"peerless" poems
Sat on a sedan Spiderman took her hand. Went down on one knee And said Will you marry me? I cannot face The rest of eternity With each generation's Take on modernity. It's old fashioned values I look for and see - Your confidence, Common sense, Your honesty, Sincerity, Your quirkiness And peacableness. But most of all Your peerless take on life Is what does it for me. Will you be my wife? Spiderman, Spiderman, How you do woo! And you have such qualities That draw me to you - Your patience, Respect, Your considerable intellect, Your gentleness, Strength of mind - I could go on at length and find You could be my cobweb? I could be your fly? Could you be the man for me Until the day I die? What more can I say than You may have concurred That I do things my own way. So can you guess? Little Miss Muffet Said Yes! And do you know what? As they lay there On that Le Corbusier chair Without a care in the world - And you know it's not novel To be graphic - They were not afraid at all.

1736 Proud of my broken heart, since thou didst break it, Proud of the pain I did not feel till thee, Proud of my night, since thou with moons dost slake it, Not to partake thy passion, my humility. Thou can’st not boast, like Jesus, drunken without companion Was the strong cup of anguish brewed for the Nazarene Thou can’st not pierce tradition with the peerless puncture, See! I usurped thy crucifix to honor mine!

Proud of my broken heart, since thou didst break it
He comes, a moon whose like the sky ne'er saw, awake or dreaming. Crowned with eternal flame no flood can lay. Lo, from the flagon of thy love, O Lord, my soul is swimming, And ruined all my body's house of clay! When first the Giver of the grape my lonely heart befriended, Wine fired my ***** and my veins filled up; But when his image all min eye possessed, a voice descended: 'Well done, O sovereign Wine and peerless Cup!' Love's mighty arm from roof to base each dark abode is hewing, Where chinks reluctant catch a golden ray. My heart, when Love's sea of a sudden burst into its viewing, Leaped headlong in, with 'Find me now who may!' As, the sun moving, clouds behind him run, All hearts attend thee, O Tabriz's Sun!

He Comes
Deep in the valley, a beauty hides: Serene, peerless, incomparably sweet. In the still shade of the bamboo thicket It seems to sigh softly for a lover.

Never have I taken love for granted or in vain. If some perceive that this I've done I'm sorry for the pain. For love, that peerless gift of all should never be denied. But understanding's needed and in hearts it must abide. Absence makes it greater still as distance magnifies The longing harbored by each heart, though social mores defies. So cling to love through thick and thin through unrequited pain. Reality is just the one and love of self, the gain.

Love
No, no, go not to Lethe, neither twist Wolf's-bane, tight-rooted, for its poisonous wine; Nor suffer thy pale forehead to be kiss'd By nightshade, ruby grape of Proserpine; Make not your rosary of yew-berries, Nor let the beetle, nor the death-moth be Your mournful Psyche, nor the downy owl A partner in your sorrow's mysteries; For shade to shade will come too drowsily, And drown the wakeful anguish of the soul. But when the melancholy fit shall fall Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud, That fosters the droop-headed flowers all, And hides the green hill in an April shroud; Then glut thy sorrow on a morning rose, Or on the rainbow of the salt sand-wave, Or on the wealth of globed peonies; Or if thy mistress some rich anger shows, Emprison her soft hand, and let her rave, And feed deep, deep upon her peerless eyes. She dwells with Beauty--Beauty that must die; And Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips Bidding adieu; and aching Pleasure nigh, Turning to poison while the bee-mouth sips: Ay, in the very temple of Delight Veil'd Melancholy has her sovran shrine, Though seen of none save him whose strenuous tongue Can burst Joy's grape against his palate fine; His soul shalt taste the sadness of her might, And be among her cloudy trophies hung.

