Good Things
Good Things
After the poem Three Good Things by Jan Dean.
At week's end, I remember
three good things.
Maybe pencils, with their quiet apt of strokes
for a gravelly ground,
or a fading, fraying edge, or a feather,
or a pamphlet of zebra
stripe.
Maybe glass, for when it never lets me miss the details,
the detail behind a history,
haberdashery sho...

I Accept My Reality
I accept
All the things around me
The harsh warmth of an Indian afternoon,
The confused colors of the evening,
Sheer darkness of night regardless of moon,
And everything between the end and beginning.
I have been trying to change my life,
But all I could change was my perspective.
I can’t seem to change the story, Though I attempt to shift the narrative.
I’ll fulfill m...

The Secret of the Sunflowers
The Secret of the Sunflowers
is one that my mother knows.
How their gaze forever follows the sun,
the more that they grow
and glorious they become!
The late afternoon shadows lay forgotten behind,
they remind me of where our mother taught us
to always turn our minds.

Some day
Some day you gonna say, some day you gonna stop
Some day the world will listen, some day they gonna stop
Its better to look in bright, so it make you shine
Mix all ingredients of guide, So that it tastes like wine
Follow your heart, follow your dream
Follow your happiness which makes people scream.
Because
Some day you gonna say, some day you gonna stop
Some day the world will liste...

No Reason To Sigh
And so what if I'm empty inside!
Happiness still has a place here
There's certainly plenty of space here
for Joy to reside
That's what, if I'm empty inside.
And so what if I've nothing to lose!
With little worth keeping
There's more time for sleeping
Or whatever I choose
That's what if I've nothing to lose.
And so what if I've nothing to gain!
That's hardly an onus
Seems more like ...

Dear Mum
Here's a little something i'd like to dedicate to my mum <3
Dear Mum,
Your smile was warmer than the sun.
A glow that now twinkles amongst the stars,
Every time I look up, I forget all the scars.
I remember our long walks,
All those calls with endless talks.
You were my beacon of positivity,
My foundation and stability.
With every passing cloud,
I prom...

Whatever You Do
If you don't like it how it is
Stop complaining.
Stop praying, start living
Stop hoarding, start giving
Stop wanting, start enjoying
Stop waiting, start playing
Stop asking, start finding
Start hoping, stop minding
Stop whatever you are doing
Start changing

Sweet Talk
Smooth like honey,
Your words
Slip through my soul -
Sweetening the bitter
Soothing the sore.
Your Word
Like honey, nurturing
My bones.
I have a craving in my soul,
A sweet tooth for Your own.
"Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones." Proverbs 16:24
By Faith Olajuyigbe, author of Words of Faith

Circumambulation
I May Be Wrong
I may be wrong but I’ll say it anyway
surely that is the point.
Jung’s theory of circumambulation says
“Give it a go”
Follow that glimmering thing
that interests you
down the path of development.
Heed the call to adventure
let new parts of you manifest.
Be the fool as precursor to
the Jedi master.
It’s an error ridden process

Mindful Monday
Can we be brave and kind,
Strong enough to speak our mind?
Can we be mindful of the words we say,
As we go about our busy day?
I challenge you to try this week,
to reflect on every word you speak.
Will you be kind and gentle with yourself and others?
Friends, strangers, sisters and brothers.

Colonel Tom
Happy 100th Birthday Colonel Tom
What a legend Colonel Tom has become
The hearts of all our nation, he has won
To walk a hundred laps was his only goal
At 100 years old, it should have taken its toll
But Colonel Tom took it all in his stride
Filling isolated days with cheer and pride
The news of his challenge travelled far and wide
The media shared his story, prou...

Darkness will turn down today
Emptiness now seems to weigh,
Stubbornness now waits at bay,
Abruptness now gives a way,
Darkness will now turn to day..
Brightness soon looks to grey,
Firmness soon falls to prey,
Correctness soon starts to sway,
Darkness will now turn to day..
Busyness would light the hay,
Craziness would start its play,
Promptness would go away,
Darkness will now turn to day..
But
Braveness...

Astral Breadth
A trestle table set with content and classical elements
places a coven with arenose intent in a safe space
their minds set on causing change—present occurences canvass Mandala by way of effect.

washing away strands emblazoned in ever apparentness
accommodating silver lining fringe wherein proper golden ratio leaves

the girl with the curves wishes she was thinner
the girl with narrow hips wishes her breasts were bigger

the girl with clear skin wishes her freckles would disappear
the girl with intelligence wishes she was pretty
the girl with beauty wishes classes were easy
the girl with straight hair wishes it was curly

The fall and rise of paradise.
Positive energy should come from within,
That is the only way to begin,
Climb your mountain bit by bit,
It's the only way to get you out of shit,
The first step is the hardest,
The second is a little easy,
But the third step could make you bright and breezy,
When you find you have risen to your first destination,
You may have words to give to the nation,
Carry on what yo...

I love your positivity
With all this current activity
One day you'll get back to some tranquility
Until then screw any negativity

Choices
Life stasis. Rut. Climb out, escape
Decaying detritus.
Manifest new reality
Through positive action.
Hesitant. Awaiting Order.
Unable to instruct
Self to act. External control
Required to achieve goal.
Observe: written word, adventure -
Other’s experience:
Second hand life – passivity’s
Bespoke, known creation.
Disallow life’s victimising

Dynamis
Take action.
Strike a blow.
Ring the anvil.
Pace. Drive. Beat.
Be dynamis. Perpetual origin.
Chain reaction ignition.
Strike hot iron. Watch hammer-sparks ignite satellite flames,
Orbiting original impetus: You.
Gravitational fulcrum.
Nuclear furnace.
Primal energy.
Ignite your world with positivity. Watch the wildfire.

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
Faces are dull, lamps are lit,
The room is black and I am alone,
Dreaming something but reality is different,
I don't know what's going to happen
I didn't know what will I do
Stand upon the stool
Or see in a mirror like a fool,
But I said to myself, 'I have to be cool'
Nothing seems to be different,
As I follow the same me,
I have no difference nor glee in me.
Everyone has...

Stuck
Stuck
Sit back with the captain and Jack
they all walk in
they found me wet with all the K-pins
knocked down
get back up
got to get back up
I can see my soul is all but stuck
I got my meds, my sickened head
I got my life to get straight
the rest is what I make
the rest is what i make!
with never picky taste
if I’m gonna be yours lets get away

Not all bad
Not all bad
I’m out on the front porch smoking
scratching forgotten dreams from my baldness
coffee makes me happy
even a little light breeze helps
today is gonna be different
yesterday was so so
I got through it
Some of it hurt
she was civil
that is always a plus
I miss my babies
i regret my choices
yet the porch is my place
my ground
what is i...

Trading Places
Time to sever all alliances
shades dark which depict
No purpose those serve
and independence restrict
Had my share of amends
beliefs now must uphold
Fix impending glitches
skewed life thus remold
All of robbed past verve
it’s time now to beget
Seek out fresher vistas
sans cause for any upset
In environs carved out
conductiv...

dawn will break again
None be grudges nursed
or space for any disdain
Where vales be pristine

The Brink
On the face all is cheery
deep within bit suspect
With answer writ large
sans effort don’t expect
Coming on to very edge
wonder if be able to fly
All efforts withstanding
but own beliefs I’ll rely
