The Oracle's Corner
Poetry is the sight that gives the mind thought and the mouth speech.

Happy New Year
With the tireless oscillations of the clock's hands
The colour display of grey's
firmament
Moments passings change in an eye's
twinkle
Time gives credit to age.
Musings of shame and the adventures
of my fickle heart
Shredded hopes like shattered glass
The demise of a glorified era
Twelve months fallen, like fainting
dominos
Standing on this spot
Fading pictures of an elapsed empire
of time
The new year knocks softly
As though I had a choice over its
destiny
Enters another year
Modules of time evenly divided
Resolutions, checklists, diaries,
planners, reminders, memos,
Weapons for the journey
Time will elapse,
Seasons will change
The eventual passing of the year
would give fate a definition
My months may fall, but my lips would
eke out a smile.
THIS YEAR WOULD BE SPLENDID
Happy New Year Universe.

A FLICKER OF DARK
The joy of birth
Leaves the mind
boggling
At the scare of
death.
For as time marks
a beginning
So its tireless
hands
Tick to an abrupt
ending.
It is not death
that we should fear
But the sorrow
accompanied
By an unfulfilled
life.
In the darkness
of its clenched fist,
An abduction
sharper
Than the edge of
a crescent moon
The curtain falls
on an era,
Yet somewhere on
the sphere
Marks another
genesis.
In your seemingly
boundless,
Yet limited time
Your vigour and
enthusiasm
Was second only
to your will
For it takes
True masculine
strength
To beget two sons
Time has frozen
Darkness has
fallen
Your time has
completed its oscillation
But in your
demise,
We wouldn’t
suffer
Salty tears to
roll down
But heave a sigh
Of concordance
Because God has
called you home
Rest in Bliss

Gazie, a brother and true friend.

No Love
There’s no warmth in your body, no comfort
absorbed when I hold you close
There’s no smile on your lips, no motivation
to ply this vague journey called “Romance”
There’s no wonder in your thoughts, no
surprises to keep the suspense alive
There’s no magic in your touch, no reaction to
change my life status
There’s no fragrance from your skin, no reason
to come close to you again
There’s no melody in your voice, no cause to
break this ghastly silence
There’s no beauty in you, no reason to look
your way when boredom clinches my soul
There’s no rhythm in your gait, no reason to
walk beside you
There’s no spark in your kiss, no stimulus to
bring on the goose bumps
There's no joy in your presence, no fulfillment
in your appearance
There’s no absence in your absence, perfection
was missing when you came in
In the end I realize there’s no love for you

Somehow
Somehow I can't seem to hear you but there's communication.
Somehow my mind is filled with memories accompanied by fantasies.
Somehow my being is propelled to activity by the zest of love's reality.
Somehow my purpose for being a part of nature is larger than life.
Somehow, somewhere exists the reason that makes all my reasons reasonable.
Somehow you are the ONE.

Bruises
Itz the sight of my fulfillment
Pivot to my joy
The demise of my trepidation
Courage to change the world
Itz the reason I sing in the shower
I’ve found my place on the sphere
Slowly my joy dwindles
I feel dry and dead as a leaf
Like your ears, I’m a part of you
But you have no sight of me
Agony sips my strength
Draining the life off my feisty self
My brain is growing cold
With thoughts of you in another’s arm
I’m just a passerby
Slowly descending the height of my debacle
I’ve seen diversity in life
But my grief was conceived in joy’s womb
As I wait and watch, hoping and wishing
That my secrets are whispered to your heart
“I’ve always been here”
And there’s time no longer
In the end you’ll know
That you had my heart
But it might just become a memory
Then your tears will know no bounds
And I’ll be fulfilling my destiny,
Charting life’s course.

Fear is your heart's keep
Tears are dropping
Like candle wax melting
Evil is lurking outside the door
I hear the door rattle
The wind shivers as the night air
whistles
Blowing fear deep in your marrow
There is no reason for courage
For no mortal can stand the fright
Sit waiting, watching, counting the
seconds
To your delightful debacle
A terror long waited
Slowly sipping existence
This is nothing but the forerunner
For your true demise waits to take you
in slumber
Your screams are loud as a whisper
You slowly drown in a pool of
trepidation
You’re blessed with the curse of death
As the clock strikes midnight
You gasp for life
But your destiny is fulfilling
“knock knock”, it’s the end at your door
Slowly your life is drained
To an everlasting slumber
As the world whispers “adios”

Blurry Vision
Usually I would make my words rhyme
But honestly there's no time
The one who used to light my fire
Has tagged my being "Beautiful Liar"
In this case, I'm the accused
To a filthy rag reduced
Who exercises affection
For the lost souls of attraction
My life became a blunder
A feat that made me wonder
How I could throw in the garbage
The sunshine that locked me in love's cage
But this is what you get
When you remember to forget
That you're dealing with a girl's heart
Excruciating like the sting from a fiery dart
And I can't remember
What happened in September
Now I'm far away
Living life day my day
Everything I said was right
But you chose to take flight
This is the part where I stand aside
To watch you and let events slide
Heartache is never my mission
But you're struck by "Blurry Vision"
But honestly there's no time
The one who used to light my fire
Has tagged my being "Beautiful Liar"
In this case, I'm the accused
To a filthy rag reduced
Who exercises affection
For the lost souls of attraction
My life became a blunder
A feat that made me wonder
How I could throw in the garbage
The sunshine that locked me in love's cage
But this is what you get
When you remember to forget

Excruciating like the sting from a fiery dart
And I can't remember

This is the part where I stand aside
To watch you and let events slide
Heartache is never my mission
But you're struck by "Blurry Vision"