Ode On Melancholy
The foretold episode is ripe And the childless dawn is now flowering, The awesome parrots of Africa Have began swimming in the heavens And singing the verses of the paraded bees, For the warrior of South Africa Has ultimately impregnated the Godsbaa Without violating her divine virginity, The black star arouse from Ghana, Journeyed gorgeously through Zimbabwe And has decisively descended on South Africa, Bu this is just the divine seed Yet to grow into a full black African moon, For the black star of the black man Is the religious light yet to radiate on The colourless naivete of mankind, Ah, the premise behind this Exhibition makes a perfect sense, We did begin it all, Pilgrimage through it all And shall end it all, For the wreckage of Humanity flies with time And the megapower status Of the African is a fact of life, Today, a new voice has been Added to the joy of the black women, Causing the dry bamboo flutes to buzz With the pantaloons of the ancestors, Adorn our emerald embryonic pride with The ambrosial smiles charms of the sunrise, For he pelts of the peerless mid-night Has been remodeled with our dark gore. © PRINCE NANA ANIN-AGYEI Email: [email protected]

THE BLACK STAR
Lizard, peerless strategist, calculating well, sprung on the spider; the eight legged acrobat, escaped sliding down briskly on her web.

when a lizard and a spider confront
I. awoke to crest fallen clouds so heavy with water , and wind as wild as what was left in my heart . Intrepid it was not . Fearful of God it had become , Starved of joy , Peace , For if a man is left to starve he must go hungry and thirst for food , For it is all he can think of . If a man cannot find water he must thirst . If a soul finds God and does not find rest in his word , and looks for it not , Then his fields and trees may wither , What was once beautiful become ugly and dry . I stood on a mountain , I stand on a hill , With other boys beside me the Kite master stood still . With a Kite he stood , With grey sky's above , and released that Kite to soar above . Thick dense clouds it soared past thicket , trees and woods . I watched as the bird flew out of view . The masters call , is the faith to know , I stood there waiting ... Once where serindipidy stood , Somewhere between luck and chance dance , and fortune lights up a toast to all above , the Kite turned back , Spread its wings for home . with Faith , Hope and love it spread its wings . It's master called once again For the flies you swotted when you were young now reside in peerless sky's , in The Concert halls of God Playing Jesu joy of mans desiring . on miniature grand pianos , In honor of their creator . So pray , and seek , For I saw that Kite many hours in flight , as the evenings Sun sank , and darkened clouds asailed. It not , The kite in evening shadow returned , And even if all my friends had gone , The Kite masters call  , how long the wait It's never to late , And Christ is Lord of  all , to the Glory of God the Father .

For the first time ever; I truly do not care if you, him, or her wished me a happy birthday; But, I wouldn’t mind if you did. Though it is fair; I am one of the lesser friends; I am a boring play; A play so fake; I am of made up characters, Sometimes I am the flattering villain in smiles, And at times I am a copy of the Westerners, At others, I am gullible, yet I never am; I pretend to be; but I am miles away, For interesting I am not; so funny at least be, Says my brain; for maybe they will remember, That my birthday was today; It is an endless plea: I always remember and prepare pages of wishes, For almost everyone, but all I get is 4 days late One liners sent out of guilt; to stop the guilty itches, Not out of care, love, or from genuine friendly state; I deserve it; for again; I am merely a boring play; A paradoxical headache of weird introverts, And annoying extroverts; I barely even weigh, To a normal person; I am made of endless alerts; Alerted, focused, attentive; all on your acceptance; I am what I feel you want me to be; a nice man, A racist gangster, a diplomatic figure; I am resemblance, I resemble everything I see in you and scan; I am stardust that was never meant to shine, I am a thread; intertwined as I feel pleases, I am a road with temporary signs; I am grapes; For you I squeeze myself into juice; or ferment Into wine; I am a fake play where you write scripts, I submit, because all I cared about is receiving, A birthday wish. On that one day in the entire year; I do not want even want gifts; because when you don't, I feel like I am ceasing to exist; slowly deceasing from everything that we were: teenagers ambitious, WhatsApp stickers collectors, School runaways, Kids deceiving; it feels like I am dead; for the dead Do not receive birthday wishes; I feel peerless; A white beans *** lidless, a body complete limbless, A walking sickness, a moving flesh in stillness, unpardoned by my faux and obvious silliness. I do not care about not getting birthday wishes; But I cannot not overthink what it means.

