On A Poetic Break

For the next few months, I'll only write poetry in my mind...

Eternal Wellaway

Poised in its fate,
Thy heart bequeaths
With sheer gloom…
For thy spirit lives
In a fortress touched
With devotion and all
Hex of blessings.

Thy mortal soul tholes
In thorns of whilom tears,
Thine puissant gardyloo of ruth
Bends light shun by the fie suns.
Sith thine fall of grief,
Thy heart knows no love,
Thy soul burns in odium,
Thy mind sees no day.

Shattering sweven,
Broken hope:
Fear gnaws thy joy
And I slumber in its darkness,
With endless pain
Thou wast without a heart
Is what thou hast become.
Thou dost a heart for thee?
Thou be’st a slayer of thee!
Thou aye, thou…
Gaze into thy eyne?
Kiss thy wish with glee!

Dawn of Meaninglessness

One by one
My acid tears fall,
Like hail they fall,
Who told the night to kill?
Lifeless veins of lost time
Steal the verve to breathe,
Without meaning it takes life.

Blood on my mind,
Fear on the floor,
This sorrow is my own,
It pours out leaving chills
And a void of torment,
For the life that once was,
For the child that once cried
Time has burnt her heart
And eaten her memories...
Without cause it kills.

The promise to reminisce
On the bright days we touched,
The young life you lived,
You sit crying on the shoulder
Of the angel with dark wings.
Forsaken by life,
Treasured by strife,
Mothered by this knife,
Yet loved by grief.

Still darkness rises
Like dew its stab will die,
Eternal silence befalls,
Sleep my fallen child,
Dream like a nightingale
And hold still your heart
In this silent gale of dead
And forsaken emotions.

One day...
Your heart will beat,
Like before your eyes
Will dry and bare witness
To the beauty of yore,
The ache of your soul
Will seal with a life unbroken.

Hearts To Kiss (Tanka)

A sensual warmth,
Covers soul with honesty:
Heaven within me.
Hearts cleansed in fine honey,
Beats but with one strong rhythm.

Divine Rising (Haiku)

In sheer blue skies,
She stands with pride of the gods,
Her beauty I like.

Our Little Immortality

Cascading emotions reign
And soak our hearts in its gain,
Tears trickle down with pleasure again...
As pain divulges a fresh verve of what begun,
A seed, a souvenir of time: this is an endowment of our union.

With a weep of joy
She is revealed with much awe,
She is our endearing toy to cherish without coy,
Years past, days to come we shall embrace her warm say,
Scent of frankincense marks the hour with an endless memory.

In her eyes truth lives on,
Her mind so pure lures grins like the moon’s,
Charming giggles blur our tongues with words unknown,
She speaks glee and flees with mirth; wobbling with every angelic stride’s rising,
Delightful hymns from a world unknown
Yet ones’ soul rhymes in life’s howl for continuation.

Futile Beauty!

When the moon slept,
We wept more,
I wept endlessly,
Even the sun does not have a beauty as her’s,
Her voice mistaken by many for a fine harp’s tune,
Your body admired by all the men in the streets,
A mind only loved by me; the victim of your heart’s numbness.
Your heart cold as steel stole the only warmth I have.
My pride, my wife, and my soul you were in my dreams.

When your eyes closed never to open again
I wept more,
More than everyone you knew
The most expensive jewels cannot match her beauty,
No woman can weigh against the splendor she held;
Her slender hips,
Her luscious lips,
Her immensely proportional body:
Is the pride of a mindless woman!
She was such.

To die in your heart I wished
Tomorrow's promise broke
Today’s misery is all you left
And I kept my heart broken when you lost you.
Unlike the diamonds she wore, her beauty is mortal
Her mind tainted by the wounds of self,
My morn remains unheard at your funeral,
My tears are unnoticed in this rain you’ve left me in,
A hollow heart you had,
A soulless body you carried,
Now I wonder what I saw in you!
Was I blinded by your senseless figuring?

A Heart’s Glory (haiku)

Today I woke up,
Thinking about your beauty,
And the heart you hold.

I wandered for long--
Without you in my thoughts,
I felt dead inside.

You alone own my heart
With your glossy scarlet lips,
That I must taste.

Tomorrow will bring
Us much closer than ever
And I’ll kiss your heart.

