verses to remember


Many a dusty wind blew my way
To cover my white linen
Many my tear drop and itching, its passing

My sobbing, my sighing, so many
This never saw light of day
To leave effects unbearable today

In this memory distorted
In a smile my face will hide
A happy man for others, that I am

Indeed the good which therein lies
Scenes to reform my life
These fruits, soon alive to bloom

Fast my response will be
To close my eyes if another is fleeting
This lingering effect on me to reduce

Thus the legacy which it left
Along my drains so full it filled
Allowing not any to flow, freely at all times

A life satiated with blowing storms
A life bursting of collected deposits of impasse
A more affluent life to lead till the end of time

Weep but a little, oh worms in the sand
Leave your mind alert in all
To strike when it is hot

Lest, the bulk you’ll lose
Step at a time, at your pace
You must take, in all haste

Listen, lest you might miss another
Listen, not when down it weighs
Listen! That way, it lies ahead

Sound it on the roof top
Search it even on the path
Set it free, your lips, for the approaching ear

Be patient if it delays
Be perseverant in your wait
Anything is possible, even the little, regard it

It would not be like the world
What has been seen, heard, or done
But soon will be, go- man- go


On on you must go
On on it will go
On on to soon follow

Forget them not, especially her
Whose feet you often heard at your side
Should you be there and you hear no more

Forget not too, what came out
When your lips embraced their ear
Else like thorns in your flesh, your journey through

Like seeds scattered in a planted field
The crow high in the sky will search and dig
His search, try always to escape

Together they may dig and cover with earth
Their seed, their strength no more needed
When the sky, its gentle arrows descend

Each according to his strength
Each according to the soil, germinates
To taste sweet or bitter, its fruits

When the chickens finally come home to roost
May you be guiltless in their hoot
For the day is weary and darkness flaps its wings across the sky

Surely will return like a dog searching a prey
Will not forget its master’s door post
If even for years gone, to embrace

Fast about all, you could lie
Free in your mind, you would not hide
From reality weighing down on your neckline

laugh not at me


Laugh not at me
If u lie within the carved
And under mounted branches
Seeping falling rain
Running

flapping and flapping


As they lie down to flap and flap
Face to face, white and black
Their light dims and shines

White will fly through the green
Not knowing what more to settle on
Saturated by their pleasant sight
Of their petals
Dazed by a gentle irresistible suck of their sap
Flapping in the air they will flap

Not waving, else their heart will break 
Soon to see other butterflies
Landing on what has been restored

what i have for her


What I have for her
He has too if not more.
Look at my hands
Like what you left
The last time I hugged you.
Seeing those twinkling eyes
Entering speedily into their roots

Not like when you left
Only some few months passed
Only some hours away
Has indeed turned you away

" THE DRAEM ONE HAD"




One had the dream
Few were we in search this path
This light of the mind from afar.

In the mind of one
In the lips of few
In the ears of many
They gathered to hear
Surrounded to grow 
Taller, than the elephant grasses 

By your mercies oh gentle greens
Their dangling doubt 
Have you exposed;
Through your rewarding rays
As the dusty winds soak up their tears.

We climbed the mounts
We descended the vales
And trees, on top we lay.

Our bodies tired and worn out
Yet did we not diminish 
Our number; and
Our thirst and hunger 
Felt we no more.

Under this beam 
They cast their minds back:
Afar where the eyes cannot reach.

We are together again
Here we are to gain

It has been long a path;
A meandering, rugged and dusty path.

We walked not with legs
But a talk
We walked not with their talk
But the talk

We are together again 
We are together at last
To walk the talk.
