BACK!!! (Haiku) We refreshed and watched On alien screen of cloud flare As Nairaland beams... What's nugatory? Dreary internet which tides, Green 'N' and blue 'f'... Almost seven years... Returns Lazarus of our screens - We frolicked - Oh yikes! Smile stains our faces, Itching fingers run amok On dusty keypads ... Joyous-complaints nags... Was yesterday without smiles? Seun silver-tongued. We refreshed and watched Our fun memories obscured Like our past starts now 2 Likes |

***Bleeding soul*** . Bleeding soul... Steelious mine... Grifted heart... Rumpled emotions... Waved affection... Shattered... Hope gone missing.. Scattered... Bleeding soul i sing... Heart achs... Dripping in drops... Slowly i take... Becked over grown rops... Pointed sorrows.. Glowing pains.. Bleeding souls in rows... Bound in chains... 1 Like |

Dame's Test -PART 2. "The wait was minute like her apathy for my antics" The re-call was necessary Ignited by a friend's angry Tone and shock at my strangeness But my inner friend deserved the reprimand Her whisper of doubtings perched on me Stinging my truest desire with bites of bee "Call her and know the truth" my other friend said Flight of doubtings, then reality bled Bled to death, made rebirth necessary Her first failure tossed. ~ Life, a telephone science Imbued with subtle cues; through our unknown path The nights wrapped in foggy camouflage I rolled on my lonely bed and grabbed my phone "Hello dame" I called the older sis, the perfect broker Surprise lit her voice and did blind my cool "You are Sam? Ain't you?" She fired A barrage of stutter coiled my tongue "Anybody there?!" "No this is not Sam" "Then who?" Silence blow-jobed my mouth "There?" I was jolted From my hidden world of silence "Joe I am, Carol's friend" "Sam I know, but who are you?" "Joe now" I almost cried "Ohhh the lover boy. Lemme hand her the phone" The wait was minute like her apathy for my antics ~ It was a lifetime ago But I still know the letterings of the past Like the bare of my palms Like the cypher of the future Like her whisper of no! ~ "Did you miss me?" She asked "I miss you and..." The connection saundered "Helloooooo!"I screamed Screams of 'ambulance' rent the telespace Followed by a soft cracking sound of snapped bones Now void with a strange solemness. ~ It started with a premonition I ignored My ears twitched But I foresook the prophetic clues The dawn dropped with a strange yellow That sembled the dull of the dusk And birthed a morning that was first in annals When the Sun arose the Northward Then came the urge to call her For retest, And ascertain her real sentiments me toward. ~ "She's slipped into the Vegetative State" The doctor said I clasped my arm around her coma-ed shoulders And whispered a moan A tear of agony escaped my eyes and scalded her glossy cheek "She'll get through" I screamed "But the fall was fatal" He re-fired Like he was happy with her plight, or mine "Carol will survive this and pass this test She'll tell me she loves me like I do!" "Yes I do love you Joe" Her weak voice broke out. muselord. 3 Likes |

DEATH I have a mortal fear Fear that devours my dream Blights the bliss of the gloam Drowns sooth when lulling near I have this proximate demon Hovers with glee over my head That satin be rolled me upon At the darkest end of my world. ~ I have a great phobia That trails heel-near, stealthily behind me A hostile ally that won't let me be I feel its wanton ire Its errand, without a pay Pat on the back or moiety Of heaven's manse for they That defy the beasty treaty. Tried hard to conform to the metric rules. muselord. 2 Likes |

