The lookalikes
From the rocks of all ages,
I can not distinguish
Parent birds and offsprings
New blood always become
Everything genes speak of
But how do lovers choose
A lookalike for rings,
When taking the glove off
Further bending the truth
That; “one plus one is one”
Many differ from Adam
But after knotting ties
They get two gifts in lieu
One from kids of the womb
Second comes up in grey.
I have seen a balance
From produce of unions,
Between mother and child,
Yet at the other edge
You see features of dad.
If you are Mr. Thomas
Take a walk down the park
Watch families merry
New blood always become
Everything genes speak of.

How I shine
I am like a breeze dispersed seed
Going wherever He takes me to
The I rotten, and germinate
Becoming a tree, rich and strong
All my the pains I have been through
Are written on my leaves and stems.
I am like a breeze dispersed seed
And I have felt the touch of God
Comforting, but I can not explain
Neither can I describe, how it felt
Going through volcano, and back
Sprouting richly in the deserts.
I am like a breeze dispersed seed
Going through land of no return
In the times I thought I was gone
Out of the blues, came his fingers
Lifting me above the waters
Saving me from awful disaster.

The death race
Run, run, it all begun
The second we were born
Endeavor to have fun,
Because, we will be gone
Away from varying slates
At some point in this race
According to our fate
We shall be called, “it or late”.
Run, run, it all begun
The second we were born
Endeavor to have fun,
Because, we will be gone
Into a distant land
According to God’s plan
So live life like you can
Today hop on the van.
Run, run, it all begun
The second we were born
Endeavor to have fun,
Because, we will be gone
To a place from the clay
And illusions of rays
Coming from yesterday
It might be yours today,
Run, run, it all begun
The second we were born
Endeavor to have fun,
Because, we will be gone
Dwelling in shadow’s scene
Swimming in fearless stream
Yes, it is finish line;
Realm of forever dream.

Grateful Rest
Nothing stays fresh and ever green
Even the grass, withers and falls
Until we all eventually fade
We all shall taste of that life brings
The good, the bad, the sour, the sweet
Today nascent, tomorrow grey
Yes, at some point, we crave for rest
Life is but, cradle to the grave.
Where troubled minds will fall asleep
Well, I do not know, about you
But, if I can speak when I ghost
I will tell death, thanks for the rest.

Why do gods extend left hands?
At first, with a right hand
The gods gave a large farm
All sorts of essential plants
And made them to grow well.
These plants were varied
Just like the five fingers
But they had such a beauty
In their great diversities.
Record books postulated
A bountiful harvest
The store rooms were expanded
Not until, one fateful day,
The same immortal gods
Whose benevolence poured
From their powerful right hand;
Extended their very left hand
Then from another end
The ice cap began melting
And the great Sea’s level
Tremendously grew
Birthing a stubborn flood
That came with a full force
From the coast, without fear
Wiping away the entire farm.

My Bloodlines
To my lovely children;
In your varying veins
The same blood flows deep down
From same ancestral gown
Daddy loves you so much
That he will always blush;
“I have been to lala land”
There are still lots to find.
In the air, build castles
Let wonders guide you through
Into imaginations
And cartoon’s illustrations.
Dance and play; in your cots
Throw blows; but not a lot
When you do, forgive too
The cord shared, is not two
Trust and always believe
Family never leaves…
Please honor your mother;
Do always remember
For you, she went through pains
After nine months you came
Giving her reasons to smile;
Hence, she goes extra mile
To protect and provide
You with a stress free life.
Do not get so annoyed
When we do spare no rod
While growing, when you err
Please gain an old man’s hair
Trust and always believe
Our love will never cease.

My everyday feeling
The clock ticks
And unplugs
The fuse to
Moments
Nows and nouns
That created muse
Leaving me lonely
In the dark,
Vacuum fills
My soul
Digging deep
Darks holes
Drowning me
In my tears
With a lot of beer
Down my throat…
Trying to
Figure out
Possible
Ways through
To bypass
The sadness
And the hand of death
From striking…
How I wish
I could freeze
Its breeze from
Blowing
And sweeping
Away family and
Those I care.
But we can
Only shift
May be think
How to
Substitute
Death we can not cheat
At the end.

Share this Poem :
Today is mine
Today
Is all
I boldly
Call mine
Yesterday
Is ruthless
And careless
With time.
Tomorrow
Is brutal
Though hopeful
Most times.
Today
Is all
I boldly
Call mine.

Cradle cuddle
You make me look stupid
Losing my composure
I am privileged having
You, that I am sure…
Your magnanimity
Can not be measured
It makes the stars to
Lose their cynosure.
Hotter than the Sun
It is my pleasure
Holding a beautiful soul
Covered from exposure
By a spotless nascent skin
Fresh and soft in texture;
Nothing beats the feeling
Cuddling my own treasure.

Man from the year
This year brought tears
Ever raining
During times of,
Happy and sad…
But looking back
At the moments
I cried, some tears
Watered my seed.
This year brought forth
Many closed doors
Some I regret
Not passing through;
Bypassing doom
I realized that
Some closed doors got
Nothing behind
This year will end
Tonight by twelve
With a loud bang
And peoples voice…
Bamboozle, yet
We’re still mortals
Waiting for years
Come of an end.
