When the past beckons the present to speak to the future. The reason for the darkness. That flooded the souls of men When the atmosphere breathes. Through the nostrils of the winds. Convictions of hopelessness. For the salvation of humanity.. When rectitude is raped.. An becomes pregnant. With bastard children. Hybrid of virtues in sodomy. Forming a vast colony. When truth is enthroned in dust.. And with love, armies of deception gather. To destroy the foundations laid in the past. By the ancestors of our future. When voices crying on the hills of depravity. mutilated by memories that lie on fading dreams. When pages tainted with inks of sorrow and promises kept and broken. are laid with lives which had long been taken What shall we do then Continue to look at the curtains of grace That rest in the temple of Israel Or stand up to the foe That lay to waste The pages of many lifetimes. What shall we do then Bathe in the nemesis of our failures As the threshold of frustration Breaks our c...

En-TWIN-ed

En-TWIN-ed... I. Two lifetimes, Merged into O ne. Two beings from, Alternate realities. Fused into one system Of emotions and fate governed by their own reflections Reflections birthed from The semblance of their scars. Minute details entrenched In conduct connected by flaws. Flaws designed with a beauty Found only within their eyes. As they stare deep into The fragments of their souls. A dark cloud of feelings Hovers over their minds Its about to rain. A downpour of passions. Soaked into shivers down their spines. Creating an opening Of trust and truth. One found only in A sheer innocence of youth. II. You look at me with eyes Filled with care. Afflicting my senses with Tenderness and charm. Breathing in an atmosphere Of stars and fireflies. Our minds touch the heavens In caresses mild and thin. We do not struggle to attain A wireless connection of thoughts There are no passwords. No encryption algorithms. There is a festival of go...

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 ...

Musings 1

So i gather the remnants of what is left, Of me. And place them in your care. With unwavering trust devoid of fear. Therefore, I remain Dauntless, In this chemistry of the blind. I still see. My front and behind. So never mind. When i say. I am losing my mind. It is actually a way of saying. You're one of a kind. (c) 2015

Unrequited

I have been chasing shadows into glints of hope waiting for you to Love me back But, today. I witnessed the skies weeping at your foolishness. So do not look for me when the candle lights go out. or starve when the stars within your world refuse to shine. I took them with me because, Actually, They were mine. © Danny El .

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...

I Know (Part 2)

I know you think i am naughty. A pervert with a mundane mind. Whose upbringing may be faulty I know dear friend, i know. I know you feel i'm not serious. Most times you think i am kidding. You hardly know when i'm furious. I know dearest i know. Sometimes i tend to be recluse. Pushing you away, setting loose Blotches and sparks of my own fuse That hurt you... friend... i know. You know we all are not perfect. There's beauty in our flaws dearest. Don't make us in our hurts, neglect. Moments that made our love to grow. On boundless plains, in seas ashore. Where sands glinted like distant stars And hope was drawn across the waves That washed our pains and healed our scars. I know you know i love you still. Despite the way you treat me still. You do not know that soon i will. Leave you, dear friend, alone. To live my life in subtle peace. And break all bonds that brought us joy. And to my tent in solemn bliss. Forget that you ever exist... -- Dan...

I know...

"i know" I know you think i am so weird. most things i do may disgust you. you feel i am not confident. i know friend. yes, i know. i know you sleep at night with fear. you think i may not really care. when all seems lost and darkness falls. i know dearest... i know. i know you think i am quicksand. loveable, hard to understand. timid and shy. stupid and bland. i know dear friend, i know. i know sometimes, i dissapoint. and tend towards a breaking point of frustration and denial. i know dearest i know. i know how you treat me with scorn. say things about me that will burn my heart and make me feel so torn. i know dearest. i know. i know you do not know i know. all these and more, but i let go. to live a simple life of peace. i know dear friend. i know.

Edges of dreams

in beautous glimpses, on the edges of dreams Your smile glistens, like the rays of dawn. I see the colors of tenderness in your eyes and i wonder if I'm strong enough to break the ice. Your mind is the hallway to things complex and beautiful. a labyrinth of art, mysteriously powerful.. that... When you kissed me. i experienced rapture. elevating to a realm. governed by the future. - A future birthed from the moments we share in silence. on grassy hills... holding hands through the rays of passion as we burn in each other eyes. renewed from the ashes of our smiles ...in beautous glimpses, on the edges of dreams... - Danny El

"I cannot breakdown..."

"i cannot breakdown...." this is the lie i tell myself while my heart is on the verge of loosing itself. sometimes i stare in silent transitions between fantasy and reality and feel like a tortoise without limbs curled in its own shell. "who told you, you can move mountains when you can't even pick a pin. you lazy Nigerian youth. your failures stink like the stone cold faeces of a chimpanzee i saw passing on daydreams street yesterday" ...said stagnation. Yes, that being that has decided to put me in a state of mental depravity it's like my thoughts are caving in...to a bottle of dreams and aspirations left to ferment. that demon that feeds you with the memory of your failures. and all you see is how you shouldn't have followed this path or missed the other path forgetting that action and reaction are equal and opposite. From this bottle of dreams. i drink everyday. forgetting the failures of yesterday. assuring mysel...