Yeah the part 3 is here..... THE LAST TEST "I never meant it"She retracted My eyes rolled like a circus The sky was stripped of its cloud and secrets The oceans of their depths Man's tittle soul- hers was still a mystery E'en when I was de-spelled of her charm Mistaken I was I have over-loved her But she never reciprocated the feel And she gored my Achilles' heel With the truth that was late The earth switched her domain The stars went ballistic with the gravity of the misdeal ~ Globules of sweat ringed my forehead It was a love-mare The sad clues were masked in the dark covers of my snooze Aided by the unflawed revelation of nightfall The mtchews of a franker friend waxed my inner ears Blocked the inner voice that boldened my passion My keyed pal opened up a secret chasm Troononing... It wailed omniously "Hello" Her voice kissed my benumbed ears Facilitated alacrity that I breached from the start "All the years I've loved you You stole away the air I breath since our eyes foured I placed you on the sky And you transgressed gravity But my feelings are higher than thy..." "And so...!" She cut in ~ "I had a bad dream that you never loved me" "Shut up Joe. Just shut the mess up I never loved you,. That changed when I fell and went into the coma I never loved you, infact hated you for your years of silence I've always loved you yet unloved you At the jiffy of my anger with-your tacitness!" But I had chewed the arsenic crystals in my hand For I had plegded to kill me if the dream came true My life was soaked out of my skin "Joe !" I heard, now in vague volumes "Joe ! I love you. More than you do" Was the temporal antidote I needed to salvage the suicide ~ The stretcher scurried me into the theatre "Joe please don't die!" The moment revealed my love weightier I was dying for love that I miscalculated "The poison has eaten his entrails I'm sorry his ain't salvable" The doctor declared My eyes spinned faster and ached my heart "We'll get through ... Joe You won't prove you love me more by dying for love!" In a sleight, she swallowed the remaining ten of my killer sweets And like a skillful assassin slew herself......

REALITY (Logic) Reality What a surprising thing Its an awakened imaginary That is locked from the life Of what we want to what we get Living in a dream Reality Such a shocking thing Its the only movie We get to be ourselves And wished others not following our path Are living in a dream Reality What a dreadful thing It is an aborted desire That chases dreams only When life becomes a nightmare Reality Is all a dream In spite of everything 1 Like |

...and so it hit me yesterday. Mike Tyson's punch to my jugular. Red salty taste in my mouth And a dagger in my heart. Knees buckle wit the weight of it all Eyes once bright Hazy with oven hot tears Alas... I'm a man And men don't cry I tell myself. Be strong take heart. We can still be friends. She tells mi-self. I wonder how that would work... #friendzoned |

The whiff of ruffled wind Passes through my nostril Smelling like clay My door also felt A small tap Knock! Knock!! Windows swinging... Fear... A windy ghost Seeks a friend tonight To muscle On his goose pimple skin My mind bristles... My hand rolls itself On the drab curtains Lost.. In emphatic stare To the darkness That shone from the lantern My imbroglios To a shivering vigil From grandpa's tales by moonlight Where sleep absconds. 2 Likes |

Why Not Now? If I without a sorry Betray the art of the respire With no rubric eye for bounteous years Drifts into an eternal sleep I've longed for coy epitaphs Say not: He's cowardly! If this impatient lariat in my hand Looped for a mangling mission Then rings my neck; Droughts the stream of life From reaching my brutal spirit Gasp not at this boldness For only myself can explain to you, Perchance, at my half-death Or trail this same path, our eyes to four At the feet of the Jewly King If I let out my last glance And cast the next on a saner realm Say not: He doesn't deserve my pitying Shove your virtue and learn my failings I was a brave being E'en never-the-less, at this other phase Or during the daring deed Was I less a man My hubris, my wisdom My wisdom, my folly Holy folly! Sacred suicide Subverting death's undated visiting Better then, I to reverse the hosting So then If we all needs must die Why your why? Why not now? |

"IMAGE OF HER" by Timothy Nkenu She is an archangel The ‘she’ version of Gabriel Definitely the unknown descendant of Abel Her beauty is almost unreal as though in a fable Maybe, ‘Cause she flawless and it got me thinking like a premature baby As Lately, The thoughts of her overpower me greatly Mind’s on fire Soul’s taken higher Heart’s melody sweeter than a choir’s ‘Cause when she talks, even wars gets a ceasefire They say perfection don’t exist That is a lie I must admit To her, my soul is an addict She is perfection and that is my verdict If you like it, please support by liking my page: http://www.facebook.com/PenSideOfTim Thanks. 3 Likes |

Dear Sonneteer (Rhyme) How do I write a good sonnet? When I don't consider myself a poet Cuz I'm not skilled in juggling words that rhymes Or think out tunes that perfectly chimes I've heard that its not hard afterall, That I just have to have the gall To thread on its fourteen lines Scheming my feelings through its pines Well, I know that my pen shall one day rain And that the river of poetry flows in my vein Then would my words would roll on Adam's tongue As a hymn on their lips like a sing-sung For I know that one day These words would pay The true work of my art Of that phrase that rhymes in my heart 5 Likes |
