THE FLOWERS What I told you about the flowers no one probably won't tell you. Is it not about their fragrance and how amazing it is that they share their life with you. They hang around your garden and patiently wait on you with their perfume of love. To make you happy with the fragrance of their healing presence, they share their fragrance and working tirelessly in gladness they gracefully grace your life with grace. They lay down at our feet always ready to bring pleasure to our leisure. To please you they share lavishly and are generous about it. They bring pleasure back into our homes by spreading their fragrance. Even when bruised they give out their best fragrance out of love to soothe and bring succour to our tired mind. They also help decorate our world with their beautiful flowers to make our lives lovely. How can we not appreciate their presence in our homes, garden and environment. They are divinely precious beautiful treasure with an alluring power to help us heal. Little beautiful gifts from heaven with such an unforgettable sublime and divine fragrance. Spreading their love they reach out to us even from miles away adorning our weddings and other events with their fragrance and presence and speaking to us in the language only the heart can understand. Nature gave us fragrance in flowers so lovely and endearing that no one can resist their friendship. To walk with them is unbelievably sweet. ©2018,Emeka Mokeme. All Rights Reserved

THE FLOWERS
Before you criticize me too soon, I think you should spare some seconds and answer a simple question to yourself... If Shahjahan loved Mumtaz Mahal so much, why he had a harem of wives to use at his own pleasure? While I agree that the Taj Mahal is arguably the most extraordinarily beautiful monument in the world, I don't agree upon the fact that it was built as a tomb of love. It is just a symbol of madness if you asked me. An emperor's insecure feeling to get his name registered in the history books. While it may be one of the most beautiful architectural monument, it was built by over 20,000 architects, craftsmen, masons and engineers who took over 16 years to build the magnificent building. He got this apparently high & prestigious monument of love built but everything that the Emperor did was not pleasant at all. ° The lavishly living Mughal Emperor spent all his - his subjects' money into building this monument of love instead of keeping his subjects well-fed. ° Mumtaz Mahal might have been the luckiest woman to have died and got such a marvelous building built as her mausoleum but she died giving birth to her & Shahjahan's 17th offspring and then Shahjahan who had uncountable other wives was inspired by her demise apparently to undertake what is termed as the biggest project in history build the costliest monument proclaiming his rule. ° The arrogant - falsely proud lover - Mughal emperor didn't know that what he thought to be looked at as the greatest symbol of love will be criticized by some poet in his own land nearly 375 years later. The insane Mughal Emperor got all the builders of the Taj Mahal's fingers cut-off of so that there could be no other Taj Mahal. But Aurangzeb, his & Mumtaz Mahal's son overthrew his power when Shahjahan got older and locked him up in a jail at the other end of Yamuna river where the emperor then died a sad old lovelorn bedlamite person in prison. Aurangzeb was the exact opposite of his dad, he showed religious intolerance and his habits drove the empire towards its doom after his death. But let me think this way; when I look at any picture of the Taj Mahal, what I get the first thing in mind is this: Such a CRAZY emperor who got such a beautiful monument of Egotism built!

Eat plenty of oatmeal. Sauna every season, Roll in the snow, Naked. Laugh, until you cry, Cry, until you laugh. Leave a love note, For no reason. Take long, lazy, walks, Behold Mother Earth. Hug tightly, Tease lightly, Kiss tenderly, yet mightily. Listen always, Heart open. Forgive quickly. Love lavishly. And… Every day, Every single day, Pray, Pray, Pray. ~ PE Kaplan

