Poetry – Page 26 – SIMPLE WORLD

Eu-phore-ian soul

The sounds virtual
The keys of black and white
Something rings at the back
Like a bell, it says
Awaken
Arise
My tongue is saying that I am human
But from the hands of God I came
I’ll live that part,
And breathe it till I cease to exist
Reawakening back to my next time

The sense looms around
The story is in everything
Lives show forth
Do right
Maybe you see different
But the balance is there for everybody

Look at the twist
The guided and the free
But there are one or more clouds swaying above
Whether you see or listen
The book of balance lives
In the leaves and in the beginnings of air
Its moves, or sits when the cries lead no where
An oversea, holds the blue and the sunrays
A man walked on water
Amidst the shouts of troubling times
The crucifying stares
Like one had bruised them before
How I can paint to you?
I care but the essence is in time
So I can cannot care
I am getting prepared
Walking the comprehension of the fire
The tic brings back the hit a little louder
Manifesting the stoppage of its being
Miss it and it goes
But the toc is there

Mykonos rerun

Let’s dissipate with the rising sun
Bringing with us a drum
Telling all
To go to the ancient city
Shouting, jubilating as we reach the entrance
Walk slow, walk on
But never forget to hold the soul of another
Wherever you may find them

There, the women dance
The children shake dust
Footsteps all around
Shaping the soul of night
Though the rain washes
Our minds will remain
So let’s go with the clouds,
Into the orbit of the sun
Forever finding the banner of our youth

Wilderness of Freedom

Feel the waves
Hid to the breeze of now
Swing with the rolls of drums
Hitting bass, salivating soul
The deserting flowing sand
Knowing time’s running
So vibe with me
Travel into my reprise
Back again, free from a former life
The chase was long and
The bridge was cold
Closed, but under it I slept
Waiting, sleeping
Hoping to awake
And speak of my nights
Here I am, back from the cold days
Heated with fire
With a breath of fresh air
I am here, free from shackles

My voice is strong
For the people with me
I am legal, ready to ride with life
For the ones who broke bread
And made it into life
Bringing me light and shower
I am here, with a liquor of soldiers
I am here, to touch souls
To clear minds
Brushing my shine, bringing the hope
To the people who breed me with love
I am here, recognized with the sky
Reconciled with my past
I am here to live my time
Riding on the streets of my people

My people see the sun
Without fear of honor, they hold
A generation of rebels
Masked with red and truth
Their turn to move earth
I am here to speak louder
Fuller than ever before
The notes I write
Will rid the shame my people sing
For too long, shedding tears of their struggles
I am here to cleanse my wrongs
The days are here
To take back of our lives
Snatch back our pride
And head back into the night of the earth

Awoken Sun

Blank pages, without a history
Yet they say the past is there
I look at the chapters from the book
And wish, my people are here
With red beads and painted spades
Dancing, singing of their salvation
Jubilating of the approaching times
By their tongues, you shall know
By their eyes you will see
The forgotten memory
The lost story will be rewritten by
The new ones, the great ones
From the earth of life, they shall come
With prophesies foretelling
The great awakening that is to come

River Benue

Let’s dive into the water
Flowing with the stream
Swinging back and forth
With the stillness of water
We will be the commotion
Shaking the beginnings of the river
Making them see we’re here
To claim back our soul
To one deep into water
Hidden, laying in the fallen ships
Lost amongst the skulls of pirates
With a deep breath and closed eyes
We will go down
Venture down below
So c’mon let’s dive deep into the stream

The Noon of our Lives

The calm breeze was smooth
Sailing through the rolled-down window
With the back of my eyes I saw her
As she stepped out
With a dress made of red
Smile made from rose
Pupils made of Ivory
Hey, she said
Let’s go to the moon
Coast to coast
East to west
Failing down, flying with clouds
Let’s go away from here
And kiss in air
Forever floating
In the sky, away from here
Hey you, she said
C’mon let’s go boy
Come with me
Quiescence as we sail
Low into the blue
Basking in the light
Sweet, rolling with the birds
High above all
Away from all
Just us in our time
Let’s get and give love
Above all
The breeze was calm
Smooth as it should be
So I said
Baby, baby
Lady of the night
Let’s ride and make it
Through the pouring night
High into clouds
Far away from all
Cos with you, time is nothing

Crossing Night

The rain fell with haste
Thunder claps behind it
Hitting windows and zincs
Falling down
Pouring and flowing
Showering the world
With tears from clouds
Heavy drops, dripping wetness
Out and about
It roamed the sand
Raising dust
Cleansing roads
Live with it
And you’ll see there is no need
For hate or spite, anger subdued

Goddess of rain
Hit me, splash me
Wash away my dirt
So I can live till the next morning
My feet is heavy, I need to float again
Rise me, never letting go
Your moment is all I need
To perfect my dying ways
Come soft, come strong
I don’t care for time
Dive deep into my heart
And make me thirst no more

Arise! things made of machines

Connect my soul to the tubes of nightmare
Call me forth, shout out my name
And as a robot, I shall appear
Without a hint of compassion or philosophy

DELTA BLOOD

The system calculates our time
When we type and punch into the vast space
Codes meant to search and destroy
High up, masked as drones
The sky watches these robotic beings
As they fly past the Nile
Down to Lake Chad
Then into the delta of our lives
Rounding up their targets
They circle round and round like vultures
Waiting for the dying moment
When souls seek the light
Then with darkness in sight
A noise they bring with them
Down onto heads, as they smash their way below
Forcing, driving away the good that was once human

SYMPATHY FROM THE DARK

Yank the cords from me
Hold my soul for a ransom
Place thorns on my head
Feed me rats and mud
Lies, lies are all you speak
Mechanical madness is your name
Call me crazy and I’ll say yes
The crazy one is born
Renewed in me
Spirit of a great
Lives in me,
In me to tell out your lies
To speak so you may repent
If not, please seek death
And burn as you have done to others
Die as much as you can
And be born again when your soul is ready for life