All that I am or hope to be I owe to my ANGEL mother… Born as a child in this world.. But brought up by a divine fairy as if in paradise.. I’LL REMEMBER.. Greeted, loved, blessed, praised n cherished all in one sway.. The blessful hands on my forehead.. I’LL REMEMBER.. Scoffed, scolded, sometimes thrashed but then instantly forgiven.. That love.. I’LL REMEMBER.. The moderating essence of love and care.. Fulfilling all our yearns n neglecting her’s but still always a pretty smile.. I’LL REMEMBER.. Beginning with alphabets, stories, proses and now counseling afflictions of life.. All that persuades.. I’LL REMEMBER.. Your sacrifices, your devotion, your calmness, your essence.. Your love.. I’LL REMEMBER.. I wish every mother was like mines.. So my luck.. I’LL REMEMBER.. In this world everyone can betray but mother being the only exception.. I’LL REMEMBER.. Your divine countenance, your peerless smile, your adoring eyes.. Lovely u.. I’LL REMEMBER.. Love u mumma.. Thanks for giving life to me first and then becoming MINES…

Thou needest not be told that chamber Labour will sap more energy than office Work off thee: brawn for brain; --it is Like climbing Mt. Everest in winter. Peerless joy thou awaitest at the summit When you come in thy summery suit.

Teasing My Buddy: Chamber Labour
When the intelligent design was sizzling and shining in the soul, and the rest were still in deep mute yet one was playing the lute! Paradise saw me, to her I drew and tweet “So beautiful are you.” Pronto, the heaven turned around, as if the first light after the eternal night hovers on her lips like she then spoke. Hissed to me, “without prejudice am I by design the enduring showpiece. So ask me what's indeed the beauty is.” Without blowing a horn or waxing lyrical I say: Didn’t it blur before you, that a magic snap? The first reflection of the feminine form on your golden spiral smoothed out water, because she breathed on it, on the spot. Up till now did you view this intact mirror? Only one drop, keeping tight into the core with a shadow of the reflection within doled out. Instantly croons in and danced through every river across your one hundred layers. You are still painting on, go on take your time! Even the atom from the bottom of the black hole reaches out to the water, the feminine did it first. Peering through the water’s skin she floats with the utmost high-surfaced designs into mirror. Only the primo wonder of the all one peerless God looks on it, there is no veil except the one is her! The Uncreated Word, fluid beyond, finest mellifluent coined the creation, only to loop back to itself far greater. Therein the root the first (pure light) feminine rose, for good ever after blossoming flower!

I crossed you in a battle in a distant land , in the Rising Sun Country. I was ordered in a new Code of Bushido in a new mission of injustice. I followed your steps courageously with an unconditional willingness. I heard the lament of my people whispering with pain how long will be tormented….. A Death Fog Veil covered the human souls my breath was iced. A brave fighter came to me was the Last Samurai I have ever seen…. I was dazzled by his power. His sword blazed like a fire, sharp as a steel. Master I yelled show me the way, to defend my people to give my life, if this is written to my destiny path. Teach me the Rules. Teach me the Code of Honor. To protect the Law. To respect my Opponents. Obedience and Discipline will be my heavy duty. He embraced me, with a peerless wisdom a breezy air, blew off my lungs and he told me silently. The warriors’ road is long and never ends Be Brave my Son! I kept his last words as a Promise. ©By Mina Boulekou

