Verse 7
(To those misusing Control)
7.1 Black pony
to the left
of life’s fence:
your tail swings
disturbing air’s rest
as plant is
separated from leaf’s
unjust prosecution
by pony’s
grinding jaw
crushing natures
stem as your
hooves strode away
in oblivion of what
it could profit
had pony
in stead
swung it’s tail
On the right side
of the fence.

Verse 9
( To the caged bird who sings )
9.1 What shall
It profit
man who
sings with
all his might
but sings not
for right.
9.2 Yes, their
petals shall;
bloom during
sun’s rise
and
rain’s fall…
witness adamant
soil Disobey
Winds Call.
9.3 But what then
shall be man’s fate;
When knights fall
during the day
and,
clouds laugh
in stead of cry
As wind molests
Soil’s spawn…
9.4 For what reason
shall man then
find to sing?

Adventitious Love
(Dear Oma… III)
Without sun’s light,
Rainfall or visible
Irrigation source…
How you grow,
I do not know.
Your nodes extend
Over deserts dried:
Across Nutrient less
concrete mesh…
…Finding Victual
Outside sun’s light,
Rainfall or, visible
Irrigation source…
Your roots dig
thirsty fields deep:
Seeking out
Cupids treats,
Leached past
compacts squeeze…
…Obtaining sustainance
Outside sun’s light,
Rainfall or, visible
Irrigation source…
How you grow,
Even in the warmth of snow…
Adventitious Love,
I do not know.

Verse 6
( Acknowledging Destiny )
Rocky mountains;
Beautiful are your curves,
All your turns.
Sometimes I reach out,
With only none catching on,
But Pacified I remain,
by beauties in your twist.
For if they were lost;
I would be not a climber,
but a walker.
You might be rocky,
but a lane
With all being able
to have come this way.

Verse 8
( Acknowledging Providence )
8.1 You only
doubt providence
the moment
before her
truth appears…
8.2 Voices in
constant whispers
at frequencies
first unclear.
8.3 Bidding on
behalf Of
refuge promised
ahead…
before her
truth appears!

Dark Beauty
( To Mother Nature )
And so
Is her
Depth of heart:
As an
Abyss where
All infinity
Could learn.
Cast! But
Still Her
Shadows creep:
Taking stock
Of plants
Not Reckoned
to Wilt.
She continues
To fend:
Living off
Infertile portions,
Where sun’s
Light found
No rest…
Awoken by
A knock
against the door:
I approached
The handle,
Lending light
From a candle.
” Who is it? ”
A voice in
my head
Must have
called.
” It is she;
Who your light
Shines because! ”
The Emptiness
Behind the
Door replied.

Left Out
Thought comes
And, so it begins:
heart against mind,
Battling for might.
Employing No skill
Of mine.
Neigh!
Only that
Offered by sight.
So I too
May gaze upon
The foolishness
Of ‘I’ fighting ‘I’
Thoughts flow,
so they continue:
Heart tugs,
Mind pulls.
Relentless in
their push
driving the other
Closer to woe.
Thought drops,
pushing me out:
Scurrying mind.
Shoving heart.
In their battle
To be crowned
By endeavour,
Bare me no say.
So still I lay;
With blood,
But not veins.
With mind,
But not reason.
With heart,
But not Rhythm.
So still I lay.
Present!
But left out.
Wishing I, myself,
Could offer him
some help.

Thus Far
The sun shines,
Then it doesn’t,
Then it does again.
Night falls,
Morning comes,
For chance sake,
Aiding nights
Creep up again.
What a waste!
Awful cycle,
Looking backward
Walking forward.
“Life’s tough”
No it’s not.
“Love’s a breeze”
Boy you’re nuts!
Whatever circumstance,
A flip side exists.
Don’t be the victim,
Of single’s story.
It all makes sense;
When it ends,
When you’re not here,
To tell the hell.
We’ll all remember,
Though we forget,
How life questioned
And, love mysteried.
Thus,
Some live:
As though they
Would never die.
Whilst,
Others live:
As though
When they die,
Records will lie
They had ever lived.

A star was born
It shined the brightest
That Star was a Man!

“An aphrodisiac born from a pool of creativity, it is the writers unacknowledged synonym”
If only I had a Pen made of Leaves
I would prefer the Prototype
The same that told us the tales of a Poet named Solomon
The same that told us of the Psalmist DavidOtaru Andrew Omeiza…
I call you Epic!
Your Poetic light shined from afar
Just like the 3 wise men
I followed that bright light…
It Led me straight to You!I admire your Passion for Poetry My Friend

Distinctively Unique
Creatively Creative
