The Dowry
When will you pay my dowry?”
That was more of mumbling than a statement. She leaned on her right arm, eased her muscles, allowed the remonstrating blood rippled through the yenning veins.
Her husband posed opposite the berth she was Lain. That question should definitely prod an answer from him, but he wouldn’t proffer a riposte so soon. Many incentives were knotted at the tail of his holding back: She twiddling to face him tossed an insinuation with resplendent implications: the idea of she-would-say-more caveated his glottis from percolating.
“Dede is done saying this...

The Eclipse
The Eclipse*
lurched element assumed darkness
cherubic glow tainting the moon
heaven's eyes sans brightness
a crusade of void, draped gloom
august visitor dantiily clad
torpedic metamorphoses projects
tumultuous taunting tilled tad
birthed by the traverse thrills
twin of nature
quadratic epilepsy
dripping punctures
in the drafting lambency
A proximity.
success in the
cloud of politics
is a lurching

Celibacy
crispy emotions smogged sans thoughts
dripped solutions damping draws
on the innocence of the naked ape
bathed her in flaws, flap-doodles create.
A stride.
Moistened feet pasted
prints on fractured lips
on the terrane tried
corruption of texture
deflowering structure
yet she celebrates celibacy
turning suitors down;
"I'm a virgin"
her chant, her song
forgetting the sexual congress
colonialism had held with her in her bed.

Teachers
Dedicated to all teachers in the world, inclusion of lecturers, professors et al
T rained to train
E mbellished wits shelled in distinction
A lpha of acumen, Omega of brains
C onfetti of efforts contract into a porringer
H oisted hood, encompassing passion
E lectrifying zeal melt into čclat
R unners up tarring the trail of education
S aviors of persons ridden in faux pas.

The Trios
Lofty crafts of sensational creations,
Oily traits dripping affections
Vulnerable hearts somersaulting
Evisaging allusive hyperbole.
Damped dance, complex steps
Elating destruction with a breath
Acreage littered with confetti of gloom
Tainted trails, dainty doom
Hood hoisted, deep-six in hell.
Track embroidered with bramble brier
Innuendos of choices chunk at men
Mid-way mediator of the turbulent twain
End of love, beginning of death.

In Depend Ends
On the eve of the new call,
wits mated with passion,
zeal donated by conception,
hypersensitive pulls attracted all,
contracts into a horrendous span
as independence made for the span.
But after those,
the cry was severed by greed
seasoned by ills inflected by politics,
as all patriots the new trend follow.
By and by: a swap
as the intended assumed claptrap.
The 1960 independence,
in depend ends.

Wise Fool
There is a folk I know
quite too well,
he does not refund when he owe,
at least that's how well I can tell.
Then came a day
stars littered in the sky,
he left the house again,
to in the same sin ply.
He's such a torn
in the feeble flesh,
and a cowries headed horn
seeped in the quintessence.
But on his way
he met a flaw:
a bus collided with him,
and his consciousness took a walk.
Ribs carved, bones twisted,
joints squat, veins stooped,
mitigating blood clutched...

Such Is Life
Such Is Life
I was thinking
I was going
to squat
bother the tree
tame its leaves
pluck the fruit
and manage the veins nature drew.
He was thinking
he was going
to jump
appease the tree
incite its leaves
convince the fruit
and devour the veins nature drew.
Such is live.

Melody
It started on D - flat,
succulent & succinct
soft & rhythmic
loaning hearts pats.
the wail of the piano
caressing the voices' glissando
riffs tampered with the tune,
notes trailing tracks of crest,
demisemiquaver pruned
by the demigod crochet:
parts of belts
accompanying baritone,
baroque & tormenting bass
nursing decrescendo,
an atlas
And then clef,
embellishing the melody,
encore spill the best,
swift fortemente
Hearts lured,

Xenophobia
Xenophobia
Fear seethed in reluctance,
Rinsed in the stream of laziness,
Conception donating annoyance,
Aggression and guts embroidered with thoughtlessness.
Offspring set for war,
Migrants to fall by his sword.
Vice versa, the crescendo swings,
As revenge inflects its melody.
Wails seconded by wrath,
Atmosphere littered with emotions,
Confetti of joy by cowardice drawn,
Contracts into a span, then destruction.
If fear is love and choice, zeal.
War'll be peace, and xenophobia,...

Scared Twigs Twisted
Like smithereens in cahoots,
Tensed flames swept and did brood.
Leaves strange stood
Legs curled - proper nude.
Skin sore of whips
Traced on veins by the fire's teeth.
Root rustic rhyme,
Though irregular, the branches would comply.
Tilting crack-dance,
The earth received the soothing lance.
Imprisoned in ditto jive,
Oaks, Figs, gave tries.
And the fire lick and slew,
The libido of the jungle
Clouds in lofty peace,
The malady did see.
The sun swift in pity,
Whipped the...

Melting like foams massaged
By the eye of the heaven,
Hung heart drifts into lack.
