AM A SLAVE
(Poesia)
8-02-2006
by Johnbosco Ken Amakeze
To the time and tide
And of its ripples and waves
That sweeps our ocean of being
Within walls of our cosmic ball
I am a slave in chains
Rowing aloft in uncertainties
Like a vessel blown off course
More pain and less joy
These bawling...
Blood on the waters
(Poesia)
20-03-2008
by Johnbosco Ken Amakeze
And the monsters ravenously stirred
Beneath the bleeding raging waters
Snarling and sniffing for the fleshes
Of the ill-sacrificed victims
Drifting in ‘patriotic’ futility
That is nay the harvest of beasts
As crocodiles’ halves...
Cyber Invasion
(Poesia)
22-12-2006
by Johnbosco Ken Amakeze

Asphyxiated in sophistication
Of gruesomeness of cybernetics
And like locusts they besiege us
Minds having been invaded to
Reducible physicalists’ conceptions
Thus consciousness comes to be the

Concealed ‘neath the dim moonlit earth

Upon the stage of preceding dawn
Whereof the...

He hopes in the fruits of your life
So he gives you a...

(Poesia)
4-03-2006
by Johnbosco Ken Amakeze
Dedication: In redefining love
My heart is so burnt
Such that that flavor is lost
After you broke it

To bear having to lose you
`Tis my heart’s weakness
Would you turn again?
With those scintillating smiles...

As in my resolutions of the past
To soar in height and wave

To stand strong at sunrise
In spirit of my little best born
And never to fish in the skies

If I were a Bird
(Poesia)
28-07-2006
by Johnbosco Ken Amakeze
If I were a big black bird
I’d swim in the airy ocean
Of the cloud, and rise and fall
Like a tide ‘neath the starry sky
I’d my eyes tightly closed
Fearless of the storms and tempest
Of scudding cloudy ice-berg
Sail like peace
My...
It Could've Been Me
(Poesia)
13-06-2006
by Johnbosco Ken Amakeze
It could’ve been me
In the gusty chilly night
When all warmly, sheltered
But one in the wind
It could’ve been me
In the womb of the dawn
Caught by icy cold
With neither coat nor jacket
It could’ve been me
Pasturing on the...

*Baritone*
You’re the best song I e’er had
The sweetest song I e’er sung
The best sound my ears’ve heard
Serene soulful song I sing
*Soprano*
And when the sun rises at dawn
And the dews in sheen shinning silvery
Flowery fields...

Save the Queen

by Johnbosco Ken Amakeze
She’s swaddled in her cradle
Like the moon ensconced in the sky
In veils of immaculate rays
Fledges the babe in a pristine billow
The day in nightly webs beclouds
As tho’ pains would ever persist
Yet, brighter shall the morn be...
She Walked Away
(Poesia)
8-04-2006
by Johnbosco Ken Amakeze
She piped my glory
And called me her baby,
Sent lots of cheers
With kisses and roses
I too, in my part
Cherished in my heart
For she’s all intriguing
And dearly darling
Abstract love’s absurdity
And its blind credulity;
Spell...

The Apocalypse
Oh feller, fell no woods,
Fell no woods anymore
For sarcophagus, for here’s

Fell no tress in vain
Say to bury the dead
As in quantum we now die
So do we be quaffed off...
The Dancing Girl

27-03-2006
by Johnbosco Ken Amakeze

inner recesses of...
The Day You Came Back
(Poesia)
8-02-2006
by Johnbosco Ken Amakeze
My body lay on its skin
Wasting away in the woods
As my soul slumbered within
In the desert of ill darkness
Black breezes buzzed around
Whirling leaves upon me and sands
Death’s dust to dust to tend
Like the slain in the fields
So...
The Judges
(Poesia)
12-01-2007
by Johnbosco Ken Amakeze
The judges
They judged me to an edge
Of what alone subsists in them

As a suicide from a cliff
And I die every day and night
In the crosses in their minds
But they are them in crises
Of scourges that...

Peace to your Souls
So says the trader
As there toes’re gored
