In times so critical
Madness becomes typical
And categorically stereotypical
Humans fought for being fickle

Whilst wisdom barely trickles. . .

I sight u
Thou insightful one

Likewise,
Bright as a sunrise
Securing valuable ties
Always clockwise
By God speed, no lies

Warm Golden Rays,
May they always live
In your hearts...

Platinum Illumination,
May they hover over you
Embarking onto the path...

If you feel
That your spark wanes,
Still the mind and ask,
Then,
Undoubtedly consider
That help was with you
All this time...
But you didn’t see
That it was perched
On your NOSE
Guiding you...
May the Lord of Hosts,
The Universal Sovereign,
See you Saplings through...

Friends of the Quill
I beseech thee
Do not stand still...

I stand still
Until i see a thrill
That spins, whirls and twirls

The quill enslaves me
I listen, do its biddings
Then, will I be free

Until all of the inks in my quills were poured out,
I never really understood what freedom was all about.

Different from norms,
Are first quarter storms...
Altered from the expected,
Are things unforeseen
And the neglected...
Shifted from the same,
Are seismic tremors
Under strain...


Things will Never be the same...
I saw it last year,
I see it today.

We,
Once beautiful,
Pray to be
Forever.

Like scarlet thread,
Are thy lips...
Like coconut flesh
Are thy teeth...
Like unwritten scrolls
Are thy hair locs...
Like brandy,
Are thy eyes...

For a moment, I...
Turn away~
But it pointless
‘Cause I still see
In the mind’s eye
An array of stars
Mapped on thy skin...

Against my better judgment
A tracing starts
From one cluster
To the next...
In you,
are galaxies:
Vast expanses unharnessed...

In one entity:
Infinite possibilities-
No uncertainties-

I hold my breath...
This is one vision
I don’t deserve

Could I help myself?

Nein.

I’m all yours,
You’re all mine.

It rains
It pours
In sheets
In scores
At dusk
At dawn
Huddle in
Or
Brave out
The desert
Has sprout

Then, will I be free
A quill loves a paper,
A paper loves a quill,
Together,
They make sweet,
Sweet music...

Here am I standing before intellect to be judged aright/wrong
Cos thoughts be running through my mind like Pablo interested in painting a soul
The Judge seems confused as to what verdict he's to pass
Cos he hasn't judged a case like mine And there wasn't enough time to research and rehearse
In a catch-22 situation he opted for adjournment and this gives me a sigh of infirmity.

The Word
The Effect
The Cause

You Heard
The Scribe
The Bard

The Time
The Cost
The Barred
