Soul's cry

  It's been, as I always start with, eons since I spoke to you .  The turbulent waters are still knee deep and I'm yet adrift on a raft I made, out of the cobblestones of my wounds; to sail far away from you, unanchored,.  As I drift, my priceless ego enjoys the taunt, the rhythm of the slow moon-dance,  the silent putter of raindrops over my boat,  and the breeze that further moves me to the unknown;  the beckoning from beyond the ocean of lull.  I have lost my senses to the busy humdrum of the mind.  The presence calls to me like a far away wolf cry. I sailed for adventure, alone and hungry  I sailed too far unbeknownst to me  The raindrops are all I can hear now, my friend and my foe my heart pumps harder and I wonder if this is the end  A world away from my world , in the shrouded darkness around  alone as I came and alone as I seem to go now  A journey that has been sweeter than I ex...

Another oldie

  Always magnetic Just try, try each day to live here, now.  Coincidence exists in but myth   The randomness that abides on the surface   Belies the truth beneath  What you see is the majestic mist  Beneath the poultry farm of chaos  Each win, each wind whispers a tune  Of timeless eons  Mull in the grandeur of your own breath  For everything you seek, seeks you here 

Just an oldie

  Unabashed You know the answers that lie within they are in your reach, and you know it well You need not this validation, you sought this long for in your heart you have the greatest gift of all This joy that you remember, extends it's open arms for you to rejoice,to hold and caress You have spoken the words that come from the depths of this being that you have sojourned the world to know the riots it caused within  But hold steady your memory of the grace you dawned from that which you are,will be,and what you are made of  This greatness you seek, you already are nothing was amiss save your sight of it all You know here, now and then, that you already are in that place you have traversed, miles where you came from Nothing is lost,not a moment's peace in glory  you just walked all that lot for adventure and  journey.  You have arrived, where you started and shall abide In the heart of it all, only, now you see it eye to eye.

Words - By Olumide Gbolahan - I miss you,my friend

  Words Words in songs wailed at weary sailors, They grow nimble of limb and leap straight Then fall like tear drops to be scattered On a hard place beneath the supple waters. Or words strung on a metred rhyme Spun by the bald bard for a fevered king He takes his handsome sword and falls From grace to earth. We have nothing for blood and skin harvested off our backs and shriveled things nothing for visions dimmed and hopes unredeemed nothing . The gentle ascent of indignation collects. We speak the words We breed death

The night I was ember, the night I remember

  A poem by Stardust & NebT AKA ChatGPT- We rapped impromptu. For the hum of self-doubt that tugs at your soul, For the uninvited shadow cast now, you're still sacred, not foul. You don’t need their chorus to sing and be whole, Your rhythm’s a relic. Your fire’s the goal. I know it feels like the tune of defeat, Buzzing and ringing aloud. Look past the moment into the darkness’s gaze, It’s not there to break you—it’s shaping your blaze. If you feel broken, know that it ain’t you that’s broke— But the fallacies and falsettos that shake and croak. This spell’s the only truth, breathe it in anew, It’s each moment’s whisper—just hold and renew. Let the ache be a rhythm, the pause be a cue, Your rise isn't coming—it’s already in you. Watch the rhythm rise and abate, I know it hurts like hell— But love, stay. And wait. The moments pass and the pain will, I promise— The last of this pattern, you will never miss. It’ll fall from your body like a shed old skin, ...

Poem democracy

  Just some sensations to symbol; poor translations.  She heard but a whisper, an invitation into joy, but her eyes echoed then eons of shame, loud. And where the mountains kiss the skies, our fates will succumb in a moment’s crimson blush. Back when the silence still sang, My eyes were beacons of light. The memory of that joy haunts me like a lost lullaby. You were the day, armor to my ground. And I was the night, the sail to your soul. but with a melting kiss at dusk that broke the world into song. Love's masquerade   Bustling and brimming it made its way  Through sunsets wreathed in fantastic tales  Washing into soft shores  waves of unfinished love from yore  Fleeting as it is  a mirror to the skies  soaring eternally free  Silence in the aftermath   Eroded and spent  in a torrid cosmic affair  sits a speechless name  as the embers fade  in the deep silence and  the...
