1058 Bloom—is Result—to meet a Flower And casually glance Would scarcely cause one to suspect The minor Circumstance Assisting in the Bright Affair So intricately done Then offered as a Butterfly To the Meridian— To pack the Bud—oppose the Worm— Obtain its right of Dew— Adjust the Heat—elude the Wind— Escape the prowling Bee Great Nature not to disappoint Awaiting Her that Day— To be a Flower, is profound Responsibility—

Bloom—is Result—to meet a Flower
There came a time in the history of Nigeria when she dreamed for independence, There came a moment in the history of Nigeria when she groaned to gain freedom from the British; There came a season in the history of Nigeria when she desired to obtain independence from her rulers. The moment when she groaned for independence, The season when she was ready to groam freedom; The moment when she desired to be independent as a country. The moment when she seeked her elites to stand up and fight for independence, The season when she awaited the voice and appearance of her freedom fighters; The moment whe she believed that independence was ready to answer the call of nature in her country. The moment when she believed to find freedom and independence which as that missing part of her that made her a complete country, The season when she trusted and believed in the treasure called independence; The moment when she hoped and desired to be called an independent and sovereign nation in the history of the world. The moment when she was expectantant of the mother called independence, The season when nothing meant anything to her except for the father called freedom; The moment when she still believe to be an independent country despite foreign exploitations, with the understanding that she could still stand up on her feet as an independent country. She believed that someone who understands her tears and passion for freedom and independence, will arise and fight for her freedom knowing that he will never bear to see her travail in birth for independence. The elites she knew not but believed was out some where fortiing and preparing themselves for independence and fight for freedom. Independence she waited for like an expectand mother of a child, Each step she took was believed to bring her closer to freedom and independence. She believed in freedom and independence for her country and it's occupants, and not colonisation and exploitation from the British colony. She believed in fighting for freedom and independence than dying a coward, She believed in her elites efforts to obtain her independence and sovereignty. She expected her elites to stand up and rage for independence to freedom and sovereignty, which they did when the opportunity and strategy came for them to uphold. She believed that destiny will bring her independence and freedom, when the hour of liberation from exploitation comes. She believed that her pains and heart beat was felt and understood by her elites. The name independence she was passionate about and the fame freedom she was desperate about. The memories of colonisation she groaned to erase and the histories of exploitation she desired to filtrate. The name independence she struggled to uphold and the gain freedom she strived to unfold. Before her moment of independence, she strived to make full proof of her countrie's ambitions, she sort self asset and not self liability. She seeked and desired independence and freedom from exploitaion which she got. Her dignity and hour as a country was restored on that fateful day of October 1, 1960 whe she gained and famed her independence and freedom. She believed in independence and freedom which she got. The death of her elites and freedom fighters was never in vain. This is Nigeria At 53 and she is still a sovereign and independent country.

Never should I love, For never will you love me. Never will your deep, blue eyes Look in mine and read my mind, Like a psychic running her fingers along the lines of my palms. Palms that belong to hands you’ll never hold, And handle with care like you would antique china And at the same time grip with a firmness that tells me you’ll never let go. You’ll never let go because you’ll never wrap your soft, warm arms around me in the first place. Your soul will never entangle with mine and fill that void Left by a **** sliced deep within me. A **** left by my father’s youth, And my mother’s faith, Whose knife cut out their acceptance for me And gouged out my trust in them. Can’t you see that you are the antidote to my lifelong suffering? The Accutane to my welted face, The braces to my crooked teeth, The nitro to my aching heart The rhino to my bulging nose The morphine to my broken mind, The running to my fading health Running, running, running away Far away from this broken house Where your dreams never do come true and Where you come out to yourself alone in the bathroom and Where they can’t ever know the truth because my house is Where God resides in the attic and Where Jesus is the only one you should let in your room at night and Where The Holy Spirit has possessed us all to live a lie because my house is Where lifelong love is dead at the delivery room And who is there to blame but me? Who is there to blame but me? But none of that matters to you. It can’t matter to you, Because all you do is love And love And love And love And love. But you never love me. Each year I have known you I have reached out farther than the last, Yearning for something I could never obtain. Fifteen pushes past Fourteen, Both of whom fall short of Sixteen’s growing arms, Which are narrowly outpaced by Seventeen’s spindly, wirey fingertips. Every Year’s efforts have met the same fate; Failing to reach their target they instead grasp fruitlessly Into a dark, brewing storm, Full of tears, And of crackling sparks of hope That are met with the resounding booms of fate Telling me that I am doomed to be alone. Telling me that never should I love, For never will you love me. But I never listen. Because I know you too well. And I know that someday, Someday soon, You’ll make the happy accident Of stepping too close to my many straining hands, And I’ll pull you near to me And you’ll realize that you never loved her at all. And that you always, always have loved me. -The Boy Who Loves You Too