Finnish Wedding Blessing
Rest in this, my bruised and weary soul: I was a wretch, chosen to be a beauty; a slave, chosen to be a bride; an orphan, chosen to be an heir; an enemy, chosen to be a friend. I deserved nothing but wrath and death yet received everything of life and grace. I am loved beyond any dreaming of it and blessed above all worldly wealth. I have the incomparable birthright of those whose Father is God and whose Lord is Jesus Christ— righteousness from Him and peace with Him. I am a cherished gift from the Father to the Son. I was paid for by the Son’s own blood and am "engraved on the palms of His hands." I am the living temple of God’s Holy Spirit Who empowers me to do His pleasure and bring Him glory. I am the LORD's, chosen and set apart for His delight. ***What more could I ask? But that's only the beginning...*** I will live as blessed as I believe myself to already be, for "I have been blessed in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ," "given everything I need for life and godliness" through knowing Him and His precious promises, "an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade— kept [securely and eternally] in heaven" for me. I've been "raised up and seated with Christ"; my "life is hidden with Him" in the Father, and "He will fill me with joy in His presence, with eternal pleasures at His right hand." Oh, that "the eyes of my heart would be enlightened with the spirit of wisdom and revelation" to see what’s already been prepared and given to me and to know much more fully the One Who has so meticulously prepared and lavishly given it. As I walk intimately with Him and rest confidently in Him (based only on His merits, never my own), I am given free access to my account in His heavenly storehouse and enabled to appropriate its glorious riches to every circumstance of my life, even the most searingly painful and confoundingly difficult ones. I have a spiritual Fort Knox available to me through knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, but He Himself is my greatest treasure. Without Him, nothing else matters. Nothing else has meaning if I am not found in Him, clinging to Him and carried by Him. When I finally become desperate for Him alone, I begin to understand the profound reality of all He desires for me and offers to me in my spiritual inheritance in Him. There are infinite presents to be unwrapped in His presence which cannot be told in human words or comprehended by mortal minds, but they wait to be taken hold of by any and all who would take hold of Him. ***For He gives and gives and gives and gives, and even when He takes, He gives.***#

A silhouette of some kind That appeared and vanished At the end of what seemed a horizon A silhouette of a creature That left behind the day And just so simply vanished… With a sigh I defy The fact of what I saw And had written it away as a memory A memory that I had made to be as a figment of my imagination that I had formed in this gloomy day.. And with a chuckle I cleared my throat And moved on… But I couldn't sleep For that night The moon so lavishly Without a care As though without a thought Stood Shimmering in the sky beautifully Instantly revealing that what I had seen this morn.. And with a feeling That seemed as though this night would never end I walk up and ask That if not impossible Can you tell me who you are? I wonder A beast, a spirit, a demon, an angel, a monster…. You do not speak And I start to dream And for some reason… with every minute that I spend Staring at you I begin to fall in love.. Oh god.. help me.. For it seems that I have once again begun to feel… And as I try to avoid And as I try to move It seems that I cannot get myself to keep away.. From connecting myself to you… In a way that will never break away.. Oh how a bitter day has made its way For a simple silhouette now soaked and stripped Completely transparent with nothing in its way A silhouette of black and white Completely stripped down As though wishing to die And as the day goes by You seem slightly in sight I try to move on and walk away But wherever I go I seem to find you somewhere.. And unfavorably I gaze at this Lilac horizon When all of a sudden ..What happened? The clouds seem to have disappeared And you are no nowhere in sight Yet under a cloudless sky falls a downpour Indefinitely in sight Confirming I hadn't just gone blind.. It seems that I have just realized That I had fallen in love with something otherworldly I fell in love much more that I should have.. And now that you aren't in sight I am lost Without a path to walk I don’t know what to do But why Even though we didn't speak Even though we would just meet Why does your absence Create such a transparency within me… And so I whisper good-bye, even if just for myself Thinking that you were not but a figment of my imagination all this while A tear drops As I take a step forward A miserable and helpless man I was What a miserable and helpless man I am….. I fell in love with something unknown I fell in love more gently that I thought Such a tasteless romance.. To fall in love with something I do not know To fall in love with something I do not understand And as the hours go by I begin to cry I begin to cry I request for a prayer I request for a wish "Give her a soul Give her a body Tell me she was real TELL ME SHE WAS REAL ….please” A silhouette so dark A silhouette silent Invisible and dark As though never existent Flying away Flying away And without knowing what you are It seems I had completely fallen in love A love so gentle… A love so tasteless… I fell in love with nothing but a presence Of something I didn't know Of something I didn't understand.

