Those Places
Do you know those places?
Where the nights are still
and undisturbed by vulgar urban traffic
Do you know those places?
Where the skies are dark
on cloudy nights
only illuminated by the handheld lamp
of a woman walking from
one room to another
Those Places
Where the grasses glow
different shades of lime
in devotion to the moon and stars
on clear nights
Where lakes attempt to recreate the past
like Gatsby, by reflecting
light emitted by constellations
that exploded in spectacular supernovas
centuries ago...

Poet's Delight
I know you're poet/ess
And I want you to know that I'm in love with words
I'm captivated by multisyllable rhyme schemes
and the soulful evocations of your verse
The complexity of your compositions
collides coherently with my inquisitive conscience
resembling vibrant supernova explosions
......
Your words approximate psychedelic pills
that expand my consciousness
akin to metals broadening when heated
You paralyse me with your parody
So I thought maybe my puns can make you palpitate
And my metaphors can metamorphose
you into metaphysical...

Rose Tears
Let me wipe away
Those tears splashing
down the light of day
Your eyes brighten up
my universe
Your pupils are pollen
To my mind's pair of worker bees
Those precious eyelids are petals
Opening and closing to the song of the sun
Your sparkling tears
Compel mines
To gush out in solidarity
Not knowing the cause
of your silent wailing
However obliged by
that frown
On your beautiful face
To share the sentiments
.....
Rose tears
Allow me into your mind
Let me explore the untamed
forests of your memories...

Untitled 22
That night she longed a lost lover
One she had possibly
Crossed paths with in the past life
A lover she was yet to encounter
In this realm of existence
......
She was staring at the dull ceiling
Vivid memories of her enstranged lover
Sporadically oscillated
in and out of her mind
But she dismissed this repetoir
Of her past life romance
As a complex figment
Of her brilliant imagination
......
She wished to gaze at the skies
Hoping she would spot a comet
And wish to once again
Meet this mysterious angel
That dominated...

Angel Faces
Beaming smile as I converse with an angel
The stars brushing my hair, the clouds clubbing my ankle
It sure would be great sitting at heaven's table
and charm a Goddess with a poetic fable
Discourse with the dead and marvel as the truth unravels
......
What/who is the source of light
That begot the sun and stars that separate day from night
The phenomenon that birthed space and time
One that creates intelligent life and beauty so sublime
......
I fetishize making love to a Goddess
And plant my seed in its garden in the process
So my...

How do I describe beauty?
A certain lady of elegance
Who wanted concrete evidence
That when I say she is beautiful
It is the truth without pretence
Asked me to describe her beauty with eloquence
.....
However I have hit speech impediments
How do I describe her radiance?
How do I start describing beauty?
How do I articulate it truly?
This is a painstakingly difficult duty
.....
Do I tell her that she is the
priceless image of Isis?
That she is the apotheosis
of the elegance of Pisces?
The task indeed has me freezed
caught in a crisis
........

Young Night
Young Night
Something incongrous about this setting
In a crowded dining hall
On the banks of a lake
Surrounded by abundant nature and savannah wildlife.
Ignorant of the cacophony
Of peers' loud chatter
I'm engaged in a radiant colloquy
My interlocutor
An elegant young lady
With an imaginative mind
And mesmerizing beauty
Her words echo
through my ears
As I'm raptured by her hypnotising eyes
I still recall the chat
vividly
Isolated in my personal bubble
I ask:
Young night,
Why did you pass?
Something incongrous about this setting
In a crowded dining hall
On the banks of a lake
Surrounded by abundant nature and savannah wildlife.
Ignorant of the cacophony
Of peers' loud chatter
I'm engaged in a radiant colloquy
My interlocutor
An elegant young lady
With an imaginative mind
And mesmerizing beauty
Her words echo
through my ears
As I'm raptured by her hypnotising eyes
I still recall the chat
vividly
Isolated in my personal bubble
I ask:
Young night,
Why did you pass?
