canyon.
Alone there. away from a billion.
I'd love to get thirsty in the Sahara
Or in 'Thar', be a 'banjara'.
would love to pass through
The scary Amazon,
where i'd see neither sunshine
Nor the horizon.
Or
Could go inside the cursed Pyramids,
& explore all of Cleopatra's jewelries.
Wanna jump from a flying chopper,
Or feel hot by some volcano vapour.
Get in a rocket and go to the Moon,
Or go up high in a hot air balloon.
All out of my reach.
Even a far away sea beach.
My desires all set to go down.
All I can do is, have a bike ride,
on the roads of my lovely small town.

people should stop romanticising their scars
like jewelries bloom upon their skin and flesh
aren't all of us a little bit addicted
with pain and the bruises, the spectrum they make
with the rain and thunder
the violent lullaby

Precious jewelries,cuddly stuff toys, sweet chocolates,
Flamboyant dresses, beautiful bouquets of flowers, luxurious accessories;
All these to me you gave
Though I did not ask for any;
I really do appreciate all these
But, hey sweetie, these are not what I need.
I know you love me so much
And you know I love you too;
I honestly couldn’t ask for more
‘Coz just being with you makes me feel complete.
I wanna go travel anywhere
Just promise me you’ll always be there;
I wanna lie down under a starry sky
While holding your hand, entwined with mine;
I wanna feel you closer to me
Feel the warmth of your arms around me;
I wanna lean on your shoulders
Though it’s tough, it makes me feel relaxed;
I want you to gently caress my hair
‘Til I fell asleep in your chest;
I wanna look into your eyes
See the happiness in you for having me by your side;
I want you to cuddle me tight in your arms
And I wouldn’t mind if it’s making me breathe hard;
I want your hand to cup my face and pull me closer to you
Feel the blood rushing in my cheeks ‘til it blushed;
I wanna hear your sweet voice whispering in my ears
Saying the words “I love you”;
I wanna feel your soft lips
Gently pressed against mine, brushing it lightly;
I wanna stay forever in your heart
And, I swear, it’s you who’ll forever stay in mine.
Maybe I've watched and read too much love stories already. Haha.
My Dear Poet Sep 2021
Can I ask for love
Without the romance
Without the slow dance
Without the holding of hands
Give the kiss, a miss
necklace and jewelries
without the emotional abuse
The manipulation we use
like flowers or presents
The chocolate selections
The dinner pretension
The relational misuse
and the facade we choose
When love in truth
is the exception

You are the desert prince,
You flow like poetry,
Priceless unlike jewelries,
Amaze like magic
Whereas your love seems
like a beautiful tragic;
Been reading a book

The brightest light blossoms
in the darkest of places
Like colourful lilies full
of fragrance springing from
the most stagnant waters

The nights
When the moonlight shimmers
with her golden colour
The stars decorate the sky
Just as a princess is decked with
ornaments and priceless jewelries.
The darkest of the nights gives the biggest picture.

The biggest hive,
With the biggest and fiercest of bees,
lies the sweetest honey.
Like an ugly flowers in the garden
Which perhaps will constitute
a beauty when on mountain.

The butterfly,
Which nature has used to
decorate the earth to shame Art
Has nothing to show
When it is a caterpillar.
But I can't look at her on lilies
without smiling like a tickled, dimpled baby.

Ain't nature generous enough
That she shows all that
there is nothing in anything?
The pen of a happy poet dances on paper
To tell his folk that there is always a silver lining after the tunnel.

Some people collect
bags, shoes, hats,
action figures, vinyls,
jewelries, books, etc.,
I collect memories.
I collect stories.
I collect dreams.
Sometimes I collect
parts of people's souls
in a jar and a piece
of their hearts in a box
and sometimes, I like to
glue them together
and it reminds me that
despite the unimaginable
size of this universe,
we're one and the same.