I reached for the stars, And I think I may have reached too far. The stars, they blistered and scorched my hands, While I was just trying to understand Of why in the first place I was there; Up in space throwing a glare at the moon. The moon who shun a godly, divine light, And at night Who was so bright, white, And elegant. Space who was dark, and as dim as my soul: The colour of ash and coal. I was just trying to obtain a stupid goal That I had. And the moon was white, and the space was black. The stars were gold and I had my back Towards the earth. But the gold stars and the white moon were not all that When they brought down an evil wrath On me. So the sun, who I actually feared, Cradled and held me near. Rocked me from side to side and called me dear. Circled the earth and formed a year To teach me that looks can be deceiving, Misleading, And can lead to infinte internall bleeding.

Deceiving Space
There are different types of women As you may very well know I am here to talk about her, And her goodness I will show A virtuous woman is And talks of good things, The joy of her love is strong, And happiness it will bring She works with her hands and Takes good care of her home She comforts her husband When he is feeling alone. She teaches her children and Trains them very well There is so much to be said About a virtuous woman but Not enough time to tell. Proverb 18 and 22 said; Whosoever finds a wife, Which is a woman, Find a good thing and obtain Favor in the Lord; They will remain together Till death do them part. A virtuous woman is not Slothful in business And serving the Lord Doing wrong will not be Found in her mind, Or even in her heart. Her husband trust her Every step of the way, He will never let her go No matter what you say. She dresses accordingly To make her husband proud She speaks with a gentle Voice, not very loud. She is always doing things to Get her husband praise, sometimes Just watching her Will keep him so amazed. A virtuous woman is strong And worth more than Rubies itself; and when Her family hurt, she Hurt more herself. A woman shall be praised If she is a woman that Fear the Lord. A virtuous woman Qualifies with mind, spirit, Soul, and heart.

A Virtuous Woman
*Do you find yourself holding on to nothing With absolutely everything you have So afraid that you will lose What you never had Are you just letting go of everything You’ve found so easy to obtain While crying out for that You wouldn’t want if gained Take a look at what you have Listen to its song Perhaps you’ll find it’s the very thing You’ve wanted all along If you find you’re never satisfied With anything you hold Then your heart may be singing The saddest song of old*

Saddest Song of Old
Here’s to the feelings that flow through my veins, here’s to the love whose trip was a lot of pain, here’s to the days where I am in vain, and here’s to your heart that I cant seem to obtain.

Unrequited love
While the clock ticks to the hour, yesterday's remains washed clean in the shower To obtain her power Applying her make-up for the night, making sure everything's just right, holding tonight doesn't end in a fight She'll do anything she can To please a man, even if it's not part of the plan The night is coming to its peek It's the money that she will seek Each night at the bar, hopping tonight she'll go far, we all know what you are We can see the attention you crave, by the way you behave You're willing to be any mans nightly slave & you only pretend to be brave As the bar doors close, you return to your hoes, you think you're slick & nobody knows about your ***** shows I can't tell you what to do But just remember when they are through, they'll just leave you, you're their ***** fling, their one night thing They'll never be your king nor give you a ring So go home, feeling alone Waiting by your phone But let it be known When you're pretending to be nice it's because Your love cones with a price!!

