TITANIC DEEP

If you are a submarine,
She said,
Dive into my sea and see
Confined undefined spaces of my being
Take a tour so adventure deep
Perhaps a way to your eternal sleep
I promise not to weep as you hit,
Titanic depths my breaths I'll take
In gasps of oxygen scarce don't be scared,
To save me from my misery

Go titanic deep into my ocean of purity
In wet equatorial regions of honey abundant.
In warm equatorial regions of heat abundant
Where sharks and dolphins dwell
Do not ever tell
Of this hell under water oh well

I'm under your spell
Dive deep into my sea
To titanic depths of sweet nectars
Confined spaces heavenly defined
Till I take my last breath
In this oxygen scarce
I'm not scared
If I die this wet.

She Sang To Me A Song With No Words

The sweetest melody I've ever heard
My heart almost bled

To that tranquil serenity calm
Exceeding hierarchies of harmony beyond
I've never felt this irresistibly fond

She sang to me a song with no words
I had almost thought
I'd write this poem with no words
Absence of diction intentional

For you'd understand
The voice in the void
Between my stanzas and verses
As it threatens to escape
This silent noise.

Land of the living dummies
Dummy think he puppet master
Casting shadows, watch it dance and try then he try to copy that.. soldier.. internal conflict.
He caught behind enemy lines..
Slave to his own beliefs, bound by chain of command.. man! bang! ego explosive..
Trynna collect himself, speaking to the preacher,
No peace on the alter..follow his heart, beat the in the dark, bleed into art, breath a sigh of relief as he speak from the pulpit.. elevated, state of mind..
Space travel and time freeze..
sips off the chalice of knowledge now he Thirsty as a palm tree..

Hostile in my own feelings
I feel trapped in a cage
Even if I shared my story with you
You would not feel my pain

Here I am screaming in silence
But I suppose it is all in vain...

"I am food for thought
Force feeding the Youth fruits of my labour
I'll be back in a minute
I promised I'd be greater
I suffer from biophilia hypothesis
I am addicted to nature
I am the emaculate conception of the infiltrated generation
Not the perpetrator"

I Am

Lies disguised as truth, they feed us.
Truth is, nobody knows the truth.

They are the ones that killed our peace,
the ones that took away our people.
We are a nation of confused individuals,
lies are our daily feeds. It is not okay.

They are lies disguised as truth,
our people' held captive by these belligerent,
an escape is impossible. Why is it so hard
to manage this damage? Too late maybe.

The nation has changed, the relation broke.
It's every man for himself.
They've held our men and women captive
and against us. They don't have heart.

A lot they promised to do, a lot they haven't done.
In promises I no longer believe for they
are just qoutes, they can be erased.

We cannot decern the lies nor can we sense
the truth. Who do we go to?
They conceal who they are,
how do we change this drastic situation?

"Hands made out of gold
But plan to destroy
Heart made out of glass
But cuts deeper than a knife
Eyes made out of glitter
But look for dirt"

Africa, my home.
Africa, my soul.
Africa, my mind.
Africa, my body.
Africa, my everything.

Welcome to the mother land.
The same place, streets are dens.
The same place legs walk on sands.
The same place one will both love,
and can’t stand! All at once.
Yes, my Africa, you are beautiful,
but your beauty, can be deceitful.

I dread the day,
My family pass away.
I dread the day,
My children find truth,
in their mother’s roots.
I dread the day,
my time is done.
I dread the day,
no one hears the cries,
of a mother’s tongue.

Yet today, I must declare!
That, while the world remains unfair;
Despite war, Despite poverty.
Despite forever changing government systems.
Despite our ancestors still watching racism.
Despite the rise and fall of every economy.
Despite covid-19 and lack of PPE.
Despite my people hungry.

My people, My Africa;
will still rise, like no one,
has ever seen before!
My people, My Africa.
Will settle the score.

My Africa

An embrace of a warm
Irresistible passionate kiss
A moment of pure natural bliss
What a form of peace

You have been gone for so long
By the fire place every night
I waited hoping you might
Find your way back with your every might

Why did you have to go
I missed you dearly
With every piece of me sincerely
I lost my mind in loneliness nearly

Bless me with your presence now my Lord
Your sweet tender gentle ways
Surf my delicate hidden place
Even if they gaze
This is our phase

Kiss me deep within
To the core of my fragile self
Till my honeypot overflows
Save I kept your precious wealth

Tonight is the night
It might last forever.

The Passionate Kiss
