Rex-mayor Ubini

As the sky drew her cottons against my eyes
I slumbered on the arms of time
Lost in a blue space of yester-years
Days of my late great grannies
...

What a screaming silence,
And the echoes of its ambience,
Claiming this space with cold air,
Oh, I see, a virtue has gone out here,
...

Under this singing sky
Smoked with balloons
The butterflies of our hearts soar
Floating on the stream of the wind
...

The sky's bleaching paste is used up,
Skin swooped by Melanocytes
Dilatorily dropping out of sight
Into the deficiency of light,
...

Eh! Eh! Eh! Eh!
My eyes have heard,
That which my ears could not hear,
My ears have seen,
...

A night forcing his will
On the way of a redressing day
Quickened my eyes to see
A particular planet aloof my way
...

Just on the pulse of your return
My heart again is torn
Pass me by til morrow
My eyes be blind your shadow
...

Is about ten thousand,
And nine hundred and fifty eight days!
Since I alighted from a vacuum darker than the coons,
Shielded from the eyes of passing moons,
...

Tufiakwa! Tufiakwa! !
Let the cloud bathe you with an old woman's saliva
A curse you find no pillow of peace
Under this distant canopy
...

The beckoning face of flowers
Last with morning bloom
Sooner night falls it withers
And shrink into shying gloom
...

Imagination once gave me a seer's eye
To see over my unborn years,
And I saw from decades of miles,
A toothless woman from Akwa Ibom.
...

A day hued with red and white
Birth the world a light
That shineth through night
And darkness stand not to fight
...

The canoe of desire
When not godly paddled
On the stream of emotions
It drowns
...

There is a place,
Not far from where you are,
Where one is found by grace,
Amidst divine stars.
...

I love the sun
I love the sun
Because the sun would never frown
Smile is her very crown
...

How long, how long,
Shall last this cold wedlock with loneliness,
Who daily caresses you with smoky hands
That dares to freeze you,
...

I bless the spirit
The wind whose back we sit
Travelling through this planet
Where now dwell
...

My heart I bare before your eyes
Now you sing within your mind
I have seen the fool in him
From your dance I heard the rhythm
...

Sadness has found her brow
A free ground to cast its shadow
Her teeth now crouch its bloom
Behind her mouth's gloom
...

My inner eyes can see
A star up in the sky
Haunt with crowd of eyes
On their lips its name resides
...