A Trick's Story
Benji...this is your conscience speaking... "You'll never be good enough for her, Who are you kidding? You aren't attractive enough, To obtain her love. What are you thinking boy...? Why are you trying to destroy everything left inside yourself. Do you want to be addicted to this drug? Better stop praying to the sky above... Get back up Benji, move a little faster or this storm is going to catch up with ya. I know you don't give a f**k, But you better start Or you'll end up back in that slump and this time...I'm not sure you'll get back up And pull yourself back out of that dump." Resurrect everything inside of my soul Reignite that light, that once shined Bring me back So I can fight, let me find That parts of me that I lost in the dark Give me the spark to restore life to my heart Just can't seem to get a grip People all around me Are gritting their teeth Waiting for my next slip Trying to anticipate my next trip That just ain't cool... Why don't you worry about yourself? I don't need your help. I've dealt with everything else on my own People catch me in public speaking to myself I'm just talking to the inner me trying to work out my inner being Haven't you ever been confused? Feeling self-accused, hurt and bruised. Resurrect everything inside of my soul Reignite that light, that once shined Bring me back So I can fight, let me find That parts of me that I lost in the dark Give me the spark to restore life to my heart "Benji look at you now... You crashed yourself into the ground You tried to rebound Back from the darkness of life You just drowned in the blackness inside You are losing parts of yourself Every time you're inflicted with pain Your soul melts You die a little more inside You're trying to ride this tide But you keep running out of time So you better decide If you're willing to climb This jagged cliff edge One last time." Resurrect everything inside of my soul Reignite that light, that once shined Bring me back So I can fight, let me find That parts of me that I lost in the dark Give me the spark to restore life to my heart ©2018 Written By Benji James

to me, love was always a mystery to me. i never truly understood what it was. though, i like to think that i did and sadly, i thought everyone else knew what it was too but just like me, it was a mystery. as someone who grew up without knowing what it truly meant, i always thought it was something you can look for again after it's gone, something that will make you feel better on your bad days, something that will complete you. i have loved so many times, or so i think i have. but honestly, aren't we just a bunch of people throwing around the word love thinking that we know what it means? unintentionally making someone else feel special, not knowing what the consequences of using the word love really are? now that i am older, i think i finally understand. that love is something no one can ever talk about without mentioning how much it actually hurts. loving someone meant truly wanting them in every way possible. most of us cannot handle how imperfect a person may be, and we will try our best to change them because "we only want the best for them." love is not finding perfection in someone's imperfection, but instead it is accepting the imperfections in someone and learning to love it as well. i know i still can't tell you what love really means but i have found someone who helped me understand what love might be. i loved every bit and piece of him, i loved everything about him. all his flaws, his appearance, his heart, his personality, his tantrums, the way he talks over me when he gets excited, how he tries to see eye to eye with me even when we have completely different point of views, **** i loved everything. everything that i never thought i'd like, i did anyway. i didn't only want him, i needed him. he did not complete me, but we go so well together. i never wanted to change anything about him even though i wanted to see them do better. i was willing to go through it all with him, good or bad. is this what love really is? the fact that you know someone's bad side and you still love them anyways? you see, no matter who i meet in my life and maybe, just maybe i might love them but i will still be able to pinpoint their flaws and maybe those are the things i won't like about them or the things i wish to change about them no matter how much i love them because i am selfish. but with him, it's different because i loved it all. i still do. i never wish to change anything about him because that wouldn't be the person i love anymore and that's just something i can never do with anyone else, i can't love someone else like this. he taught me how to be patient, kind and accepting. but most importantly, he taught me how to love. sadly, this love is only meant for him and no one else because love is not meant to be thrown around like how we did to others before we have met each other. i guess your last lesson was teaching me that love also means wanting to see someone obtain the bigger and better things even if it means doing so without you. i can finally say this to someone and mean it, i will always love you, no matter what you do, where you go and who you meet in life. thank you, my love.