Non-Existing Silhouette

struggle is the art form of the pitied, imagine living lavishly, lightheartedly like a ladybug in the spring just outside the city and bliss: seldom seen in soldiers, a privilege of the over privileged, shining a bright, White light on each and every one’s inner Judas, a way to justify their means to demean the conflict of the ages: stay not in the sad, safe confinements of that chrysalis or smell not of that sweet, sweet, chrysanthemum whose breath rocks of morbidity. breaking boundaries or snapping necks like twigs on twigs on a White winter’s day, the summer: long gone, and the fall: Black bruised knees and scraped thighs, and a White world’s worth of words left to say. the New Year and the spring, alive and true, are carried in by the southern wind and trying times are all but through.

I know what I know, and I don't know what I don't know. Let all who know tell me about what I don't know. Check your self and let me know what you want from me. The whole world is not really good or bad place. It is a mystery that you cannot fathom. To play your own game and win must be your priority. Life is about risking and sharing the gifts, talents and abilities you were endowed with and finding your place in the scheme of things, and to leave your signature and fingerprints in the canvas of life. It is about opening up with love, kindness and compassion and be generous in nature. To lavishly share your life and contribute in abundance the blessings you were gifted with. It is about transforming yourself into an exulted being you were created to be. To find the balance that centers you. It's about daily discovery of your innate dormant natural endowments and how to safely use it to your advantage and the benefits of mankind. It is about opening up like the rose flower, sharing your fragrance. ©2018,Emeka Mokeme. All Rights Reserved.

SHARE YOUR FRAGRANCE
Why do poets and photographers love fleeting things? Angled shafts of sunlight piercing a mass of clouds. A rainbow flashing from dragonfly wings. Water drops beading like shards of glass. The fluttering shape of a sycamore’s shade. The sun sinking into its reflection In a purple bay.  Smoke’s shadow. The rayed Curve of a finger reaching for perfection. Whatever churns, bursts, rocks, flies, Foams, flickers, roils, evades In pigments of impermanent dyes We try to fix before it fades Once I mourned the endless dying   Of here and now, the present always past Elegized each moment, sighing Beauty is loss and can never last. But now I think I had it wrong.  In fact (I learned this from an artist’s eye) Fleeting beauty reappears faster than we react, At the speed of a daydream flashing by. All around, light coalesces into form, Form explodes into light, And we live lavishly inside this storm If we can learn to see it right. Beauty multiplies, tapering, swelling: Reshaping, reforming, now familiar, now strange. This gaudy blur in which we’re dwelling Is the permanence of change.

Fleeting Things
Together we swim, Skin touching satin skin Fingertips grazing knees and thighs As my engine of a heart enters overdrive with glee Her breath keeps me alive against the strain of our instincts My breath catches and my body contorts Until I am suddenly entangled with a hooded figure instead His heavy limbs pin me against the wall and his hands greedily search through my home I realize I am being robbed but He's not a stranger His lips warm my neck and I choke on his telltale cologne as his hands hastily break through the deepest closets that house my innocence, my treasures, and no matter how sternly I refuse, he shoves through the doors until he finds exactly what he wants I thought it was hidden I thought it was safe I thought it was mine He smiles and lavishly thrusts his hands into my special box Thanking me, Between heavy breaths, for giving him access to my prized possession, To my heart But when he asked for a taste I refused. But He insisted and Kept pushing Pushing And pushing against the wooden door until it splintered and snapped and he could enter with Or without My permission Once inside, I had no choice but to let him manhandle my possessions, I can never again close that door that He broke To fulfill his needs and To satisfy his craving Although he leaves with satisfaction dripping from his palms I know it won't last forever His hunger will return again, Stronger. And no matter how much I invest in new locks and thicker blockades around my special space He has already stolen a taste of the core of my emotions that That door served to protect He will return again, with a sense of entitlement to my insides And I won't fight back Because his sweaty palms and greasy skin have already leaked onto the pieces Even those he had not yet touched My pure and personal secret now leaves nothing but bitterness on my tongue and stains on my body And now, I still feel his hands, not hers I hear his breathing Feel his weight pressing against me, His hands destroying my body I become hysterical and Tears burn my eyes and stain our sheets. I see the panic in her eyes She doesn't know She doesn't know I'm ***** and broken She doesn't know why And I can't stop crying She's scared. I would be too But I'm dead inside.

