I keep the gloomy nights
In my embrace,
And hide their crying tears
Falling like dews.
As the dawn is not that far,
I whip nightmares
And ride fireflies everywhere
For all to forget the blues.

Letters to Africa
Dear Africa,
What else should I say
that you have already known,
You see all that is happening around you,
yet, you fail to see what is going on through you,
How much more should I speak
......
Dear Africa,
Time goes by as I write more letters to you,
hoping you refrain from your ways.
Your mind is a World,
develope it, refine it to be beneficiary.
Look into yourself and see the mixed of darkness,
overshadowing the cloud and rains down droplets of wickedness to your fellows.
......
Dejection in life
Makes me more reflective
I feel relieved
As poetry turns effective
In the deep gloom
Engulfing all my happiness
With no blooms
In my utter hopelessness.
Hard days fly away
......
For caring? For helping?
I know a plea
Nestled in a request.
I know what I heard.
Should I feel remorse
When, once wound,
Gears turn?
He’s angry -
I feel it like a compulsion