PART II: A GLASS CEILING DRIPPING WITH BLOOD Mohanad Younis, of Gaza City; Where the sand is stained with blood As the world feigns pity. Broken families, unspoken tragedies – The order of everyday life. He was born amidst chaos and strife, To a divorcing husband and wife. If life were lived in peace, This dissolution would’ve been a release. Not much more, not much less – A family’s lore, a decision to digress. In war-ravaged land, however, One needs every helping hand, Especially a soul that was so clever. Such a curious, voracious mind needed to understand; A furious, rapacious search, Unexplained conundrums to unravel and unwind. Why do we exist? Why do we fight and resist? Is it worth living with all these scars on my wrists? Does anybody outside Palestine care? Will they keep on watching? Or will they be unable to bear? Of this and much more Mohanad must’ve thought, As he sat at the Marna House Hotel, Smoking cigarettes, freshly bought. A student at al-Azhar, a mild-mannered pharmacist, A prudent man who would have gotten far. An admirer of Bassel al-Araj, another victim of oppression – An inspirer, a brother who alleviated his depression. Hunted down and killed by the IDF, Another pacifist murdered for being an activist. One figure of many who died; One of those who did not want to hide. Mohanad wasn’t a resistance fighter – He felt that such persistence did not make their burdens lighter. Instead, he wished to make his mind brighter, And perhaps have family of his own. He was in love, and wanted to get married, But life was rough, and warranted a future far more harried. The final twist of horror? Having the intellect to apply for University, And deserving the respect needed to obtain a reply, Yet not being allowed to leave the city. That is the news Mohanad had received, Hopes and dreams suddenly deceived. Denied a right to education Because he was born on the wrong end of a cruel fabrication. The glass ceiling, dripping with blood, Swallowed his hopes whole like a flood.

at their best, there is gentleness in Humanity. some understanding and, at times, acts of courage but all in all it is a mass, a glob that doesn't have too much. it is like a large animal deep in sleep and almost nothing can awaken it. when activated it's best at brutality, selfishness, unjust judgments, ****** what can we do with it, this Humanity? nothing. avoid the thing as much as possible. treat it as you would anything poisonous, vicious and mindless. but be careful. it has enacted laws to protect itself from you. it can **** you without cause. and to escape it you must be subtle. few escape. it's up to you to figure a plan. I have met nobody who has escaped. I have met some of the great and famous but they have not escaped for they are only great and famous within Humanity. I have not escaped but I have not failed in trying again and again. before my death I hope to obtain my life. from blank gun silencer - 1994

What Can We Do?
“Exams are important don’t let anyone try to convince you otherwise. People will try telling you that they don’t matter in the great scheme of things “There is more to life than exams Lisa. It isn’t the end of the world if you don’t obtain the grades to get into university” mum said. This is all ******** I’ve no intention of spending my life flipping burgers in some crummy burger bar. Do you know they have the cheek to call these places restaurants?! Problem is strictly between you and I, you won’t let it go any further will you? Promise, cross your heart and hope to die? Well as you only have my first name and it would be impossible to trace me I’ll let you into a little secret. The truth is that I am not academically gifted. Don’t get me wrong I try. No one tries harder than me. I’ve spent weekends huddled over my books cramming for my exams, “Lisa no mates that’s me” but it goes in one ear and comes out the other. I just can’t remember things, head like a sieve thats me! Well here I am now in my room at uni. You should have seen my mum’s face when I got the grades. There she stood her mouth gaping open like a stranded fish. Quite comical really. Did I say that all my hard work paid off? Well it wasn’t that difficult for an 18-year-old bomb shell like me to ****** the head master and get my hands on the exam papers prior to the examination. Perhaps academic qualifications aren’t everything after all”.

