Ah...You Just Don't Know
You just don’t know
How I always watch your moves
I’m happy to know you’re doing fine
Even without me by your side
You just don’t know
How I dreamed of spending a moment with you
Reality shouts “This is a fantasy”
Because you’re a million miles away from me
You just don’t know
How I envied those girls around you
I’m so insecure for I am lack of beauty
And there’s nothing you can be proud of me
You just don’t know
How I’ve counted those sleepless hours
Wishing to be with you in my lonely nights
Only to find that you’re in other's arms

A Day Without You
A day without you
Is an eternity without living
It is a time without need,
It is a moment without giving.
It is you, without me.
A day without the sun
Is the day that I don't look into your eyes
It is when I don't hope or wish,
It is when from the world that I do hide.
It is when you, that I truly miss.
A day without a flower,
Is the day without any inspiration
It is the day when beauty is dead,
It is the beginning of my frustration.
It is when my hunger for life is no longer fed.
A day without you,
It is a terrible day indeed

Volenti Non Fit Injuria
did you not let me enter
your door when i simply pass by
looking for my
destiny, did you not call my name
when i was thinking of someone else
that one so beautiful and yet
did so much harm
to my heart
and then you kiss me when i was drunk
with pain
promising to heal my wounds
and then after so many years
when i was awakened from such stupor
i took the courage of telling you
there was never a pint
of love
never, never, never and then you ran away
and jumped into the raging river
shall i be then be made responsible for such

Hypnotized By 'Christianity
They have said I was clairvoyant.
A psychic.
A sage of wisdom
And one who has the 'vision'.
However,
I look at it like this...
I do not regard garbage on the streets.
People passing by and trashing up their neighborhoods.
I don't find showing disrespect received and spewn
By children barely out of diapers as cute!
I don't find this obnoxiousness,
As a form of their artistic expression.
And I think anyone hypnotized by 'christianity'
Is responsible for allowing this ignorance to dance...
Without a sign of it being soon to be dismissed.
Not one time have I used the assistance,
Of a crystal ball.
Now I am called a 'visionary' because I have seen these things!

Socialist Jesus
Revolution is dead,
buried next door to God
I Got his son's autograph,
at the souvenir shop
You can buy him on T-shirts,
and black duffle bags
Pin his sepulchral image,
on white dormitory walls
While rehearsing old prayers
Of old liberalisms brand
From a barging philosophy
In a consecrated ideology
Socialist Jesus
the second coming of '53
He road on a motorcycle
to the front page of history
Helping Amazonian Leopards
and Miners strike in Chile
His Pilate were black suits

The Eagle And The Man...
like an eagle one soars and tries
to scuttle for an island where it may nest
and lay its eggs
hoping for the cliffs and
some sticks and trunks of deadwood
wandering if there is
a monkey for dinner to start with
none so far attracts the beginning
of greatness
there is no height and there is no
sound for prey
the eagle wanders dissolving in
a far horizon
the man stays foot under the big tree
envious of the searching trip
unable to dissolve itself in his
chosen horizon

(Africa poems) Unnatural frontiers
Unnatural frontiers
These artificial borders
They cut the womb of the mother
Land into these disjointed parts
Did you hear what they say?
Here too many failed states
Have mushroomed! Dictators
Like pests are killing the people
Africa! The oracles are not content!
These artificial borders and these
Unnatural frontiers were not there
In the beginning Oh Mother Africa!
What is South Africa? How dare you
Name a country after a direction?
Mind! There is a long stretch of wire
Some colonialist administrator put it
There on purpose now how can you, Oh Africa?
Tell the whole world that is your border?
The world was free to roam in unhindered!
What's so equatorial about Equatorial Guinea?

What Is Poetry?
A language of the heart
Its touch of words immense!
The emotions it imparts
Bears truth, or some pretense.
However read, it connects
With a message there to show.
Of myriad thoughts or objects,
In poetic lines they flow.
I have no vain expertise
I just love Poetry with passion,
And my words may be amiss
But purpose there finds fruition.
Yes, anyone can dance
To the tune of Poetry!
Inspired, find there romance
Or friendship and harmony.
