The harmless storm


It hasn't been any different from what I sought,

That bottle of oil my wife had bought

To save our son we gracefully begot.

Borges was our patrimonial argot

But "He" asked, "Is that all you've got"

Who then is He?

The man who baptized we.


"He" represents all false prophets,

Who studied the holy pamphlets

And to amass for their own pockets,

Deceive the religious illiterates

To unbind any ties with soul mates

Hence, sanitizing their thinking cups.


This is how we lost hope,

Our faith in him was so dope

Trusting he could help us cope,

But Rev Father Corona was an expired coke

Who had semblance of a good Pope.


You have a child with deformity we were told,

A son of about thirty minutes old,

Being our first time is why we felt cold

However, if Fennel and I were then bold

This story wouldn't today unfold.


With nurses mimicking the unfortunate road he plied,

Its Iris appear red, brown, yellow like dyed.

Simply, our kid was declared a one-eyed

As the doctor made retarding sighs

While examining his left and right eyes.


Amidst fear, panic and fury,

And a child in my arms like armoury,

We left without hearing the doctor's caution,

That sunlight was a blend concoction

Locally used in such a simple situation.

UnWILLING to Wail

To them all who fail to fall, The frail who don’t wail, Who smile to sad e-mails, Just because they’re males. I know a man who loves One that eats with gloves Starving just to feed his own Yes, everyone at home he owes. I know a strong man! Not for his muscles and biceps But for always saying “I can” Without knowing the precepts. Everyone looks up to him But when he looks up Even the lights onto him dim And doors begin to shut. I know this boy now old; Doing just as he was told “Men don’t cry so be bold” He swallowed his pains And bound all emotions chains. He must in sadness give out bliss? In darkness must he illuminate In drought he was the waterfall  When the rains came, he was last to drink. He sleeps at dawn and awakens same Goes insane to make his family sane He must be frugal and yet extravagant  In all, he dares not say I can’t.  No body cares he gets the courage. Yet if death defeats him in marriage, They awake early in the morning  Not for lack of sleep du...

LIFE’S Package

Today you call me peaceful… With me you feel so cheerful…. But this hair you see today… Could lose color sometimes. This dimple will shrink one day, As nimble as it may. So shall this smile, Not last for a long while. This beautiful face that stole your heart, This calmness in our daily chat. When life decides to take all away, Will you boldly dare to still stay? This kind man you so revere, Whose gifts keep you near. One day life can steal his car, Leaving him with just an attire. When the kindness has finished, And the night drives diminish. When life takes away my packaging, Say you will still be with me. When anger comes from the unknown, As age is dipping my curvy hipbone, When my height bends my back, And without support, I am stack. Will you be there? Will you still be here? Will you stay with me? <amp-auto-ads type="adsense"         data-ad-client="ca-pub-2214510780832889"> </amp-auto-ads>

The GENESIS

The antithesis of saying goodbye Is the Genesis of embracing goodness. The latter is welcomed in finesse, But the former is hard to witness. A mother’s heartbeat of oxymoron, Contrasting her grandchild’s nephron. All aimed for the same good result.  Such is life; like sugar and salt. A wife’s long awaited embrace, A husband’s lonely footsteps on foreign terrace. When the saying “I miss you” Now sounds fainter than hue. A gap is about to be bridged, Yet other bonds are rigged. A time to miss an uncle, Like a pain in one’s ankle. Grandma had urge to cry, But tears so short and dry. Kids yearn for time to run fast, Adults share memories for the last. Just like a dream but we saw it all, Entering terminals big and small. As if just going for a stroll, Until the pilot took control. Yes, God took the wheel, And now the dream is real. A family reunited together,  By faith and none other.