What is Forbidden?
I hear a knock upon my door. Or was it there inside my head, where only ever dread for the things in life I can't obtain remains; No matter how hard I may in one form or another train? And so I'll sell a piece of my soul yet again; My price of admission to taste love's glory for but a momentary grin. With you it was so much different. My heart is still broke, but my real loss is more than conviction. I lost my heart, my soul, my vision. A future bleaker than a demonic prediction. My mind is racing as I try to relax but thoughts of you come rushing back. I try to close my eyes to snore but there's always a monster lurking behind memory's door. And as I recalled I saw my cursed fate, Always here to be here but never to stay. I'm airport luggage thrown and lost, Maybe sought another day. But I'll still love you through any amount of pain. I've loved before you but never loved in this way: So full of passion and love for who we both are and could be. I'd marry you now and yet I've never stopped you to say that you're such an invaluable friend, and I'm sorry I can't be okay. I hate that I'm not only jealous but hurt when I shouldn't feel so deeply burnt by the girl that stole my heart; She's so far beyond my worth. But she came at night and without a knife she took my heart off it's throne in life, and put it kneeling like she had the key. As if some Divine being that, before we had even met, had my heart beat. Your love for him is clear even from afar, And so my heart will beat forever subpar. So confusing are you truly to me. The one thing I know is you are the one to whom my soul and heart chose to leave me to be.  Maybe heartless and soul-less should go hand in hand? Ripped from the body by something far greater than man.  Something unknowingly more than human, yet divined by human hands. Ill be content that while I'm still so broke, She can be healed and her love will help her float: And she can finally forgive herself for the wrongs He wrote. She'll shoulder the pain and strife of life,  With love beside her every night. I can be okay but never better, So I write to myself and you all this letter. I'm high as a kite, And just as exposed, I will never not hear the call of my soul. Depart away so you can hate me, And close the chapter of my life called meaning. I want only for you to be whole. Regardless of cost, repercussion or role. My love for you will live until dawn rises untouched by Earth's rock. Yet ever haunting as a ghost who only ever knocks.

Knock

Doubts
PROMETHEUS (alone) O holy Aether, and swift-winged Winds, And River-wells, and laughter innumerous Of yon Sea-waves! Earth, mother of us all, And all-viewing cyclic Sun, I cry on you,-- Behold me a god, what I endure from gods! Behold, with throe on throe, How, wasted by this woe, I wrestle down the myriad years of Time! Behold, how fast around me The new King of the happy ones sublime Has flung the chain he forged, has shamed and bound me! Woe, woe! to-day's woe and the coming morrow's I cover with one groan. And where is found me A limit to these sorrows? And yet what word do I say? I have foreknown Clearly all things that should be; nothing done Comes sudden to my soul--and I must bear What is ordained with patience, being aware Necessity doth front the universe With an invincible gesture. Yet this curse Which strikes me now, I find it hard to brave In silence or in speech. Because I gave Honor to mortals, I have yoked my soul To this compelling fate. Because I stole The secret fount of fire, whose bubbles went Over the ferrule's brim, and manward sent Art's mighty means and perfect rudiment, That sin I expiate in this agony, Hung here in fetters, 'neath the blanching sky. Ah, ah me! what a sound, What a fragrance sweeps up from a pinion unseen Of a god, or a mortal, or nature between, Sweeping up to this rock where the earth has her bound, To have sight of my pangs, or some guerdon obtain-- Lo, a god in the anguish, a god in the chain! The god Zeus hateth sore, And his gods hate again, As many as tread on his glorified floor, Because I loved mortals too much evermore. Alas me! what a murmur and motion I hear, As of birds flying near! And the air undersings The light stroke of their wings-- And all life that approaches I wait for in fear.

