POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Smithereens of acumen contract into a span...
He's My Brother
He fed me with food,
He again passed into me fluid.
I remembered those age,
When ignorance was my cage:
Their was none to confide in,not even a sage.
But he was the one who opened the cage.
When life tossed me beyond
wits and elements of the orb.
When Joy bargained to leave,
He again made it stay. Until it to me stick.
And today is his day,
Even the sun must come out to pray:
The jealous rain must retain his stay,
Till merryment on us lay.
Come join me in his honour,
Let's in us fill all...
He again passed into me fluid.

So I Had This Dream
So i had this dream,
I think it was a dream:
My lonely sole treading
the path of the air,
Through the rolling container.
My feet measuring the path
Of Washington,
dazed by her beauty,startled
by her regalia.
My eyes seduced by the
Beauty of her physiognomy.
The tiled road tensed with glory-
Even with her sister-Michigan.
My heart was elated like
an electrocuted toy who
hopped for joy while betrothed
to the striving electricity.
I closed my eyes for secs,
Open it a bit...

Wants To Float
Here it's even:
The cloud called at me,
Even he spoke to me:
He said 'Joshua,why're you worried'.
I was reluctant letting the
Cat out of the bag.
Then,he weighing my doubt
spelt by my betraying eyeballs
admonished me and bade me
to elate my glottis and seduce
his ear of the matter eating me up.
Then i lent him the truth,
With the intention that he'll give me fruit:
'I gat to leave my country,
Before the death of this month'. Said I.
He chuckled and whipped the dripping
water from his face.

I Love A Black But Needs A White Girl
I love a black woman
For she hails from my clan.
She can cook my meals,
She can speak my tongues,
She's drilled in my culture.
She'll pray through nights for me,
She'll always be there for me.
She bakes a cake and feed her toddlers first.
She erect a strong and make a lifelong nest.
She's economical and preserved.
She is the taste that gives the world fragnance.
But she's never my taste,
For she has never stop being fake.
Here is different weaver from a different tree:
A white woman is a white entity,
Full of...

The Sea
A friend sang my praise,
All these he put in place:
There is(he said), a river
flowing in pride:
The sun taking her on ride.
Smiling always was the river,
As all wishes the sun gives her.
Within the river lurks variant aquatics:
Jellies,Octopus,sharks and wasted mass,light and thick.
There came a boat,measuring her path:
Hunting for the virtues lurking in her.
The owner of the boat threw in his hook,
Ready to withdraw many virtue.
And the river willingly gave out her offspring,
While the boat's owner mercy sing. ...

The Story Of The smashed Eggs
Tilting was the pompous wind,
Wandering in pride,harming all hind.
She arrived under his regalia's-
Even the Wind's clothings brought her nigh.
She said she'll give me heaven and earth;
Even she did price life and death:
'Your heart will be my castle;
Even it'll be to me a sea of turtles'.
And i gave in to her:
Though was afraid of scars.
And after putting all eyes on the train,
She did indisguise hatred on me rain.
Though other ladies had bade me to dwell in their thickets:

To The One Who Raised My Arms
Being the giver of my life:
Jolting me away from strife.
Loaning me to joyfulness
Graced with love and happiness.
The hunting wolves measuring the depth
Of the promiscuous earth:
You tossed me above their claws,
Raising me beyond all flaws.
Even when the leopard figured my brights:
Even when i was wrought in its sight.
It intended to make me and destruction bethrot.
But dashed apart was it like cedar by his wrath.
Under his wing my shelter be:
Even like the mother hen's:Little mild chicks. ...

Mel
I saw a big grin,
Moistured with mild and clean.
Full of bewitching traits,
DOING all pleasantries create.
A smile glazed with honey,
Catching my attention than money.
Biding me to accompany it,
To the world of open teeth.
Mild eyes with : Humble's avenue.
Maybe later i'll continue...

My Thoughts
My thoughts was that
She'll wait.
But she crept away with
my emotions.
She'd arrived like a lamb-
Even wolves in lamb's clothing.
She feed me with milks-
Fluids that has the looks of milk.
I gulped her milks and farted-
Never knew was farting away
My freedom.
Farted till i began purging-
Purging my desires and wills.
Then after causing me such harms;
And I cursing her arms.
She fled like a cheetah,
Whose prey made jest of.
I thought she'll stay,
I thought she'll spray
Lovely trends on me. ...

A Mistake
He travelled his eyes through
the depth of the atmosphere
And saw you standing:
Posing or scotting-you were standing.
He sprayed his glottis Products:
'I love something about you' he'd said.
Bewitched by his words you succumbed:
IT'S A MISTAKE.
He came around your abode,
In love foggeries you two arode.
He bid a plot of land out of the acres of love in you:
You gave in to him:
IT WAS A MISTAKE.
He asked you to visit his home,
He prepared lamb steaks and baccaroni laced with sweet potatoes.
You went to his...

Now My Country
They said i'm a Nigerian;
They wouldn't discuss with me.
When i add them they chat me up,
They say where you from?
I said i'm from Nigeria?
He shouted 'theif,theif'.
He declined Me.
But am i a theif?
I'm a man of my garment.
Only if i need your help i'll ask.
I don't lay on another man's egg.
But my country has stained my garment.
He'd placed a false tag on my head.
That's why i'll change my country,
I'll do that even in an hurry.
Bewitched with theft and robbers;
G-guys and disloyal folks:

Changes
I want to make many changes about me:
I want to change my country,
Want to change the money i spend.
Want my thinking to levitate ten cubits high.
Want to change who i mingle with,
Want to live a life of Blessing group.
Want a change of career,(even want to change my school.)
Want to change my meals,
Want to change my cakes,
Want to change my outfit.
And he answered me:
I'll change your life:
(For if you wait on education you'll wait in vain).
I'll change your school,
I'll change your country,