i have survived storms. i have survived a father's voice like thunder; handprint lightning flowers petal over my skin like i am a garden to sinners- adam and eve call my grassroots their home and hum lullabies- i have survived anger. pros and cons of clock-ticking therapy sessions where money is thrown at my gaze, fixed on the wall, dollar-a-second drumming fingers screaming so loud that heaven shuts the blinds and hangs a "closed" sign on the door. pros and cons of stumbling home, under a murky peerless crowd of smoke, slurring words trail around and behind me like moths to a porchlight. morning headaches, angry adults damaging drywall and breaking family portraits exhausting search for answers exhausting search in a silence that lengthens the disconnect from child to mother where your mind goes red and the honest truth that stays stuck to the roof of your mouth falls out where you become an overflowing mailbox and your hands shake the absence of parents who never taught you to hold your tongue i have survived hurt. i have survived the specific type of loss that you feel in the pit of your stomach the one that lies next to you when you stare at the ceiling and your face hurts from crying tears scrub your eyelids raw and you promise, "if i ever make it through this, i will never be here again." i have survived giving up, taking it all back, throwing it all away, parallel structures of contemplation and decision i have survived lonely. angry storms of abandonment, melodies of the lonely and the hurt i reprise to the ones that add injury to insult, you are not the worst thing that has ever happened to me. i echo choruses to the people that force me to grow up at sixteen i have destruction embedded into my neurotransmitters i have shooting post-traumatic pain in my memories i have survived a hell that your hands are not stained enough to touch. i assure you, my love, i will survive you as well

Where contemplation finds her sacred spring, Where heav’nly music makes the arches ring, Where virtue reigns unsully’d and divine, Where wisdom thron’d, and all the graces shine, There sits thy spouse amidst the radiant throng, While praise eternal warbles from her tongue; There choirs angelic shout her welcome round, With perfect bliss, and peerless glory crown’d. While thy dear mate, to flesh no more confin’d, Exults a blest, an heav n-ascended mind, Say in thy breast shall floods of sorrow rise? Say shall its torrents overwhelm thine eyes? Amid the seats of heav’n a place is free, And angels open their bright ranks for thee; For thee they wait, and with expectant eye Thy spouse leans downward from th’ empyreal sky: “O come away,” her longing spirit cries, “And share with me the raptures of the skies. “Our bliss divine to mortals is unknown; “Immortal life and glory are our own. “There too may the dear pledges of our love “Arrive, and taste with us the joys above; “Attune the harp to more than mortal lays, “And join with us the tribute of their praise “To him, who dy’d stern justice to stone, “And make eternal glory all our own. “He in his death slew ours, and, as he rose, “He crush’d the dire dominion of our foes; “Vain were their hopes to put the God to flight, “Chain us to hell, and bar the gates of light.” She spoke, and turn’d from mortal scenes her eyes, Which beam’d celestial radiance o’er the skies. Then thou dear man, no more with grief retire, Let grief no longer damp devotion’s fire, But rise sublime, to equal bliss aspire, Thy sighs no more be wafted by the wind, No more complain, but be to heav’n resign’d ’Twas thine t’ unfold the oracles divine, To sooth our woes the task was also thine; Now sorrow is incumbent on thy heart, Permit the muse a cordial to impart; Who can to thee their tend’rest aid refuse? To dry thy tears how longs the heav’nly muse!

You’re so wonderful, you make me hate myself. You’re so delightful, you make me cringe and groan. You’re so marvelous, you make me furious. You’re so generous, you make me want to die. I see your smiling face, and frown. I hear your kindly voice, and cry. I touch your perfect skin, and sigh. I watch your refined mien, and retch. I think myself a good person, A Decent, Hard-Working fellow. But whenever I see you, I only think of myself akin to a wretched rat. Fit to fight for bits of trash in a rotten dumpster, And Nothing more. Why must you be so excellent? Why must you be so lovely? Why must your light shine like diamonds? Why must my heart be clouded with darkness? And why must you make me feel so ugly inside? It’s not your fault, not at all. But you do this to me, you know. You tear me to bits, doing nothing at all. Part of me wishes to love you, head to toe. The other wants to hate your guts, all and all. I know not what to do about you. If there is anything to do. Should I bare my heart, and tell-all? Or should I hold it inside, and grin through clenched teeth? I can’t say. But I do know this one fact. You are the essence of peerless perfection, and that is why I will never be as good as you, no matter how I try. And so I am left to do little but burn inside your light.