++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...

I loved you

I loved you. because... Love is that useless idiot that put pepper-spray on my mind, Can't you see i was blind to how ugly you are. Should i remind you of how i used to see you as one of a kind A queen from the land of the rich and famous. with virtues very hard to find. Now i can see. © Danny El

Themeless

Oceans rage within his feeble mind. Running through grasses, unconsciously blind. To the perils, that lie in wait for the one. Who knows not the price paid for salvation. Mercy now drops at the rudders of sin. And me, a frail soul, lost in between. Longing for the touch of redemption. Amid-st the seeming trials and temptation. In the depths of fear, nemesis is born. A twin of karma, shining at the glint of dawn. Evil chains the conscience with the truth of guilt. Annihilating the walls, built by repute. Now hear me Lord, my wails, my paled cry. Let me through, the gates of heaven with a smile. Beyond this life, where shores are grim. Make me that vessel, filled to the brim. To revive the vine that falsehood has ruptured. Preparing the saints for the rapture.   © 2013 Danny El

When Love Happens

When in sobriety, i awaken. With stripes upon my head. And had my thoughts, overtaken. By her beauty instead. And slept into blue dreams. With smiles upon my face. Beneath a sky that gleams with starry crystals of solace. Finding peace in the conference of noise. As my ears elope into thin air. When she speaks with a voice that denoise. The grains of the atmosphere. Filming my doubts with memories that speak of a fragile heart. With the subtle play of symphonies. That make nightmares depart. Then, to a point, i dissolve. Into the liquid of affections. Steaming with a bold resolve. To make a sincere confession. Staring at the ocean in her eyez as i wander, lost in awe. With thoughts that froze as ice, when she opened the door. In the wake of a distorted mind. Whispers became dumb. Courage to its shame went blind. As feelings became numb. Then in sobriety, i awaken. With stripes upon my head. Of a love that has overtaken. My thinking instead. Danny El © 2015

Letter to my Heart

Do not take me for granted When i speak with so much fear Nor leave me in love's field stranded Without a tincture of your care When i sail across oceans unending with storms that scream into my soul Will you watch me, pretending Not to see the waters, swallow me whole Will you hide me behind the soothing echoes of your whispers? or take me on a tour to find Pleasures disguised as painful blisters? Deep beneath your veins Do you believe you can bear the sky upon dark plains Where marches forth, an army of tears? Danny El © 2015

Portraitures

Suddenly we glide, in the steep slopes of life's valley Gliding with the skateboards given by our failures. to sink into oblivion like forgotten winds. We feel torn A     P     A     R     T. like rags used to clean the bodies of dead men. Gliding against rocks of chastity we stumble. injured severely, we resort to surrender our will to depression. Suddenly we begin to listen to the language of flashes here and there. Trace patterns of the future burned in daydreams We begin to understand the need to get up and move on Upwards, towards our goal Against the tides and torrents of our travails.. © Danny El

Like Pochahontas

Like Pochahontas.. Reminisces flew towards me. Spirally. Like leafs from white trees. Taking me back to the days when. We met we. Miles spoke in smiles. Through conversations made in blue lines. Distraught, broken by thoughts. Roaming endlessly. Round the pavilion of affections. But fate had already drawn a thin line. Destined her, not to be mine. And while i struggled, with all the strength in me. She was busy building, the melody. Meticulously, i frayed my care into oblivion. And dreams scattered abroad. Trodden of difficulties. As i struggle against the torrents created by life's stormy seas. So i watched, far from reach. My first online crush. Enchanted by, the witch. But while i still sit from afar.. I will bask in the euphoria of thy birth. Pray that you live life fulfilled. Before thy journey beyond mother earth. I will pour the wine of friendship. On glasses of your smiles. Toasting to a new phase of relationship. Till the en...

Favorite

I am your favorite, Dear Humanity. Spawned from the ashes of uncluttered dust, I have become the enigma, you discreetly adore. I am your best. The hunts-woman from winters war. Indispensable like the air you breathe. I am the one, all villains abhor. I am the cacophonies of peace and rhythms of noise. the one you call, the nightmares nemesis. I am your favorite, Dear humanity. The mother of generations yet unborn. © Danny El 14-6-2017

Of you...

I used to be the manager in a factory of dreams. Where imaginations were also produced Until i met you. You made me resign without notice, with your beauty... ...now I'm jobless thinking of you. Probably I'll apply for a job, within your heart, as a farmer. I promise i will nurture it with Care        Tenderness and                                Deep Passion. I will also prune it of any weeds of doubt or disappointment. When should i come for an interview? © Danny El

A Drop of Ice

Near-translucent crystals Begins the festival of chills down my spine. A mild seductive moan in my bedroom at half past nine I opened the door My darling on top In doggy stylish grind F**king an old friend of mine. © Danny El.
