The clown who fell in love with a mermaid

state between childhood and adulthood and escaping into a fantasy world


    Rainbow eyed mermaid eyes winking  at him

  his nose purple red of love

 and his eyes crazy green and sparkling

The deep dark sea

she swallowed your princess

save her with your foolish loving smile

before the party...

IJEOMA

PRAYER FOR SUCCESS IN OUR WORK


Ijeoma is the wishes of everybody

Not to be sleight under cunning

Craftiness of manmade factor

Or natural inferno

The desire of men under the sun

To breed to stay not to be burnt by fire

Nor beaten by rain

Ijeoma...

Dark to Light

My temporary life chaos, i feel much better after expressing this via poetry.


~~Alphabet of keys, my release,

Of stress and pain that wouldn’t cease,

Sometimes romance and love,

About my mind did shove,

Expressing emotions,

Me unknown and my devotions,

Difficulties to express was stark,

My inner light and dark,

Throw up of words...

Technological Revolution


Do not be afraid that change is afoot.

Like many times before we stand at a new precipice.

Part willing and part not to take the final leap.

 

Many surrender to herd mentality.

Backwards we go, further and...
