Quick question: As a creative person, how do you decide when a piece of work is 'finished'? As a creative person I'd like to think no work of art is ever finished. I think in the end artists are a guide trying bring things into being from a world of pure and unadulterated beauty. The quality of the work of art depends on how good a guide the artist is. But in the end as guides, artists can only do their best in the job. It's basically like any other job of that description,…
Book Review - Die Empty Hi guys,I just read a book and wanted to share some thoughts about the book. It will be difficult and cumbersome to review all the chapters of the book... But I will advise that we get the hardcopy of this book to once a while glance through and draw from the well of wisdom of the book. The author Todd Henry titled the book DIE EMPTY... *We must not die full of our Best locked up in Us.* *The most valuable land in the world is the graveyard.* *In the…
If you let me Would you let me Come to you involuntarily As the crabs adorn The wet shore of an ocean Would you let me Crack your ribs I am the tender of your rostrum I am that comic spine Therapeutically laying layers of laugher in your mouth Would you let me Fumble with your humbleness For you whom I have bestride an ageless desires I tell you solemnly That if you let me I'll pluck the left eyes of Zuma rock For you to see the wailings of a people I'll cajole the ocean to…
Yearning for green leaves Yearning for green leaf A yearn for green leaf Bribed me into the forest wears Anew with redeemed photosynthesis This forest; a forest of a million wonder I took solace In the charms of the stream With provocative waves Sailing rhythmically Mimicking the forest gentility As time humbles its armory There still, a tonal canary In glaring garb Sung volume of poetry Seeking meaning from the squirming clouds And in the ozonification of the leafy guard…
Casually I thought of you As my muse And furious memories short lived in the delta of my minds Came cameoed Casually I ask you To purge me with your luminous strides For I know There's a Sun In your eyes That I shall stripe naked To shelter my grief And to fuel my anxiety Casually I saw the clay in your expensive bowel That baked stung muds of wisdom To shelter my determination To survive in the crevices of Lewd saints Casually you mirror through time And the reflection…
KEY If I had my keys I'll unlock that tether of desire Latched to earth's fury eyes If I had my keys I'd padlock Every threshold splotched in the embers of my veins For those who would say my name There's a mint of favour Tranquil now To quench their miseries To answer their mysteries If I had my keys I'd let loose The voices long silenced in metres of conspiracy conspicuously laid in acre of wayward policies And if I had my keys I'd be that mobile male Whose libido spurs…
CORONA - The Mistress of death I've always imagined it as a beautiful sophisticated woman, Wild, dyed green hair Obsidian eyes which pierces through your lungs, not your soul A sophisticated social worker She deals with only the rich The influential are her favourite patronisers She has spread her wings of destruction all over the globe Physical contacts bring people down to her knees Ignorance is her favourite weapon Now, she doesn't dig her fingernails of death into the…

Maxwell *A book is the most loyal of all friends, I love every great books and they have helped me become part of who I am today.* *Reason for this book (Make Today Count By J. Maxwell) being a great one at this time is because though it was written way back 2004, but it's relevance to our daily living at this time is undeniable.* *The premise of Make Today Count is summed up by its subtitle, "The Secret of Your Success Is Determined by…
First to Crawl His silence now aches your heart His audibility brings no more Inspiration– Sounding through the air and brings you sadness His audacity now irritates than any other thing. You may look back the lane of memory Check your balancing; check the imbalance too... What is the cost of error That besets you like a phenomenon? Check! What happened to those promises? What transpired to gift you shame? What cut short your journey together? What is behind your decision–…
Can you see the light? Many sleepless nights Different voices Interrogatively draining me Wanting to pull me down Can’t feel the magical voices anymore They are gone, Gone with my peace I’m losing it all now, I’m lost in the battle of life Not having a ounce of strength Almost getting burnt in the inferno, An elusive blackness hanging my feet My young soul waiting to be smothered; I definitely can’t get out of this. All sacrifices gone, A lifetime scar I’m sure no one wants…
Epileptic Darkness *EPILEPTIC DARKNESS* Finally it's gone for good, We enjoyed it in our hood; Vociferating at your nanosecond. We miss you our dear darkness, And the black stars keep celebrating your existence. The whites got you for free, And we tried to buy you by force, Still you were taken away from us And in the locusts we trust; That you'll one day be returned to us. We enjoyed using an erratic version of you, Parcels of curse sent to your vendors on daily basis, Our…
Paradise for the Grendels Standing on the hill of Kilimanjaro, Enduring hardship for centuries, Forcefully uprooted from Savannah, And crying for the moribund race. Remembering the bootless slavery, Discourteously displaced and separated from loved ones. Instill in us, disdain and dishonor. Many dreams crumbled, Hmm! Dreams were traded like commodities, Rights, trampled upon, Lower classes, made labourers and creators of wealth for the upper classes and the Europeans.…
On a Good Day On a good day, Adorned with skimpy clothes should bring creases to his forehead, No longer a little girl carried high on his neck On a good day, She should have brought out her maternal claws, Tearing out the offending garments, On a good day, I should have been warned of my blossoming rounded cherries, Competing with mother's sagging papaya, On a good day, He shouldn't be leering at me with slimy, oily looks, After hard labour in his equally oily shop On a…

Lockdown The woman looked out the window. The empty, silent street was a strange thing at that hour. Months ago, the children were leaving school and running to the central square. From there came screams, deafening sounds of children's throats and electronics. The strange thing was not the silence, but the loneliness that came to be heard, felt, as if nothing was left out there. It was as if, from one day to the next, everyone had gone, disappeared, died. Or it wasn't just…
Cold Silence *COLD SILENCE.* Sporadic gunshots echoed from a distance. The terrorists were back terrorising again. Nicole and ejiro took to their heels in search of safety...just then Nicole heard Ejiro's scream. “Her body fell to the ground, the warmth of life stolen away by death’s cold embrace. Synced with her impact to the grass coated ground was the lament of Nicole, who promptly sprinted to her friend, ignoring the fatigue in her swaying legs set in from the ongoing…