So pure, so bare
Let the moonshine guide us
To where bliss is queen.

With you I can feel
And heal any known soreness,
My soul you can keep.

Irksome Emotion Device

Its irritating beats
Disturb my sleep...
Without reason it beats,
Like a silent drum, it beats.
Day by day it thumps
And I, a man gives birth to new passion
Whenever I see a queen of
Human splendor, it beats more
And more till I can no longer hide
Its orders that make me man.
Is it my weakness to dance
To the rhythm of its beats?
To my displeasure it beats
And brings me to my knees,
It cries without tears!
It loves that which I hate!
It lives where I don’t belong!
It breathes as I do!
Its weakness is my shame,
Its creed I shall wash in my blood.
When darkness falls...
It is the reason for my black tears,
It is all that I would never wish for
And I’d bestow my soul to exorcise
It from my heathen torso!

Why She Cries

Why do you cry?
Is it the sun?
Did it hurt you?
Is it the rain?
Did it wash your beauty away?
Did the angels forsake you?
Did the night steal your name?
Why do you cry?

Does your heart ache when it beats?
Is it beyond your will to conquer your misery?
Who is to blame for your sadness?
Is it as hard as diamond to tame?
Why won’t you let me cure your soreness?
Why does your heart beat without cause?
Why do you always cry?

Gone is the joy your soul once held
A wound that will grow till infinity
Is all that you’ll ever have...
I wish I can embrace your sorrow as my own,
But my heart belongs to another.
Is this why you cry?

Ashamed of The Sun

A straw into a mind of an awesome summer wonder
Is all my soul seeks in the light of day,
Upon thy shiny skin, it ashen thy sight;
I see not its splendor.

Beaming its odium upon thy mortal soul...
To rise above its fright and kill its core
Is to free yourself from the hands of pain,
Again hearts it shall turn into stone,
Eyes shall drain in its radiance
And souls shall know no love for day.

A fight brought upon by the gods;
A battle between moon and sun will bear more
Sorrow and give birth to no tomorrow,
Galaxies from beyond our own will witness
The age of lifelessness...
The hearts of us will cast not tears to quench
The fire that burns when the victor takes his stand.

Without fear we shall be
Stronger without the sun,
We shall embrace this darkness
Like our child who brings mother to smile...
It shall be,
Man will seek his soul beneath
The ashes of the defeated moon,
His voice beyond the stars,
And his mind in the belief
He holds dearest...

A smoldering kiss shall fall
And all known life shall stall
With the venom of its gall,
Man will question the heaven's wall,
The weak shall fall in this war
And blood will spill in the sacred sand.
Sunlight will bear no life, no hope and harmony.

Sunken by its forsaken madness thy crust shall
Thaw in its fury rays of sheer terror,
I shame the sun that took our name!
I blame the sun that toots till my ears bleed!
Forever I'll lust for the sun that knows love for me!

Adulation of Harlotry Warmth

I seeketh a heart amongst thee,
Saviours of the darkest night,
Seeds of forsaken mothers...
Their bare grace of misery
Is the treat for this, this unfeeling heart
That lives in men’s lifeless chests,
It beats because it morns the fall
Of a love he kept for his sweet wife;
The lone reason for his strife.
By day, we shame them,
Yes, we hate them
And call them harlots!
Yet we live through their silver shadows
And embrace their disgrace with hypocrisy.
Their eyes hypnotise eyes of he that stares
At their iniquity; their only power over strong men.
In streets they wander,
In minds they wonder
Why they are who they are;
Mirrors of life’s essence.
We are to blame...
For we worship each stride they make,
Every curve of their cadaver,
We love like that of our wives.’
Is it because they satisfy our earthly desires,
Smire us with their priced love
And whisk our angst with delight ?
Cry not O’ beautiful one!
I’ll not forsake you,
I’ll hold you till daylight
And they’ll find us as one,
Like honey and milk we shall be,
Your lips as sweet as wine
I’ll kiss them like never before...
O’ bring glee to my lone soul!
Your eyes as warm as wool,
Are the pride of any woman,
In my mind, I’ll love you not
For it is to betray the quintessence
Of my feeling heart...
This is why I seeketh a heart amongst thee.

