CONSCIOUSLY SWEET ENTRAPMENT
By: Adeniyi Kunnu
I walk into your life
On a
blue juncture
The time I know not and the date I
can't recall
But I did walk into you and stare you
in the face
Both legs... mine... walked into you
and into you
The very recesses where your fear
lurk and your cheer buried
But I walked in and permissibly
rummaged through your emotions
Sieving to leave what is devoid of
ill temperament
Now I bask in periphery and depth of
your loving enrapturing
The tarsals and carpals of your
luminescence lighten my essence
I am brightened never to be darkened
no more
The rewards of my deliberate walk
into you yield colourations
But of all one stands out... and that
is the crimson defining the season
The one that transcends the date and
time of this enrapturing
Of this affinity ...this accord of
indescribable candour
I have walked into you and never
ashamed to say
That i am both painted and perfectly
sculpted
In this that i call 'The Consciously
RED Sweet Entrapment.
Happy Valentine

TEN MINUTES AGO by - Oko Owi Ocho
 |
| Oko Owi Ocho |
I lost you in tickles
Of six hundred seconds ago
My soul danced away from
Your music and lived in orchard
Of alien dance steps
Your drum can't beat to
Of six hundred seconds ago
My soul danced away from
Your music and lived in orchard
Of alien dance steps
Your drum can't beat to
If
We
Could
Have
Lovewalked
On the pavement with fingers
Stringed to each other's has become
Fascination of 'We could had'
But such imagination is lyric of
Six
Hundred
Seconds
Past
Ago
You could have been the heal
To my love's ill, the only
Cure that unshackles my heart from
The anguish fever of emotions... But
Those are distant imageries woven by
An amateur poet growing poetrylessly
Days and months worked with
Cutlasses and hoes to heap you
In my heart but how strong
Seconds could be in reaping out
Your yet-to-be
Ripe seeds
Flushed into
Echoes of----a
Distant past
Where my eyes would not blink to
Sleep nor my thought stops a second
To linger in thought of you
Ancient serene echoes of your laughter
All have been noosed in death den
Of
Yester
Minute
History
When thoughts of you dangles breathless
Six hundred seconds ago
The day walked away for
The noble accepted show
Of night
Now
There is a black out of you
In just ten minutes.

FEAST OF WORDS - FIST OF WORDS 12-12-15
THE POETRY COURT support creativity and we strongly believe that one day poetry will be rewarding...
The theme “FIST (FEAST) OF WORDS” was
derived from the United Nations Human Rights Day which is observed every
year on 10 December to commemorate the day on which, in 1948, the
United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights.
We believe that the power of words,
wielded by writers in all the literary genres, is very important in the
entrenchment of human rights.
The festival will celebrate words, and
the many forms in which humans have lumped them for meaning – poems,
songs, stories, speeches, drama
If you want your picture designed for the WRR Festival (like that of (KIS) Kukogho Iruesiri Samson's profile picture on facebook) just inbox him...
