Ancient DNA


Upon the rolling dust, lingering in my nostrils

You found me crowned with infancy joy

Painted up to the head,

With a tale that tailored my tomorrow in bliss

Denied being a roll of chance,

That Gambled life to be what it is.


As upon the rolling dust, blistered upon my hands

You found me chiseled to be a provider

Natured by those of the old,

That upon the sweat of my head

My stomach will find a rescue

No! Not on soft hands but on happy blisters.


For upon the rolling dust, served sweetness upon my tongue

You found me scarred by a taste of royalty

Birthed from dust the gave way to the lush-ful green

Inherited from the ancient crown

Where smoke spoiled the sky

To fill a child to life.


Upon the rolling dust, embedded on the mind

You found me endorsed in royalty bliss

Where the dust upon my feet spoke loudly

Creating a rhythm unforgettable to life

As it was the rods held me from infancy

Learning to walk on kingship roles.

Whispered Prayer on Shouted Truth



Please!


Please let me resize my mind

Before you rerun your thoughts to my midnight

For you sold me before my birth

Yet you knew me not

But crowned me, a pupa.


So, please!

Let me resize my mind

Before you endorse me to be royal

For in your eyes my crown was dust

And my blood was the anthem you love to oppress

Yet from the cradle of creation, I reign

While you belittled the dust that birth all.


So, please let me resize my mind

Before you… place me to fit your size

For you call me small to everything

Choking my words

So, they are never loud enough

For me to be heard

Yet my home is the dust you despise

A third world continent is what you deemed us



But please let me resize my mind

Before you forget who started with the figures

You are boastful about

As from the same cradle of creation

They were drawn to life.


So please let me resize my mind

Before you throw me down to eat the dust

As I reign from the land of kings and queens

Full of rhythm of soul that jumps alive

Danced to by all nation

Yet looked down upon.


So please let me resize my mind

Before you crown me, a pupa!

For you took a snap of my home upside down

Tell me to embrace my smallness

Yet I was larger than the rest

While you sketched me little

To tell a narrative that belittled my home

Rolling some dice to break me away from my royalty.

Gazing Past the Eyes

Then they were two on a ride

Preaching promises of time

Yet robbing seconds in words

While dancing on hours shores

Empty of the final act.


Drawn to the skies ray of promise

They watched in silence yet acting otherwise

Drowning at the back call of dreams

Where their feet scar the ground

Yet panning for gold.


Called in circles
There they were once again

Gazing past each other's eyes

Now with a renewed call to act

Forgetting the past that once crowned their heads.


Plucking a rose for final tell

They told their tale now in action

Tilling the arid grounds to bloom

Now a refresher course of dreams

And a prospect of the future.

Elegy in Reverse

 Overwhelmed under ink

Embraced in traces of her

Drenched in an elegy


He whispered a tale

Both strange to the tongue and mind

Yet strong as a scent on an animal farm.


Tilling time to seek a smile

He took his chance

Drawing tears in darkness.


Yet when it was dawn

Another story stood true

Awash with scarred face.


Swashed with emotion

He penned her words

Yet backwards they landed on paper.

Machine Gun Rainbows


With you!

My tongue never runs dry of words-

As it spits them like a machine gun,

Painting worlds from our imagination,

Unbound by the clock's cold reason.


With you!

My feet pivot towards sanity,

Devoting to etching rainbow on gloomy days,

Sparking life into existence when trails press close,

Unshaken by thorns ahead.


With you!

My eyes pierce beyond tangled speech,  

fixed on a future framed in fire,  

yet curious for what flickers in the now—  

sighting tomorrow, pitched in endless smiles.  


With you!

My hands trace the arc of your beauty,  

stunned by God’s chisel, how it carved you—  

flawed, divine, a paradox sculpted in light—  

each brushstroke making my soul take flight.  


With you!

My ears crave symphonies of your voice,  

its timbre a feast, honeyed and raw,  

seasoning my soul on a sunlit shore—  

our voyage etched in grins, forevermore.

Love Hurdles!


In the nude of echolalia joy
Dancing to the breeze of the moment
Driven in and out of crazy notions
Tongue held in tongues.

She drew in air paced
Body juddering to the howling moon
Soul whispering in heaven kisses
Bumping to rambling lips rhythm
Lost in fantasy.

Hand held in soul searching position
Grinding on time into joining her
Seeking reinforcement, to a broken wall
Enticed to every deep end dive
He lost sense in joy
Pleading for mercy in ecstasy.

All Covet, All lose



Of all the words I had to paint

Ensnared with my heart pledge

She purged my happiness in a smirk

Devouring my sanity in a call of heaven

As she gave me a piece of her

In an elusion of a peace offering

Where she captured my soul.


Beckoned to surrender

She held my feet fixated in a render

Thrown into a dice of errands

Robbed of choice

She left my being in yearning

Pleading for a bite of haven

Yet tearing the walls of logic in insanity.


Curving reality into a ghost

Pants torn in broken promises

She rode high on me

& gave an appraisal to my brokenness

Skimming my mind to becoming a grime reapers friend

Yet wishing to rob an arrow & plunge it into her heart.


Tearing the canvas asunder

To reveal the inner truth bled by the fingertips

Feared by the words wishfully said in darkness

She robbed all of me

& left none of me to pick up the pieces

Which she shuttered with a half vow pledge to devour me.