A Gory Enchantment

With death before my eyes
I sigh and hope it falls now,
This blood in the snow
Has been shed to relinquish
This hopeless devotion.
The darkness will embrace
My lust to burn in its kill.

A gory stain escapes
From my mind…these weeps
Will bear no delight.
Veins pumping man’s iniquity
Pours more fury in the heart
I once had…
Winds blown by the dead
Dry the gruesome fears
Of life’s long and dark trail.

With this disgraceful odium
Of a life gone wrong
I know I’ll die alone:
Grace will forget my face,
Death will give me one
And pain will offer me its
Promise of the twilight.
I’ll be forgotten by grace
And remembered by wickedness
With all its shame of night.

In this dungeon of spikes
I’ll bleed to slay
My inner desires
To end this thick carnage
My tongue only knows blood
My mind only sees tenderness
Nothing seems right
Here in the fortress of evil
The sovereign of the underworld
Speaks through my bleeding ears.
A heart charred by life’s
Deceptive nature
Will beat with the rhythm of
The dying flurry owl’s howl.

Doused in its spiral wrath
I cannot flee from this confusing supremacy,
My skin melts with this gruesome embrace,
Tonight I’ll feast upon the flesh of this eve,
As daylight stalls this wretchedness
The cracks of my mind smolder
The last bit of breath my soul had…

Embracing Death’s Woes

Frozen inside still I
Bleed from your broken kiss,
A touch of ice embraces me
With a soaring sting of
An eternal affliction,
This forsaken truth
You’ve embraced charges
With a rage of lifelessness,
I ‘m left powerless
With the tears that are
The fragments of my soul;
My fortitude is forever gone.

When love stands still
Life is lost and grief is gained
When a man cries,
It’s all because it hurts
His soul’s core to touch
A love he once had,
His tears will force the
Sunflower face towards
The moonshine
Her voice will be captive of
The ocean’s pressure
And she’ll die like the waves
Of her emotions…

This immortal emptiness
Nurtures its ruins when night
Overcame life’s splendor
And every endeavor
I took to keep us away
From sorrow’s claws…
In this endless soreness
Bore our futile child.
These Hallow feelings
Will be my only foe.

These tears cannot reveal
My angst of numbness
That took me captive
When your life was denied:
My will to be departed with you,
This shame of life pierced through
My hopes like a lance of knights
And stole my lone essence,
Now I’ve got to face
This war of woes on my on.

Not There Anymore

To hold you once more
I’d give my soul and
I can never let go,
If my heart can sing
It’d be a song of life
To kill this death of hope.
Every day I pray for you to
Lead me into the star gate
Of your paradise
Where nothing can hurt me
And evil stings not my soul anymore.
I lost me when you lost you…
Who will dry my heart’s tears?
Who will chase the demons
From my nightmares? Who?
With this cry, I wish
For your rupture,
I feel like a lost soldier fighting
A war with the gods of man’s making,
My weapons kill the innocence of life
My woes will jeer at me,
These wounds will not heal,
This grief will kill,
Till I kneel to its rule,
My heart will forever
Bleed with every little
Love I’m left with…
But why mother?

A Cry of Shame

Keep my tears safe
In your hands of healing,
My chaste soul morns
The loss of life’s meaning,
My heart will drown
In the pain of this façade,
My love, please kiss the poison
From my sunken veins
And heal the scarred tissue
Of my depleted mind.
Now and forever
Hold me close
To your heart’s fatal desire
Let me out of this sorrow
A stain of emptiness gnaws
My emotions whenever you
Walk away from my heart.

This infinite affliction
Is all that I have:
Every heart beat
Brings me closer to
This unending flame
Of a love’s death.
I walk with my head
Down ashamed of all
That I became when we embraced
This disgraceful life.
Let my tear warm
Your heart, my cry will last
Till you heal,
My broken hope is sunk
By the darkness of our existence.


Now my eyes are cleansed
By the bloodshed of this
Untold spiritual misfortune
Here in the darkness
The fright of torment
Will leave me for dead
This shameful fate
Will feast upon my
Last clout‘s cry to rise
Above this doom’s will.
My solemn wreath is
The only prize I deserve
For this traitorous love
My heart has fallen victim to.
I’ll remain without a name
Without no pain to tame
My empathy will wilt with shame
And die softly in a wrath
Of that which angels fear.

