When silence speaks,
it tells a tale;
of greives,
of pains,
...

A rare wave
stormed through the deep,
a raving crave
aimed at the heart,
...

Those things i did effortlessly,
those smiles i gave without recourse,
those moments of exfoliating warmth,
rolled back in time, like a thunderbolt
...

Woman

O woman!
In thee beauty hatched,
...

Life says...
do not wait for the sun to shine;
but
learn to live without its' warmth.
...

Sometimes at night
when the lights are out,
when the flickerings of the lantern fades;
i hear a soft and a stealthy sob,
...

A plague is feasting in town,
The dust has settled on its brim
In everyhome and on folks alike;
They rot away without a stench
...

Today is battered,
bound in fears and filled with griefs;
today is smitten,
bruised within and burried in pains,
...

Am coming out now;
Out of the box,
Your confine.
Where lower than the dust i lie
...

Warm is the way i smile
when i embrace the night,
high is the way i soar
when the sky is all mine;
...

A storm had broken over our heads
Rains like giant tears upon our windows
As the grumbling thunder strikes
A monstrous night that smashed our dreams
...

Once, a rose
laid in thorns,
sprouted into spine,
plauged with prickles;
...

Farewell Daisy
You who filled my eyes with tears,
Farewell Daisy
You who betrayed my soul;
...

My plea is for forgiveness
My heart is broken into a million little pieces
I have crossed the limits; and
Until now,
...

I came to time
And found it
A faithful host
Of an imperial breed
...

'Am drawn in depth to solitude,
a time i share in the multitude of silence;
when struggles and strives abound,
a perfect moment to reach within;
...

See how the leaves has
fallen apart like strangers,
See how the birds are scattered
abroad as foes;
...

It pains the mistress to be a decoy,
but she is baited by greed
and blinded with vanity;
she is enraged at her lot,
...

This time our predictions
Had failed us,
Deep emotions were revealed
In our blank faces,
...

Palm oil and cowries,
Three pieces of bean cakes
At three cross roads;
Naked dances in the market place
...
