Akujuobi Chijioke

O desperate ants
What wisdom finds you?
You dwellers of the seas
How the horses bleeds for you...
...

The sweetness of my fingers on its strings creates
relics of fairytales;
Mermaids with dragon fiery wings, a prince & a gypsy
diving in a passionate sail;
...

A response to an unending need,
Has he come to wipe the strain of the evil seed?
Or a mere picture of a broken piece?
A clamour sung from the bowels of the sea...
...

False prophets!

Coating their words with honey,
But inside is filled with the carcasses of vultures;
They bath with the blood of the holy ones,
...

I sat to see
The beauty in me;
As the colours of reason
Set sail in waterless seas.
...

Please don't say it.
Don't say you don't love me,
That my heart melt not
That it not spill like drains of sorrow.
...

On the base of a solemn suit
Lay the basket of unripened glory;
Barricaded with gallons of deceitful insight
That startle the gods with an unending story.
...

Queued under a waterless bridge
Filed up in mobile cottages
Rows upon rows of trails;
Seeking liquidized energy.
...

How would you feel
If you knew
I still think of you?
Will you gladly smile at will
...

I'll praise you, highly exalted One
Beneath the covers of deep treasures,
Is where your presence resides,
Above the vast mediterranean you issue forth your utterances.
...

A tale of hearts I wish to tell;
How a soul precious from glory fell.
The pride of her home, the voice of the grounds;
She strode on paths where hell abounds.
...

A virtuous woman,
The longing of every man;
How comely her ways are
Her pulse resonates the lustre of stars.
...

If you think you have the strenght of a thousand Lords,
And a thousand peasants at your beck and call;
If you think you're able to stand on top of the world,
Remember, Pride comes before a fall.
...

Never I behold my eyes such wonder
The earth quakes her presence like lightenings & thunders;
Bind your mind & enslave your heart be her duty
Surrender you must to the foreign beauty.
...

Stereotyped killings marshalled for the lost,
Belief in the myth destined to a cause.
Why apologize for the wrongs of sinister minds?
While betrayal is fed with stomachs of different kinds.
...

Life ain't worth living
'Less you have something to die for;
So rise and do you billing
Before the sky night falls.
...

One more year has passed
That your presence elapsed,
One more time in every way
We still miss you everyday.
...

Oh that look, I know that look when I see one

Its the look of pity, pain and denial
...

There goes the object of their muse
Moving with a sepulchral flair,
Teasing and assuming allure
As her patrons seek pursuit.
...

In bits and shattered spirit
A rambling petal was found
On the ledge of a loose foyer
Her bleeding temple was crowned.
...
