Matthias Pantaleon Poems

And they sit on the floor of the shore
The wind tosses soft tides towards them
Some have their legs buried beneath waters
Ankles deep, they smile at everything
...

I see the twist in our path
There is just one shadow in the darkness
I see you standing in the rain
There is nothing more to talk about us
...

Peeping through the window of life
I figured how happy we use to be
As children playing naked in the rain
The pebbles of raindrop does magic to our psychic
...

The innocence of childhood,
The joy of motherhood; the pride of fatherhood,
Consumed in the peace of the night
In one night, death comes to them, naked and unprepared
...

A flawless piece of monument
Radiant like a sparkling white bonnet
She seized the shine for the moment
Soft girlie smile like Aja Monet
...

All the people I see are blind to the reality
All the good in the world, they still can't see
All the evil that's not they still fear shadows
All the fuss about what's not and narrow ends
...

Change is the clarion call, we desire most
The change is here the mask remain the same
Three masquerades with nine heads and one eye
Siege with complexities, blur vision, short sighted
...

The city of dreams
Sparkling aura with awe
Ilu ti ina wa - city of light
Little bubbles of gold in the sun
...

If you wait for me you will meet death alone
Because I will never be caught dying with you
Keep moving, don't look behind your shoulders
There is nothing behind you, but mere shadows
...