(#3) She Can't Touch Me Because He Did
Together we swim, Skin touching satin skin Fingertips grazing knees and thighs As my engine of a heart enters overdrive with glee Her breath keeps me alive against the strain of our instincts My breath catches and my body contorts Until I am suddenly entangled with a hooded figure instead His heavy limbs pin me against the wall and his hands greedily search through my home I realize I am being robbed but He's not a stranger His lips warm my neck and I choke on his telltale cologne as his hands hastily break through the deepest closets that house my innocence, my treasures, and no matter how sternly I refuse, he shoves through the doors until he finds exactly what he wants I thought it was hidden I thought it was safe I thought it was mine He smiles and lavishly thrusts his hands into my special box Thanking me, Between heavy breaths, for giving him access to my prized possession, To my heart But when he asked for a taste I refused.

It's a much sweeter today than yesterday indeed. Radiant meadows are on fire beneath the trees indulging blue fairies' summer bowl of sun shines abundantly overflowing lavishly enough to render in every rose of humming bees. Pop up to flowers and bouquets maybe the song on the birds' lips: Time is today to jump in on a London summer clement scene!

Lo, Lapiz Lazuli
I was born of a fisherman, fine and faithful Faithful to God and the sea, faithful to my mother and me I am a daughter of the sea, sensible and salty To the sea I am impressed, there is peace that permeates Perhaps it is in my bones, Portuguese explorer’s blood When I breathe the salt air, its spirit deflects despair This love derives from my father, this love affair with saltwater This man of the sea fosters respect, but also tends to overprotect Perhaps the sea prepared him to be practical and prudent Undulating waves shaping his vision, dreams escorted to fruition For these dreams I am grateful, for the breath of the sea The lust the ocean produces in me The love from his heart, the love from the sea Floated over the waters so lavishly so lovely I'll send him a kiss across the Atlantic I hope it lands neatly on his cheek I hope it reaches him, quick

Fisherman's Daughter
*Their eyes light up, As they glanced into the mirror, In their distinguished and fashionable costumes, Awaiting to attend the first annual magical competition, And their face glowed, Upon departing their private rooms. On a glamorous Halloween night, When three endearing teenage girls, Played Jasmine, Cinderella, and Belle, They dressed in extravagant fairy tale gowns, As they held on a prestigious lobby rail, And their heart stood still, as they walked down the stairs, in a fine hotel. When guest sighed and applaud, Into a standing ovation, While the princess' streamed upon the platform, In their lovely long dresses, Posing lavishly, in distinctive and vibrant colors, And in amazement, they came to a halt, in an exquisite form. When three young male ushers, Gently, reached out their hand, Slowly proceeding with their Disney queens, Guiding them to the dance floor, And soon their wishes, Became quite a reality, like a dream. But before the clock struck to 12:00, The girls quickly ran towards the door, When one of Cinderella's shoes, slipped off her foot, And was unable to stop, Since a curfew was set at home, And there, it sadly stood.*

On A Glamorous Halloween Night
she is a dream that wakes you up desperate to return to sleep so as to feel her again, so as to be lured in irrevocably deep she is as a dragon is when unconscious on the ground harmless in speculation, not moving, just a heaping mound stay wary lest she strike with her closed jaws that ache to bite you will bleed then thank her lavishly with the foundations of your might for even sparing you the smallest slice of pain from her sculptured lips for even giving you the privilege of her attention in small strips she is my dream, she is my glory, it is my spirit she has caught and i will always be naught but her ever fleeting thought

