*W*hen children are born it's a wonderous thing. *H*earing it's cry opens mothering love. *E*very new heartbeat reminds us of spring. *N*ew life, new hope from creator above. *A*nyone being there around this place *C*herishes memories, store
My Love
She's out there, I know it.
True Happiness
Feeling a little philosophical this morning...
Unremembered
Written in a moment of pain and longing to get OUT!!!!
Never Letting Go
How we feel. A non-standard sonnet...
As You Lie Sleeping
Six hours time difference...
Help me
I am trying to earn some money. Please take a look.
Wherefore: A doubting God
It's one of three surprisingly dark meditations
Ozymandias
My favorite poem of all time :) Mostly because when you hear Leonard Nimoy tell you he is Ozymandias, the line sounds extremely epic :D
for those women viewers
for your viewing...
The Lost Love
I never though I could lose you I always knew you would never leave So I never let your love through And now all I can do is grieve To me you were my everything Nothing mattered when you were around For you there was nothing I couldn't bring
spectacles

the dancers form
I went to see a show of some modern Japanese dance. Very good.
Empty Words
Written on hearing of the death of a new friend's mother. Talking to her made me think of what it was like when my own mom died.
crossed roads
i don't know if this is done in other countries or continents, but it always touches me here in America.
enclave
the AP (artistic police): "Didn't you see that No Rubbish sign back there?...Lemme see your registration and poetic license please."
If Only
I am re-posting this out of curiosity, it was the first one I posted but it wasn't noticed, even though I think that it is my best. It is about my first love (as if you couldn't tell!)
For Her
The title says it all!
Battle Cry
I was on the beach, looking over the New York skyline thinking of 9/11 and these words came to mind.
For The Love Of High Places
If you don't think that there is something magical, even spiritual, about mountains, then you need to go visit one!
The Holy Warrior
It started out as a thought on the destruction and death in the former Yugoslav republics and then just sort of wandered! By the way, if you caught the Pink Floyd reference, then you are REALLY OLD!!! ;) Yeah, I know, me too.
A smile of Pure Delight
Comments would be appreciative
Divinity
God can not be seen because God nature is different from human. God did not make humanman in his/her image, but it is human who decided to make God in human image in order to give meaning to life.
THE COMMON LAW AND EQUITY
I wrote this poem in 2000 after I finished a course, 'Nigeria Legal System' in my second year at Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma where I read Civil Law. I found the blend of both edges of the law fascinating. This will be better understood by people who understand the legal system of the Commonwealth of Nations as well as Christians who understand what Apostle Paul meant by the Law and Grace in his epistles.

Sonnet VI – Slowly I Fall
Touch my world softly, so gently caressed. Give to me nothing, but what you desire; Spare me a whisper, and set me afire. You are an angel to this I’ll attest. All that I am is as I have confessed. You are the air and the life I require. Wind
to tell you "I love you'
I WILL WAIT UNTIL I FIND A REAL ONE..
the name you can trust
we are helpless to find our end..
dreams
dreams are like flowers

Heart Dead
This is about someone who has loved their friend for so long that they can not stand to let their love be with someone else. The person is then contemplated by the fact that the beauty of their love will not leave their mind, causing that person extreme anguish. I wrote this when I felt that even though it wasn't a serious experience for my ex, them being so lovey-dovey with someone else right before my eyes, was the greatest pain I have ever went through before. This is just my piece of amateur work, but it does express my true emotions even now.
Sonnet 17

my life
