The Bug That Fell In Love With The Flower
I never expected it to rain that day because the sun was so bright and hot. Everything had a yellow glow according to the sunlight.
Fashionably hot I flew to a spot under a leaf; shapes like a mosquito swat. It suddenly started to rain and the memories came striking like lightning.
My shelter was complete. I stayed until the rain was done but by then it was night and I was stranded under a wet leaf.
The green sepals towered over me. Each motion tilts them to my fear of me falling off the leaf. It was dark and even after the rain, it was hellishly hot.
...

Tepid Dreams
Is it the dust?
Is it the cold?
Is it the scorching sun?
Did the elements hold a combined session
To rob me of my soul?
I once knew a man who dreamt of touching the sun
And having a feast with celestial biengs.
Youthful,
Fiery,
Bright.
Now when I close my eyes
All I see are bills,
Unpaid taxes,
Unresolved crisis...
Where is the cradle of zeal,
That I may drink.
All I have are tepid thoughts.
Can I dare to dream again?
Is it the cold?
Is it the scorching sun?
Did the elements hold a combined session
To rob me of my soul?
I once knew a man who dreamt of touching the sun
And having a feast with celestial biengs.
Youthful,
Fiery,
Bright.
Now when I close my eyes
All I see are bills,
Unpaid taxes,
Unresolved crisis...
Where is the cradle of zeal,
That I may drink.
All I have are tepid thoughts.
Can I dare to dream again?

The longest way home
Galloping rumbling in my head
Racing horses for some bread
Racing horses end up dead
Oh I remember vividly this I know
Sitting at the track as money flow
Every dollar made my face glow
Flight was her name
she ran faster then light
Stumble to the floor and lost her life
All the money went down the drain
Things from their ain't
never been the same
Daddy arguing with some men
Said one day they'll be back again
All i know is we was
Running for our lives
late one night
And Him laughing saying ...
Racing horses for some bread
Racing horses end up dead
Oh I remember vividly this I know
Sitting at the track as money flow
Every dollar made my face glow
Flight was her name
she ran faster then light
Stumble to the floor and lost her life
All the money went down the drain
Things from their ain't
never been the same
Daddy arguing with some men
Said one day they'll be back again
All i know is we was
Running for our lives
late one night
And Him laughing saying ...

Ig
Two battles, one war,
No one, won war,
Yet one felt more defeat,
While the other felt less complete,
As if one was a puzzle missing a piece,
Sense of incomplete, since war incomplete,
Boiled red wine traces dirt,
Right before it enters bodies,
Speak of tension so strong,
Yet two different dimensions,
Two different worlds,
Neither world has and shall never collide,
Yet this battle and that battle, makes up this war,
Let’s explore the sides....
Truth is... I am the war, these battles are mine, I fight alone, my...

Alien love
Searching for ......
Possibilities.
From unknown realms.
A distant cry.
Cracking in its loneliness.
Reaching hands.
Longing to hold you.
Faceless creation.
An entity invading.
Touching nerves.
Calling.
Always needing.
Desperate to break through.
Fascination building.
Crossing over.
Feeding greedily.
Consuming identity.
Infecting each pore.
More and more.
Your eyes sink.
This love is overwhelming.
Hand in hand.
Skin upon skin.
A wondrous touch. ...

Cupid's Godmother-in-law to the Rescue
Stupid Cupid!
He's good for some things
Good breeding pairs
...namely
We have Wisdom
to thank
and all her
bestie-anglic naysayers
for keeping
silly Love on track
Poor thing, though
she often recommends
final action
When none will be had!

The Pre-existence of My Love
I pre-existed in an incredibly remote place outside the universe,
Love was with me, and I was an element of love.
The heavenly realm witnessed the pre-existence of my love.
My love lived on in a state of inertia for aeons
And it was seemingly the only one of its kind,
But I was devoid of pleasure and I knew there was something missing.
It was not the nature of my love to continue alone.
I searched the peripheries of infinity for the other element of love.
I bowed down before the Most High at the portals of heaven,
But the forbidden love I...

Magnu Killing Ships
Break loose the locks let them fill
still we have time, mighty Magnu ships
slip from ancient chains, the opening
heard deep beneath the ocean crust
trusting the oracles, the planets connect.
“Subjects, strangers, weep for your dead
we travel to tread your shores once more”.
The vortex is running, planet pathways
sway on the brink of mobilisation,
nations prepare minimum defences,
as the first caged banshee senses
her sisters presence and cry’s.
Dry dock chains slowly groan free
vessel thunders down a spiral portal.

My Mechanical Heart
I think it was circa eighteen forty something,
When I woke up from the operating table,
The good doctor told me “Congratulations!
Now you can do anything if you’re willing and able.”
I gazed around the operating room,
Which looked like a watch maker’s workstation,
I thought the man was more of a mad scientist,
A nihilist when he told me I was his latest creation.
“I’ve given you something special” he said,
“You can have a long, long life if you desire,
You are unique in many ways but don’t forget,
To wind your gears...

Through the Wormhole
and out on the other side the ship came out,
Relampago’s controls steadied and stabilized,
“Status report” the captain asked from the chair,
And that was the moment when we all realized…
We were the first vessel about to travel through time,
Via a wormhole found in Andromeda’s spiral galaxy,
And as we came closer and closer to the coordinates,
We understood our journey was beyond any fantasy.
Suddenly we felt the pull through the dark of space,
We picked up momentum the lights began to stretch,
All the controls on the bridge began...
Relampago’s controls steadied and stabilized,

The Rihanna Dilemma
Sia wrote her into the sky
with bright diamonds....
She fell so hard
It was meteor
showers of
ecstasy...
Love
hit
it.
So she discovered
how unprepared
she actually was
She had to decide
if Love would get
a shallow grave
or a fair trial and
a nice tombstone
I wonder, was it really
a clever imposter? ...

She Said What?
He's protecting me, us
he's not keeping out solutions
It's my fault... I know what I said
I should know his triggers
He got mad when I said
thank you for being patient
Because he was playing chicken
with his soul
He said "I don't know how to love"
I don't know how he would do it better
with someone so hard to love
as me
His plans never come together
because of me
He never eats what he wants
when he wants
Wakes up to kids rotating all over
noisy, hair...
he's not keeping out solutions
It's my fault... I know what I said
