Sonnets: Marry you, some day…
I know your dad do not like me
And I know your mum detest me
I used to have this self control
Avoiding critics and their trolls…
I am in love, it is a fact…
At the paradise of my heart,
Where I ought to apply caution
Lust’s sentiments and obsession,
Makes my head go over my heels
And I don’t care what they feel…
Even when it is all taboo,
As long as it is all for you
Cats will always look at the king
But no setback will break my ring.

Secrets of sprinklers
Watch the company you keep
Sweep fairweather if you can
Let go of an excess weight
Appreciate every wingspan.
Like an iron and the magnets,
Carrots and the rabbits
Attract what wouldn’t pretend
Or hide facts, that your face has dirts.
Most times it isn’t the nudity
But fecundity by another,
Fecundity as in creativity
And ability to grow together.

A day with a rich man
I sat down with a rich man
On the same kind of rattan
I couldn’t alter a word
But enthusiasm swirled
I watched him from head to toe
Close and deep into his soul
He had pimples no dimples
Yet he smiled cute and simple
I sat down with a rich man
On the same kind of rattan
Embarrassment of riches
Were his problems not witches..
I sniffed for costly perfume
And found nothing I presumed
His mindsets were not money
But centered round harmony
I sat down with a rich man
On the same kind of rattan
He was just like you and I
One day, to earth says, goodbye.

Frail behind pictures
With you I saw into the future
It was awesome and so assured
And around your arms I felt secured.
We were strangers although not for long
Gradually I mastered the contours
Around your hips, details I could draw
Just like the plants fed with good manure
Our love grew more than wealth can procure
We were the pleasure of epicure
Perfect love was our miniature
Each time we sailed we made no detour
Through the air, water, land and moor
It was as though we wrote love’s brochure
Sadly we are only in pictures
A perfect couple with such allure.

Not the dog you used to know
Like ocean tides create a whirlpool
And flies to wounds, I followed you…
Loyalty to you, was my schedule
Back pats I got sticking to rules,
Other lit bulbs a million joules
So attractive yet I never drool…
For years I stood as the pity deer,
Caught by their lights, amidst sweat and tears
I love you but I must not adhere
To dark principles because I fear
That keeping my sniff from your cashmere
Will bring me pains, more than I can bear.
You made me feel you were my krypton
And I the superman, shouldn’t yawn
You fed me the hoaxes of the brawn
Till my flesh reached point of rubicon
The bones you gave me were woebegone
You can’t stop me, I will be gone.

Hazel’s Diary: 7 months old
Upon every new dawn
You seem to become more fun…
Growing so swiftly in strength
And good healthiness as well…
In all forms and dimensions
I can possibly mention…
Seriously your wonder
Often makes me to ponder
How charming you are in jeans
While dressed up in my genes
As you clock seven months old
May your blessings not miss road…
My sweet beautiful love bug
My love is more than mere hugs.

Beautiful Zombies
In two shakes of a dog’s tail
The weather changes, so they say
With raindrops that are rubied
Rolling from bunch of zombies
Staggering down in the street
Possessing all that they meet
Conspiracies all sprung up
As a norm we all adopt.
Decent ones in the city
Soon became filthy dirty
Devils and trolls we hired
Became woods in our fire
The blacks and whites not like us
We destroy with sticks and rods
When the infants starts to creep
We shoot them right from our hips
Yet with our scary wild eyes
We still hunt the tranquil ice
And not until we change our views
The zombies are all but good.

Hope, love and faith
My mountain labor brought forth a mouse,
When I climb I land in a doghouse
I seemingly fell to the devil’s bait
Tears and sorrows, were all I could create…
Outside the window, the rainbow stood out
Reminding me, my life was hell in a handcart
Upon each dawn, I was so declining
Not one cloud over me had a silver lining
It was as if I ran on sharp blades and knives
Chasing free cheese in the mouse trap of life
Head down, back against the wall, at the corner
I had almost let my ghost take over
Then I summoned courage to water a seed
And that was enough to bring me good deed.

Water the seed
It seems heaven finds no illicit
In these eras of many deciets.
If the preacher’s acts make you to pout
Know that you are not completely out.
Never you throw away the bible
Just because an angel has fumbled.
Keep watering that your muster seed
Heaven would reward all your good deeds.

My type of love
I can have the world by the tail
Even when all trials fail
I rather sleep alone and frown
Than skipping brain for a brawn
The quest for knowledge makes me gate crash
Giving me a ‘love at first sight” match..
When it comes to attraction
It is not the physical posession
But the content of the brain
Pouring on me like the rains
I seem to connect on every track
When energised by sweet sparks
In such plug is where I belong
Every second I get sprung
Reaching orgasm by listening
To the words that are spilling
From the lips of a rich brain
That may go by just any name
I don’t need a physical kiss
I am okay with a mental bliss.