When people talk about desires
They fill their mind with fantasies
A house designed with gorgeous tiles,
Trending clothes or jewelries
We lock ourselves in leash of wants
Forgetting what matters the most
It turns us bleeding from the thorns
To get hold of the awful rose

But I am just a lucky one
I have some worthy thing to like
I mean I’m not that kind of man
Who cry for costly bike
All I want is this one lass
I don't know but I like this lass
She kinda made me want my school
Because she's always in the class

At first all that I want is games
That studying is just so lame
Until she walk in front of me
A new perception came
I'll never been the same
I want her picture in my mind
Intact in picture frame

I always want to feel her skin
To squeeze her nose and hand
Even if her hair was so thin
I still want every strand
All I want is to be good
And be mature at all
But even if she act so rude
She's still adorable

I wanna be her morning thought
To be the one she always sought
I want to be hugged by her tight
After shivering in cold night
I want to be her Christmas wish
And be her valentine
And if she want strawberries
I'll hunt a fruitful vine

I want her to accept a date
Whether or not I ask
To dance her in a promenade
Even from dawn to dusk
To be with her in the horizon
Or walk in garden of rose
I want to kneel in front of her
Be sweet as I propose

I want her wear a gown in white
Walked by her dad inside the door
Accept me though I'm wrong or right
A man who's either rich or poor

I want her amidst of the truth
Even she utter lie
I'll want her from our youth
Until the day we die

Tears of Rosaline

The night of ballgowns and flashy lights
Marbles staircase and sumptuous jewelries
You left me here without a clue,
When your eyes had seen her beauty
You forgot the sweet words you said to me,
When you are already making promises with her
I was your first but then you choose your second and happens to be your last
You seem to be happy with her
But don't you know that I was already dying in grief?
You enjoyed your storhy, neither her
All of the who people happy with your so called great love
But, do they notice me also?
I, who was the unknown part of your story
I, who was the unknown character of your love story
And I, who was your invincible chapter?
I felt bad for Rosaline she was the unseen character in the story Romeo&Juliet

You are an epitome of beauty,
the cornerstone of perfection,
calmly lovely and lonely
so art thou with eyes like dove
and a body moulded into a temple of beauty
you are embellished with grace
and love shines through your face
you are fascinating and enchanting
you make me feel i can defile gravity when i am with you
but thats why i am scared
i ask myself  how long can this continue
because love now a days has lost its meaning
as though love is a myth,
i know when it comes to love
trust is a must
but infatuation and youth exuberance are the order of the day
you may love me now but what about tomorrow and the days after
when the guy with fancy cars, mansions and jewelries
pop up in your life like ads on the internet
will my love matter or be battered?
i wasn't done asking this question before you answered
now i feel that love only exist in movies and in my dreams.
dreams??? what a consolation.

I don't need a palace
Your arms is my house
You are my home

I don't need cars
Even it's a hundred yards
As long as I walk with you

I don't need jewelries
I am wealthy enough
To have you is a treasure

I don't need forever
For each moment feels like a forever
When I am with you

I don't need much
Only your attention
Only your affection
Only your love

I don't need much
All I need is YOU...
~
all I need is YOU..

I would do it all over again:
Leave my safe space
Flee from my own sanctuary
Burn my body and face
Strut into an unknown territory
Fall down from grace
Give up my false sense of serenity

Trade my gold jewelries for pearls
Swap my diamonds for seashells
With the island air, I'd dance and twirl,
Along the ocean breeze, I'd twist and bend;
this bottled feeling is a message I won't send.

But I would do it all too:
Leave everything behind
if it's you I'll get to be with in the end
I would cut my own good hand,
go somewhere nobody can find
just for another day of me and you
in the island.

Of age old lighters
All vast and sundry
These are what make up
My father's hobby

Stuffed into his desk
Were such novelties
He could have boasted
Twas as large as he

Regular raven
With his jewelries
His full collection
I never did see

Only when he passed
Did I lay my eyes
On all the treasures
That drawer did hide

Every size and shape
Of lighter there is
I guarantee you
There was one of his

So much like his gauds
His wondrous person
Never came to light
Til he had passed on
a throwback.

I'm just a moment,
That can last an eternity.

A precious second,
That's worth more your jewelries.

A petite minute,
That can change your life

A blunt hour,
That throws out all the lies.

A weightless week,
That fills all your time.

A merry month,
That can challenge your prime.

And a yonder year,
That's so close yet so far.

Yes officer, they left two weeks ago,
The woman killed herself, is that so?
I don’t know much but
Seeing me by the market, she always said hello
She was pretty but never petty
She’s a lady who ended in a tragedy

Well, you see the husband was rich
He made a fortune in his business
Money, diamonds, roses, rings,
Whatever she wished.

So they were together for a while,
Her body was his fancy,
Her love rooted in the money.
But she was not mean, mind you,
She only cared for the materials
Like a house to shelter in,
Like a car to shield her from the rain,
Like jewelries to make her seem vain.