Kissing Hope Away

I open a chapter of my life
Its blank pages stall my hope,
My heart’s ink is dry
Like a lie its promise is broken,
In this rain pain shall reign
I’ll kiss it
I’ll learn to love it
And I’ll bond with its madness
Till my hope is no more

As I walk on the beach of the dead,
My footprints in its wrath fade like
The blank chapters
Of a life I thought I lived
If I cry I’ll fall
If I don’t try I’ll pall
Beneath the essence of my being.
Broken between these mortal struggles
If I could break these chains
To free my spirit,
To give my soul a last hope,
To breathe the love of man,
I could…

The stars in the night sky
Sparkle tears of bliss
They twinkle like eyes
Of a dying galaxy
Tonight the skies have no
Answers, no wish to grant
And no soul to save
This night will be it
The moment of truth
But it’ll come when
I’m asleep…dreaming cherry
Tears of my wrecked soul.

Why I Smile

Like blossoming lilies in the swamp
I live with life’s untouched pleasures
And fine leisure’s harmony,
Like the bees, I taste the honey
I make as I fly within its utter glee,
Filled with life’s glory
Earth’s bliss will bless me with more
Of this foray’s enchantment,
This craze will cleanse my worries,
A simple gaze into my frown
Breaks my hollow woes
And whisks my hazy days away,
Again the sun will shine
And the darkness of my heart
Will be no more…
The gloomy thoughts I hold
Will burn in the sun
My joyful tears will water the yellow daisies
Of my spirit’s mazy garden of truth,
My immortal seeds of bliss
Will grow till they touch the sky
Of my mind’s celibacy of sorrowfulness.
Today I’ll smile like yesterday
Because I have no reason not to.

This I Ask

My lord when I need you
My heart calls out for you
Iam your vessel, teach me
How to fly and sing like the angels
Show me the way and tell me everything
Will be fine, like it was when I was in mother’s
Womb, when nothing else but love mattered.

Hold me close to you
And heal my wounded heart
Show me the essence of man’s
Purpose in this world…
Lord take me away from this pain
This desire to be where you are
Show me life’s secrets.
Today I stand powerless
Only you can see the seethe
I hold, only you can understand
Me completely without any judgment.

As I close my eyes
I pray for you to light
My future with your lantern
Of the sanctified candles you hold
Anoint me with your tears of healing
Keep me away from the world’s evil
And forever I’ll live to love you
My dear lord.

Beyond Pain

I died long before time killed me
When life took my dreams…I died
If I die will they cry?
Will the day bawl to my fall?
Does life even care?
Time will not heal
Time will kill
There’s no time left for me
This reality should be one
With my last heart beat
As I hold this tragedy
In the valley
Of my own hands
They are broken
They are scared
From the wars of man
Whose intent is to please
His ego’s desire for power:
Does he not know that power
Is an entity of his mind?
Does he not feel the pain
Of my burning tears?
Will he ever know how it
Feels to be killed by the light?
This undecided life I live
Is here to haunt me
To maul me
To break me into bits
Of rabble which will dissolve
In the twinge of night.
My affliction will convene
With its unwitting scars
And forlorn delicacy.
When pain came to close
I died then, with my hopes I died

Keeper of My Heart

If my heart stalls
And loses its cause
She’ll lend me her’s
And if I lose my soul
She’ll pray to God
To keep it out of harm's way

When I’m thirsty
I’ll drink her sweet tears
She’s all I’ll need
To salt away my shredded
Heart’s fright,
If the forest of my mind
Starts to burn
Her whisper will tame the blaze
And I’ll hurt no more…

If I forget how to fly
Away from the affliction
Of this cruel world
She’ll carry me on her back
And together we’ll dash
To where evil lives not,
When my soul is cold
She’ll pluck out the feathers
From her golden wings
And cover my spirit with its
Warmth and divine essence.

If my blood should drain
A bag of her own soul,
She’ll offer, and I’ll rise to kiss
The tears off her face again
As I did before I began to bleed
This life away…
Every moment I cherish
And will remember
Till my last breath, I’ll always hold
On to her soft hand’s affection

In the night
When Iam all alone
Scared of my own childish fears
She’ll scream to chase
The demons of the pain I caused,
Morning will come with a smile
Whenever she’s here,
She alone has the power
To turn night into day
And pain into a pleasure
Of a hard-learnt lesson

I dedicate this poem to the most beautiful Zambian girl, Angie.

