SHE IS WOMAN


She has seen what the blind can see

She has heard the words of the dump

She has felt the pain of the dead

She has trod where there is no footpath

She has laughed with the sad

She has perceived the odour of water

She is a woman

This is oasis!

This is oasis!
A place of knowledge wrest.
Where we glean vital thoughts from the best.
Sucking off nutrients never seen
Yet in evergreen scene.

This is oasis!
Our Canaan!
We worked,we walked those paths
Dreaded but [...]

Read More This is oasis!

To you and you alone!

Amorous pools sable and deep

Set lightly upon lustrous smile

Thy moonlit skin my heart doth keep

Stow’d away upon distant isle

Evermore to serve thy desire

Thy will my own ‘till I retire

 

An oxymoron, a Metonymy, to part thy lips

The Twinkle In Your Eye

There is a twinkle in your eye girl.

It is making your face shine bright too.

As you strut by working those heels

I have to say there is something so

new and special about you today.

Come close and whisper into my ears.

LESSONS AFTER A LONG NIGHT

The night seemed so long,

Dragging on wearily

Like it were unto eternity.

***

I wake up

To the soft sounds of drizzling raindrops

As they gently caress the dry leaves

Littering the landscape.

Sweet killer

This day is done
The night is gone
Hope for a better day
Seems to be dwindling
In a corrupt nation

THE PHOTOGRAPH

I see walking men in this little Masterpiece

Men moving in drizzling figures of Aliens

Robotic creatures that beats my imagination

All in this Photograph

 

I hear footsteps

Footsteps of men matching on waters

I never knew the sound of waters to be [...]

WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD

The battle is fierce
It yieldeth much tears
For we wrestle not they
Who fall easy when we sway. 

Their blows they rain down
Blood bleaches our gown
But they fight and prevail not
For by his [...]

Where was God?

Where was God?
I wonder…
Where was God before the world began?
Where was God?
Before He came to being?
Did He exist before existence?
Where was God?

Widows of War...

the land is bare, the men have gone to war
silence takes the greeting at the door

time and again in the past some have gone
here on these biers they were borne

so after the gun and the bullet

A Sage's Letter to a Friend

Don’t pray that your enemies live long…
You might not live to discover you were wrong! 

If you live a life full of dreams,
You just might be dreaming when opportunity beams.

Don’t ask to see death’s sting,
Seek the [...]

Me, myself and I.

i am the son of my mother
the child of my father

floating like a ship with no rudder
in in this sea called life
almost under
the waves with which i strife
my face raised to the [...]

Choice

Truth endures everyone’s cause,
Lives and suffers like us…
But neglects our greatest crime,
Our meaning of time.

UNESCAPABLE

why do things stink
why am i left to think
it all looks like life is beginning to shrink
but i still get to wink

THE JOURNEY OF THE UNKNOWN

 

We  are nothing but a  flick

Visitors of this terrestrial ball,

In the twinkling of an eye,

We are puffed out

One day we’ll continue the journey,

Our journey into the unknown

 

Weep not at my grave,

Weep not,

Instead rejoice, rejoice [...]