for the girl with the forest green eyes and the chamomile tea lips
Urdhva Hastasana Salida del sol. Her paws are bare Ablaze against the black stone heat of the morning stroll Pausing for the last monsoon, whispering Salut? There would not exist consequence for a dampened nose of pusillanimity Carelessly drawn to the astrophysical realm of celestial bodies Illuminating the chivalry once more. We'll sing chansons Oh cabaret! The circumstance and pomp eliding Lavishly rouged lips from sterling glances Exposed by the slow and sultry raise of copper eyes Premeditated, so that they lift in perfect timing Beneath dark lashes to seem accidentally mesmeric. I still lose amethysts They drop from the back of my ears unexpectedly Their plunge of contact against the water Catches my attention but no more Of a thought should surface except to surface The stones from the depths pooling around my ankles. The rain won't drain and hasn't for months She scratches her hair but the pining never stops. I rub her ears so she'll display such an ardor Revealed in company and solitude simultaneously To be weighed and doubted and accepted and declined Beneath the stony gaze of the eyes of a god Swindling a wrinkle in the shower curtain. Alas what a shame it is Besitos aren't quite fancied here. Ne prennent pas garde aux berceaux, Que la main des femmes balance. Puesta del sol.

Urdhva Hastasana
It sketched and slapped an ombre of crimson reds & tangerine oranges until it carved a comfortable atmosphere amongst the void blacks and howling navy blues. Her sun bleached hair dangled over her forehead. They were the vines that tangled into wispy curls of tiger's eye gold that hung lavishly in front of the youngest temple. Her eyes were sour, a Blink and a whistle. Someone coughing on the last bus outta town. Those powerful cheek bones, that she obtained through her constant "according to" accordion smile, fell off into a pair of lips that were just pronounced enough to make her look like she would laugh & **** tempt or incinerate. Intellect winked from her every word like a whip of cold water and eggnog. The Campfire was an artist. It delicately plucked a scene ripe with confidence and relaxed alcohol. A tone that made her amazonian scowl seem intimate and gentle.

The campfire was an artist.
Steam spilling, white froths licking Marble mantle pieces, stone white Opaque ghosts swirling conspicuously, Silently naught with disturbance and gloat Humble in nature, the steam spills From the open pours, Streaming running water spring, a delightful swing slight melodies of sulfuric and mountain flirting lavishly , emitting heat an early morning bathe, bright sunshine invades sleeping shadows tinted cold a chilling sensation humming with that of the pool’s lip --fluttering autumn leaves— --cascading crystal flakes— --rustling green trees— --tickling cool rain— The surface of the spring’s pool remains It stirs with the slightest breath Occupying stark bodies Gleaming baby red Washing away, cleansing a new day As sunlight sparkles on the Mirror surface

surrender
If you were a corpse accepting cremation I would be the flame that lavishly licked your flesh, the heat, heaped for your hair on a pyre the last peril your boney body submits to, making the air all around stink of you. Forget the fact that you corrupt my mind, it’ll only work out if your thoughts stink of me. If for one second during your self worshipping, wistful stares into a mirror that drips a musty condensation that lingered from your skinny, **** torso after your morning shower, you stand there smile ******* yourself with puckered lips and un-dilated pupils, flirting with camera phone pixels you think to yourself; * Should I post me on myspace? Should I send a text message pic to myself? Should I forward it to that guy that I met to make him think that I’m burning for him?* If for that second I could be but that spark, an after thought flare that gets you to want more than what it is that you got, where would you go? With whom would you make yourself over? I’m waiting for the morning your ashes wake next to me; smoldered and spread out over my mattress and under my breath, and your eye lashes charred with clunky mascara crumble as you replay in your silly head the late mass I celebrated last night when I exhumed and inhaled that same condensation; Little taste droplets of you then exhaled from me to your golden tin flesh that burned you to ****** Because of my tempered tongue you cravingly bathed with, because of your hair I feverishly wrapped round my fists as my head altered and smoothed out from whiskey bounced waves of frivolous thrusts pulls releases, pushes twitches friction in perfect timed fashion between your radio antenna thin legs and your rib meat torso you forced my lips unto. That will be the night you will come. Yeah, that’s right SEE YOU MMM-hmmm, I will see you melt on that night. And it will be your cremation.