You smile across the room And it's not aimed for me But then I see those dimples Glowing with the embers of your gaze And I know I will come back to you No matter what In hopes to obtain your affection and attention And feelings I only wish I still caught in my grasp

How about distribution, Another ******* poem To and About "love," and aspirational ***                                                     Lip metaphor: A thick paperback flipped through  both covers in a momentary fluttering; I love that sharp sound.              Can we break the law a little? The one that we made without words, and no acknowledgement was needed.                    -So we'll only break a few, The one that keeps our lips apart; our individual pages each being read one sentence at a time, maybe passed around the party to obtain a variety of opinion for the same smooth structures.               So needy for an affirmation, you, all of you, all of us. All of Our ******* lovepoems and lovers.     Misery a lot- Don't pretend you arent enjoying it, you masochists, writers.              About *** Take them off, just take them all off-leave no room to guess, I will not dare aspire toward my fiction. Or else leave them on, and sit here, and lay here, lie here, sleep here, wake here, leave here unviolated by my hands-but keep yourself dressed.

A Love Poem,Sarcastic.
Maturity© What is maturity? Is it knowing that tomorrow will be a better day? Is it having made all the mistakes until there are no more to be made, Is it sitting in front of a computer playing games with your inner child and it being okay? Is it a sense of knowing that the world is unfolding as it is meant to be. Maturity is defined as development, Is this the development of the human body? Is this the development of intellectual matter or Is this the development of human potential? Is this the development of a spiritual knowing or connection? How is maturity obtained? Do we grow up to be mature? Are we taught and learn to become mature, Do we obtain maturity through experience? Or does age provide an automatic pass to maturity. Is maturity that stage where all is lost? Or is maturity when the world is our oyster, Or when there is an inner knowing of ourselves, Or is it when we achieve all of our goals and dreams, Or is it when we have figured out the world around us. Maturity, let me know what it looks when you find yours, I seem to have misplaced mine. Andreas Simic©

**Greed**
Well, well, well Something that you don't wish to obtain: wellness. Whether it be hunching over the toilet, evacuating today's third feast of the day, or continuing to hear whispered words from made-up beings, not taking the cocktails to silence them or maybe, just continuing to stay empty, not letting anything fill the void Staying sick -- Whether it be of the body, mind, or soul, will not make others love you more, and it will not make others stay but it will have them fade away just like you

Deadly Obsession
I fall to my knees, Kneeling before you, My Master, Groveling at your glorious feet, To reveal the chains of submission, Weighing down my delicate form. You gaze upon me, Beholding soft skin shimmering, As my body is folded over; Viewing my tantalizing beauty, As I bestow myself, To fulfill your deepest desires, Conjuring the darkest yearnings, Manifesting within. “Rise, Baby Girl’’, Your deep voice commands, Reverberating within this crimson colored chamber, As your figure towers over me, Beckoning my legs to stand, Obliging to please you, As my hazel eyes encounter, The blazing intensity of your own, Sending flames to burn, Down to the small of my back. Fear is the armor I allow to fall, Tumbling to the ground, Cloaking myself in trust, As I allow my body to be, Touched by dominant hands, Trussed up by ropes and chains, To restrain to me. Willingly becoming prey, To the sweet, antagonizing caress, Before your hand aggressively strikes, My behind, Sending me into a realm, Of pleasure and pain, Morphing into one sensation. Free is the response I experience, As you bounds my wrists, With your tie, Pinning me down, Straddling my body. Placed between your thighs, With your heated lips, Conquering every inch of my body. The Sting of the flogger, Is a bite against the skin I crave, As silence is the language, I choose to speak, Feeling your fingertips claim me, As your territory to reign over, As you please. I yearn to satisfy the hunger, Starving to be your nourishment; For Sadism to feed, Upon masochism, As a balance of power is established, As we lose ourselves in fiery passion. Dominance and Submission, Forces meant to bond to the other, In a marriage of infliction and reception, Of blissful agony, Accepting the temptations you direct, Towards me as guide, To obtain our darkest of fantasies. Submission speaks out within, The silence as I give you, A proffered hand, Succumbing to the sensual dreams, You promise to me, Allowing you to possess me in any way, You wish in accordance to our terms. May you indulge upon my form, Like decadent candy you crave, To devour, Savoring every taste, Sound, smell, and touch, In this licentious dance between you, My Master, And me, your fervent lady, Of submission.

"Submission"