But how time flies,
The lines dug around the side of her eyes,
Extending underneath her cosmetics,
Wound around her expanding body.

But how love lies,
He was seeing someone else,
Keep exaggerating her faults,
Her ever-growing doubts.
I know, it’s a useless story to tell,
After all we did not want to see her fall.
Her jewels ripped out her neck
Shredded were the silks
And a house left in wreck.

But, sir, I’m truly sorry for her
A someone stripped down to no one
Her life unstrung, her story unsung,
And all her things undone.
I am thinking of writing a short story based on this poem. Any feedback/ advice is welcome. Thanks

Regress from the birth of pillars,—
To transcend heirs of Elegy,
Beneath tunnels on quaint calligraphy.

Follow the Spirit,
Alive and wide awake,— Possess beyond gates of Court stairs
Have thou seen a soiree?—Stroll on those scrolls,
Saith the name of an Altar maiden.
- -...
Feasting meals, hanging chandeliers—
I am wooed for this
The goblets were applauding
A dazzling poise,—The gem chose me
On the embroidered carpet,
I was the center of it
Switching footsteps, gliding the surface;—wearing my earned headpiece.
That moment,—
I leaned before the roses.

–"Oh, the tight abdomen
    I felt like I have no ribs,
    Finally, I can breathe—
    From such heavy clothing
    Well indeed, her beauty descends to
    me,
    They called me lady,—
    A woman of the finest jewelries."

"I want to see her,
May I rest again, Spirit"
...
This poem is a thread like episodes. Likewise, a series to be told.
What will happen next to her will be revealed through other subsequent episodic stanzas.

Wait for the next story..

Money, the temporary saviour,
Your own convenience betrays millions
And you fake everything,
Pathological liar, you are, it is part of your breath now
Funny things happen,
Still no jewelries could give you politesse

It's too late to save your soul, governor,
You were born with sins inside your genes

Lobotomized countrymen, ****** and shallow,
Majority wins, we somehow deserve to be inside of this damnation.

Adieu Grandma





Until that day, being 24th
Of December, 2016th
I came to know,
How jealous death is...
Grandma, till t-o-m-o-r-r-o-w
You remain an icon of peace,
Grandma, who could make
One laugh in her own ways
Of jokes and conversations,
Verily, you nursed great minds
As your children, grandchildren
And great-grandchildren,
Lo, I take your exit to be;
The Lords call to glory,
Though, is quite so unfair
You departed to glory a-bit early,
You should have waited
Till the pillars of earth bear wheels
So we bless you with more stars,
And gazillions of jewelries ...
Well, God rules and He decides,
In everything; all Glory to God
Ma Elizabeth Mba, rest on the
Shoulder of the Almighty God,
Amen, Amen, A-m-e-n !

If I were a painter
I will paint you on surface of water
I will paint your love on sky
So everybody that looks up
We know you are mine
I will use my brush and colour to
Express the express able

If I were an artist
I will sketch your beauty on walls
I will draw you on sand
So know one we walk on it

If I were a hunter
I will hunt the sweetest meat for you
My back will be your ride
I will worship you
You eat the best part of my game

If I were a Goldsmith
You be the first to taste the work of my hand
You would be shower with jewelries
Yours is to name it
And mine is to command

If I were to be a king
I will make you my queen
When I died
You be my successor
You be the one to rule
While am on the throne
If I were to be your husband
You suffer no more
Do not worry about the house
Choir
What am I here for?
My darling

If I were to be a priest or prince
The rain will not fall on you
Neither will the sun Smit you
I will bring the stars of the sky to you
I will command the moon to shine
On your way
Anybody that passes without greeting
With be beheaded
I will not pardon the flies
Neither will I pardon the mosquito
Every living things
Most know that you are mine

Where will I find myself,
if even the kitchen rodents hate me?
If the very person who bore me in her womb
just outright tells me she abhors me;
If all that comforts me at night
is a rotting second-hand sofa
And also an old blanket I got for Christmas
that warms me from the chills of a previous brouhaha;
How am I supposed to know my value,
if all they ever tell me is that I'm ugly?
That even the fanciest of jewelries and gowns,
can never make me pretty;
What can the world offer me,
when I'm blind and see only hues of blue?
Or when I cradle myself in tears,
when I know not what's next to do?
What do I owe the people
who see me hurt but don't wipe away my tears?
When I know they here me screaming,
while I beg for solemn peace.
How can I ever be so proud of my efforts,
if no one ever sees?
Most specially the people,
I need to see me bleed.
So bear with me if I tell you,
that I'm tired of listening,
because no one ever hears me out
when it's my heart that's been shattering.
Don't blame me if I tell you,
that I'm tired of living,
Bacause all those I ever trusted,
left and had me hanging.
Don't cry if you hear me say
that I'm tired of fighting,
Because all I was is in past tense
and it's too late for your grieving.

