Reverie

I wanted to be sure this was our cottage              
Beside the Caribbean  sea countryside              
On the foothill of the beautiful Rome                        
So that we can make it our home.                                                               

We would walk between the long stars by the sea                                          
And feel the night magic in the night air
My hands locked by yours,on and over your hips                                          
Like a holy knot of togetherness                        
We would fly like moths at the end of a river                                                  
Waylaying those flare sparkles from the Adam’s ale                                        
We would bolt us in an empty bottle                        
So that we can capitulate  and surf over the waves                                        
We would voyage the woods                            
And collect berries in jars and goods                                                    
We would build fantastic citadel on the foreshore                                          
And carol together in a choir.                                

Call it an act of togetherness my love                    
While walking to the cathedral by Rome            
I said ur name to the evening stars                            
Clearly pronouncing it to the air     
To append lustre to the brightness.

Ramadan Kareem

I too dream, not with a greedy loft filled stomach, exhaustive daydreams Not like churl boss, not like rich beasts I dream like dead rivers do, of things lost,  irretrievable, I dream of the future, a history of time incalculable. All living beings by birth are free to live on Earth, But since we had a breath; caged until the cupidity's lust. Awful are our bodies and caged are our souls, Chained we dream to live and die for the caged goals. The shackled humanity, drenched in hunger, poor and death. The lousy world is starving with inanition Renunciation of human sanity Decays the boats, roots and the waning moon. The world descended to the pandemonium But God was there, The Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful. Then God leaned over me, and in my ears whispered words of sweetness As the sea that enfold a brook That runs down to him, he enfolded me With writhe body and heartsore soul of despair Said, "Beggar woman who once had a home, Mother of drowned babies, su...

Above The Empire

Onliest man who lay hands on self and figure fingers on behalf; With the fore and middle knuckled on the cheekbone; Is the god of thoughts, with a blade on my throat? Is it most of you, but, not always me? To get right I come to you; When I'm finna interview. When I'm finna party. When I must stunt, I come to you- So sometimes it's me the Lionheart, face like stones,      Except when you are woebegone. Sometimes it's you who battles the whole hour,      But I line up the empire. No matter how dark the eyes shrink and how the skin to the brink. No matter how soft my body or how many eyes find it and peel, When I walk in destiny, I am all above the empire.

Hallelujah

I was a crabgrass in a farm Like a jinx to the barn I was a filthy wretch to the realm Like a vile berry in the lawn I was a soot in the purity Like a bugger of maturity But, I dreamed of you, stood upon a little hill Stygian eyes of shy dove winked in the sun You dazzled like a ruby stone Leisurely and equisitely steriled my sins With your luminous air of heaven Oh God ! Your white wig over black mane  Butchered my sins and dark fame Why were u hiding above the skies? Without turning me from pale to purple You are my hallelujah !!