You're So Wonderful, You Make Me Hate Myself
It was past 10 pm Indian Standard Time And the score was Two O Five Klusener was the launcher Donald was the Duck Hansie had the fancy That he will lift the cup Seconds ticking One, two, three, four, five… Damien Fleming’s the bowler And he’s known as a troller Windies was the victim Eight years ago Steve Waugh! The man who made Gibbs drop the cup Stood there Like a commander Klusener like a slaughterer Yorker’s the marker To stop the nine runs needed From the Klusener blade NOW THE LAST OVER ONE went for a four TWO went for a four Tensions flared up We are on the proverbial Edge-of-the-seat Steve stood there No expression on his face Hansie's in the pavilion Like a warrior king THE THIRD BALL Damien's running like he do Yes, bang on target Klusener's couldn't get it off Like the way in his earlier knocks off One run needed in three Just a recap again Final over last pair together nine to get in six ***** player of the tournament on strike Successive fours from Lance Klusener and it was one from four ***** Then came the comedy for South Africa uniquely in the game's annals the tragedy of a tie. Moments before it Steve Waugh was As cold as an Iceberg To the Titanic of South Africa (To be continued in next part)

Epic Waughage - I (Collaboration with the peerless Elizabeth Squires)
Not often it is Easy to erase your memories Zombies they are... Yes Attack at weaker times to make you go into A cocoon of thoughts Of your past days Reeling in nostalgia It's sad, it's bad. Huh? ************************* yet our memories serve as a stark reminder of the here and now our minds do strengthen with the ken we've obtained through adverse times whereby we can shape a fine weather path ahead for our future days

Memories - A Collaboration with the peerless Elizabeth Squires
Peerless profundities profusely proffered,                                    Produce prolapse and propensities pro-fluent, Presumption presides, practitioners pilfer,                                    Perception perfunctory, penance penurious.

One For The File
It is a fearful night; a feeble glare Streams from the sick moon in the o'erclouded sky; The ridgy billows, with a mighty cry, Rush on the foamy beaches wild and bare; No bark the madness of the waves will dare; The sailors sleep; the winds are loud and high; Ah, peerless Laura! for whose love I die, Who gazes on thy smiles while I despair? As thus, in bitterness of heart, I cried, I turned, and saw my Laura, kind and bright, A messenger of gladness, at my side: To my poor bark she sprang with footstep light, And as we furrowed Tago's heaving tide, I never saw so beautiful a night.

Sonnet (From The Portuguese Of Semedo)
Have I lost my way been tossed astray depraved and often caught in shame I am Phi Kenzie suspend all your envy I’m plenty unfriendly and tense up when sensing The touch of another to shutters and covers and run for the river, ride rough with the rudder Flown under the radar I hoped it would stay dark but no, it’s the day and it breaks the equator I could go on about my fears they won’t disappear peerless endearment from people jeering for years Eerie queries in tears near and dear to mine own ears rearing iridescent essence empirically in spirit Hear it speared into the ether reverberating meter ceaselessly tinker on the readers need to reach eureka neater

Who am I
*Drive a Porsche Nine- Eleven, Wear the Gucci Horse-bit gold ? Take you back to Seventh Heaven ? Style locked in Gimlet mould. Oyster Bay’s crisp apple bite Quaffed in slender crystal flute, Cartier peeps from the cuff Of silken shirt in peerless suit. Bircher bowls of oaten crepes At Harbour-side in golden dusk, A prelude to a moonlit cruise With chiffoned girl in **** musk. Pink mansion perched at high cliff edge Standing over Half Moon Bay Where poker’s stratospheric stakes Depicts that only Players play. Cash cascades with no restraint For gleaming ninety carat stone, Adorning ladies on your arm Who just, will not leave you alone. You wear your Porsche Nine- Eleven, Drive your Gucci Horse-bit gold, Wrap yourself in Seventh Heaven.... Consumated Gimlet hold.* M. Sky Tower Casino Auckland 1 November 2014