Our playful game were over.. savior of my day arrived.

He light my cigarette, grin on his face..
Slowly he blindfolded me..
Holding my little finger, he took me to his red room..
My body is getting impatient, inhaling these luxuries dedicated to my body in exchange of filling his life with colors.

With gifts, clothes jewelries of my favorite brands..
Lying over my suggar daddy, counting my gifts as I am held in his arms..
I melted his heart with a smile as he just stared me with his glistening eyes..

I kissed on his chubby cheeks,
Suddenly he relinquished his diamonds for me..
My eyes got sparkled and liquified..
Deep down I knew my fortune will get magnified.

His older looks, threw me a smile..
I found him notorious...
As he's on call tricking his wife...
Taking time out for me as I am so important in his life, with everything I do he just wish he could say "You're mine".

Detachable emotions, he is my lucky strike..
I play according to his bedroom rules
as long as I get my pay right...

I feel pitty sometimes, shaking his old hands
But deep in my heart all I knew I am his favorite candy better than his trophie wife!!!
As she took a step under a desolated roof,
there speaks a cold symphony of ferocious screams,
shattering every light bulb in a blink of an eye,
tearing precious jewelries into forgotten fragments.

She left her footprints on a forbidden path,
trying to balance herself at the edge of a sword,
and below of which,
lie countless of unwanted thorns.
Nonetheless, did she had a choice
but to dwell in her reality.

And with this…
She heard nothing
but the woes of the frail,
the scratches of the raging claws,
and the unheard screams of the deadly silence.

And with this...
She saw nothing
but the fractured reflections,
the dried tears from fragile windows of souls,
and the silhouette of an atrocious tragedy.

And with this…
She felt nothing
but a cold blanket of rejection,
a sore from the aftermath of the fray,
and the disturbing atmosphere of a thunderous storm.

Yet, with this…
She stood firm
in the middle of a scourging battle,
and sought for the light to find her might.
There, she faced her ugly reality with her beautiful soul.

Although now, she holds the triumph in her palms,
there, her wound still lies under her flesh
for the unforgiving bullets had shot her so deep
that this, her pain,
will always haunt as she lives.

But look at this woman now,
there grew a laurel on top of her crown.
Her smile grew so wide,
as genuine as pure white.
Now, she’s stronger than her dying unpleasant past.

This, because her soul is astounding,
like the firmest stem of the most stunning flower,
that blooms after the sun rises for the seasons,
and never dies even when the sun stops to rise.

This, I tell you for she is my inspiration,
the savior of my dying motivation.
For the broken is the stupendous,
and yes, my mother is the true prestigious.

If I  was born a royalty
then what would I be?
I wonder if I'd be respected
when I was born not out of glee

Will the world ever forgive me
if I spit out my tea?
Because I just know that I'd prefer coffee, no sugar no creme

I might be labelled to be not worth it while I clean out my plate
With my jewelries and royal privilege,
I'd set the world in flames.

Come pay homage in reverent tones
in shrouded musings bow and **** a snook
in sweeping denials hide the blue orbs rancour
rise on bended knees to praise you no longer crawl

if that be the blalant case in truth
why thou feast on worms in rags yet toil
faffing and farthing your depraved stench airily
its your origins that shames and from doth you hide

call out battlements of wingless flies
hang out your offals and call them jewelries
wait not till noon to guillotine your restless guilts
you have slain your hearts your riots are within yourselves

your tongueless words echos in vapours
depleted souls of wanton savages man Fort Arrogance
warring for birthrights thieved and plundered from afar isles
in black your red blood bubbles and screams defying justice unpaid

we know the maltreats of yesterdays
blazed the wrath of dark impostors dressed in white
you are but children of nightfalls awaiting retribution in kind
your bloods dry within as you akimbo in peat and poison to your end

so pray do crawl out and pay
Come pay homage in reverent tones

— The End —