Your Cremation
If you were a corpse accepting cremation I would be the flame that lavishly licked your flesh, the heat, heaped for your hair on a pyre the last peril your boney body submits to, making the air all around stink of you. Forget the fact that you corrupt my mind, it’ll only work out if your thoughts stink of me. If for one second during your self worshipping, wistful stares into a mirror that drips a musty condensation that lingered from your skinny, **** torso after your morning shower, you stand there smile ******* yourself with puckered lips and un-dilated pupils, flirting with camera phone pixels you think to yourself; * Should I post me on myspace? Should I send a text message pic to myself? Should I forward it to that guy that I met to make him think that I’m burning for him?* If for that second I could be but that spark, an after thought flare that gets you to want more than what it is that you got, where would you go?

HEART OF THE FREED
All he could see were numbers that reached out and grabbed taxes and takes, invoices and expenditures. He could not see explanations of delight that little mistake I made with fringe benefits, those royalties that never came. In the end his only concern was to pay the taxes to build the roads, skyways and airports where he would travel and stay. I wondered how he slept at night cocooned in numbers just 1-9 with a hefty zero that made the difference between rich and poor I wondered how he could survive on numbers no cucumbers, sunshine salads, beach beauties, high waves of reckless living, low tides of penniless nights and endless days of counting little many times over. He said to me once: Save every cent, fortify yourself against depression and natural disasters, don't spend lavishly there's a price to pay cut up your credit card. Live austerely. Oh yeah?. That same day I got an extra CC, a nice Merc, some good looking sunglasses (to shield my eyes from the accountants glare) and a cruise to the Mediterranean where the blue waters beckoned. The accountant visited the GP twice more than me that year. I'm still working the fat off at the gym. ( I suspect petty poets do the same thing all the time?) Author Notes Anyone know this guy?

The Accountant
The seductress has learnt it, But never has she earned it. She always lavishly used it, Pouting it away to ease it.

Pout Of Control
*Autumn adorns the universe, Into a transitional seasonal display, Preparing for a whimsical change, Upon evergreen trees, in rouge and ember shades. Lavishly, shedding slowly, Into a fusion of tones, leaving embellishing grounds, Bearing naked branches, As they casually toss down. Stroking their leaves, and sending colorful hues, Like a genuine piece of tapestry, Beautifully interlacing, And harvesting, 'neath the suns abundance of energy.*

A Transitional Seasonal Display
Idle moments, sweet talks Having the best times of my life Across the far numerous possibilities Velvety colors Everything was a beauty Morning smiles Egos whispering Telling what the most important Thing they could Have Ever imagined Marble-like eyes Onward towards you Sighs between regrets Tales won’t seem to work like they used to be I’ve always been wondering about Mystical creatures Pondering inside my chest Orbiting like constellations Running like a pack of wolves Touching this beating heart And making my head spin round and round Notions go shuffle like cards These were all because of a Person who happened to have passed by Earning almost everything kept Roaring out the most silent of thoughts Scorching the once chilled soul Over and over but I promise Nothing will ever change I’ve always been Never would be Minds on parallel paths Yours truly Living like it was the last I just wanted to say that it was Fun, fun to have these unruly Emotions constantly splashing different colors right before my eyes Brushing like it was part of a bigger canvass Under this small fancy reality To you, for you, by you Never, ever Once We would Have Expected these to happen World was my biggest stage Intrigued, excited Loving but never was once Loved back Shortly after breaks Often we imagine Often we wish but None of mine came true Lavishly fooling around Everything was gradually taken for granted Amidst those smiles was a Voice yelling Earning Mourning, trying to Ease the pain I’ve always Tried to be a puzzle Wishing for A Solver Focusing on me, and me alone Until I might as well return the favor Needless to say These petty wishes Have Always been the reasons why Nearly the whole scope of my imagination runs by circles and by Knots Yelling like mad Obnoxiously trying to be Untamed And Natural, always in Denial Good times never last Of all things Of all moments Dying to say Billions of sweet memories Yet the other side was not willing to listen.