Queen of Queens

A mantle of trust
Here where I stand
Watching you speak
Waiting for you to peep
At the beauty I hold
Within this shell of a body
They all know Iam
You see beyond it
Your eyes stay locked
Looking at the soul they seek.

From your hair follicles
Down to your feet
Beauty is all around you
For you are the queen of beauty
Your soul is a container of fine emotions
Always there for our hurting
And divided minds
This I say to please you not
But to tell it like it is.

Your ever pure heart
Holds the sentiments
Of a true giver
You’re our queen
And we’re you kingdom
You rule over us with
Your unmistakable human beauty
A spirit of wisdom and
Unimaginable splendor are the
Words that cannot define you
As I sleep I know you’ll
Always be there to lead the way…


Another dedication to Angie.

Burning Tree

Fire falls so fiercely
Upon thee, a golden tree
Now she falls from the bruises
That has scared her lone mind
Now she cries for the sun
She didn’t touch.

Her stem think as soul
Breaks to relinquish life
She falls down to the earth
That once fed her
Now it sees her to her death
In her last breath
She prays for their forgiveness
For this disloyalty of mankind

She burns
But cries silently
And fears not a death
Written in life’s book
Maybe she’ll look
Above and rise to the moment
To kiss this shame of hope
To they that smolder her innocence.

The tears on her leaves
Her seedlings will live
A life that will last to see
Her dreams through
This foggy fate
A plea for a downpour
To undo this killing of life
Is all she’ll ever wish

Love Supreme (Haiku)

You are everything - -
That I desire and more,
You make life worth it.

In love let us be,
Like the bright sun we shine
With glory again,

In you I find peace – -
A true wife of mine you are,
For this, I love you.

Our hearts will beat
With passion and devotion
When we embrace truth.

My words are empty - -
My heart is filled with your love,
Soon I will explode.

Hold me close to you,
Tell me how I make you feel?
Teach me how to love?

Look into my eyes
They are meant to thaw your heart
With admiration.

With you, I feel blessed,
Your presence excites my soul,
Inside I am feasting.

Stay with me my love
Tonight we will make tradition
And touch our love.

My immortal lust
For you, speaks words I know not,
My heart beats for you.

Dear Life

Dear life,
You lied
You said you’ll never leave me alone,
You said pain will never touch me again,
Now look at the wounds of your making,
Because of you I can’t feel my heart,
Here I’m breathing this hopeless fate
What have you done to me?

Your eyes seemed so pure,
So right,
So persuasive,
Yet you fooled me,
You promised I had a little
More of you to last me till
I need no more of you,
How did I let you do this to me?

Your gipsy crystal ball
Bares a façade of my betrayed future,
I was shallow to fall for your hallow
Lies of a life I will never have…
Not a chance to say goodbye
Not a last glance at my wife,
Like the sirocco, you showed no mercy.

"I dedicate this to my late friend who I made on 14th December 2009...he passed on 2 weeks later RIP D.Womba."

A Home For Humanity

A place where bliss reigns
And happiness is rain
Is this a dwelling of the gods of a world beyond?
Where wishes are endless
And sunny days unending:
This is a home meant for mankind.

For the spirits in the sky
Who will fly so high
To thaw their pain
In this earthly desire
And to bestow their powers
In man’s own soul

Broken hearts that are
Drowning in fury will beat…
Beat like they did before the start
And end of this tragic epiphany
That is full of immortal
Struggles of make believe.

Tears of the fallen
And forsaken souls
Will water this dying
Lust for a true home
Where humanity
Will overcome the love for power
With the power of love.

When Life's Essence Is Lost

Deep beneath the sea
And all that I can see
Is a seam of fear and sin
A shame of a life unseen

These sores in my soul
Will guide me home again
Like yesterday I’ll cling to life
And eat off the affliction of my mind

My heart beats
But without a cause
Like a river flowing
Into lava, I live day by day
Hoping for the gods to grant
My wish…

Here in the dark
I lurk with my head down
Like a defeated Zulu warrior
My spirit holds on hope
To carry on
Fighting this forlorn
Of a life they ask me to live.
