The Bliss of Hamattan I

In rustling sways, the leaves sings the orchestra.
Playing the chords of the dry desert winds..
Herald tunes of humid mist from the savanna.
In myrtle swings of blue..

A chilly gloom of haze grips the dawn.
As mistful hue sets the morn.
A timely chase to the eve of Christmas.
In dusty myriads ashore.

But if the chimes of Christmas songs..
Brings the gifts of santa claus..
Then let the dry winds of Hamattan.
Wipe wanes and toils off course.

In jingles sings the ringing chiming bells.
As dry leaves adorn the ground.
Gleaming forth in homeward bound.
The avalanche movement swells.

Swallowed in drought the thirst sets in.
As water becomes a means.
The fowls at Christmas are bought for kill.
Garnished in wholesome meals.

Happy glee blooms the Christened day.
The birth of the Son of God.
Many in this day are led astray.
Profanity in lust accord.

In sweetened beams chimes the homonyms.
As fireworks adorn the eve.
And many a few are lost in bliss.
Of sacred songs and hymns.

In salient haven of peace.
The dry chills held me calm.
Of sweetened hymns in glorious feast.
The bliss of Hamattan.

Sunbeams

The sun beams its rays of light Into an eerie fog of darkness. Paving way for joy to dance its way Into the shadows of night. Surreal silence then decides to prey On this joy, transforming it to fear. The fog then morphs into faces of demons. Dining in a feast of fright. The sun beams again to disrupt the darkness And chaos sets in. The mind of joy enlivens into straws of hope. Standing in a congregation singing. "Rays of joy...rays of spoil. Shine with colors that destroy. Rays of joy, come restore. Beams of hope and faith employ To a heart so frail and thin And a mind, timid and weak Shine with grace so strong and heal Open wounds and age long scars" The sun beams now rays of hope. Forming a rainbow in a desert of whispers. Reality becomes a dream. Blistering fantasies into the winds. Then suddenly i wake into shards of loneliness Beaten by the fray of a long lost bond. The sun beams onto my face As i look out to the window Staring at nothing. H...

++Constellations++

One.... two... three. in constant increments, we began the fire that merged two worlds together. "Analysis check" was the phrase I evoked in constant scrutiny of these raging magma in my veins. Our meeting was a constellation of fireflies in space. in which we drowned subconsciously, but somehow evolved into amphibians. that could adapt to these changes terraforming our minds into colonies of insanity. Your eyes is the gate to a world simple and beautiful. Sometimes I question the nature of my reality in your absence. because reality is when I’m with you. Your hands is the highway to all things tender and poignant. Sometimes I get sick when I’m not with you. because your touch makes me blue. I won't try to fight these soldiers of affections assembled in my mind for a war of wit and guts because they will surely prevail. Instead I will lead them on a course to victory in mind, body, spirit and soul. Because I think I've found that mis...

Toyin

Toyin. You have stood the test of time Lending the sky a fist of faith. You have in eternity's mind. Existed before the birth of fate Moving through galaxies like a meteor That glimmers like a neutron star. You found your way through darkness Born into a world of pain and scars. Toyin. I won't try to explain the joy of flowers That bloom at the sight your smile. Or tell you the number of hours. I spend on the nile Of daydreams. Chilling on reflections in the evening Of my imaginations. Reminiscing the times when you In gentle whispers, Told me to: Never relent. Toyin, I won't try to begin to extol The nature of your mind. A concatenation of ideas and skills That puts one in a state of rewind... Into the beauty of your soul A work of art made by God. To bring about miracles, wonders and signs as of Old. Toyin I would like to remind you that The test is not over. You will be tried on different levels And realms till you get to a state Of ment...
