"But maybe it's up in the hills under the leaves or in a ditch somewhere. Maybe it's never found. But what you find, whatever you find, is always only part of the missing, and writing is the way the poet finds out what it is he found." Paul Engle

Mad Scientist
Am a genius
Misunderstood in every aspect
One that can only relate to what i write
And not all that i read.
for when i talk
Its like ' Greek' to some
Gibberish to most
And for the rest
Who cares.
A genius indeed
My ideas on life are like a comic
Taken in for a while
But not easy to comprehend
Scoft at for being unenforceable
And frowned on for being Ideal
Perplexing for the few
And for those who get them
not in a century will that happen
is their constant say...
Now am locked away in ' my lab'
Not a science lab
But a thinker's sanctuary
to invent, discover and write
My ideas, your dark thoughts,
his macho tactics and her selflsh whims
All in one
Misunderstood in every aspect
One that can only relate to what i write
And not all that i read.

I DONT WRITE LOVE POEMS
No, i dont write love poems
neither do i write those spiting ones;
But i love love poems.
I have tried
But not failed, just given up
For when i write
I forget about love
And think about everything else
I don't write about him;
Nor about his eyes or smile
No i dont write love poems.
neither do i write those spiting ones;
But i love love poems.
I have tried

No i dont write love poems.
PS: I LOVE ME MORE
Am not being selfish;
Am just saying i love me more;
why not?
I have had me all my life
so why should i let you hit me
in the name of love;
why should l be stuck with your unfaithfulness,
your dishonesty,
No, i love me more.
for if i love me less
I will let you take me six feet under
And because i love you,
I will walk away
because,
PS: i love me more

Pleading Nature
I only learnt about the story of the scorpion and the frog, a few days ago. After someone did something really hurtful to me and the only explanation they had was, well, ‘scorpion and frog.’
The scorpion and the frog fable is about a scorpion asking a frog to carry him across a river. The frog is afraid of being stung during the trip, but the scorpion argues that if it stung the frog, the frog would sink and the scorpion would drown. The frog agrees and begins carrying the scorpion but midway across the river, the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both. When asked why, the scorpion points out that this is its nature.
The morale of this being that the behavior of some creatures is irrepressible, no matter how they are treated and no matter what the consequences. ‘The scorpion and the frog’ is just another excuse people give to explain human behavior. And I guess it does ring true. You see it in the actions of a ‘happily’ married man who cheats on his wife. Of a loving ‘best friend’ who sleeps with your boyfriend. Of relatives who wish you ill luck yet you’re the one paying their rent and buying their children clothes. In men of influence who have been corrupted by power and treat those beneath them like dirt, only to fall eventually.
Human nature is a mystery unto itself. To even try and decipher it would be like trying to teach poetry to fish.
So are we condemned at live out our lives like the scorpion? Always looking out for the negative part even when people reach out to help us? Or must we be the gullible and naïve frog, to take on something we know will eventually hurt us, but believe in its redemption?
History is wrought of stories where people have blindly trusted others in the hope that they would reform and become better. Who can forget the classic trying to turn a bad boy into a good man? It does not get done. And Iam not being fatalistic by saying this, Iam just being true. I like positivism. It’s a generally commendable attribute but occasionally awkward.
But I won’t shoot down the dreamers. No, I will not. That would be in horrible taste. For it is the dreamers, that make this life not as prosaic as it would undoubtedly be.
But we must understand, however bitter the pill may be, that human nature is incomprehensible. And whoever tells you that they have figured it out, is lying and should be shot. Then thrown off a cliff and hit every branch on the way down. For they will lie about small things too.
So if you do meet the cunning friend, the conman who plays at your heartstrings like a fiddle and takes you for all you’ve got, weep for a moment then let it go. For such is human nature. It’s a beautiful as it is tragic.
Someone once said no one chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks. Good intentions, the road to hell is paved with them too.
It is the scorpion that pulls humanity down. Scorpions may know the consequences and not care, like the universal suicide bomber, or may through vanity and denial refuse to see the consequences.
All rivers begin in the human heart, the human heart is infirm. The saddest thing I ever heard, ‘humanity is on a one way trip to self destruction,’ will be true for so long as we have scorpions.
And yet we have all been scorpions at one time or the other. It is our dark passenger. The darkness within that we hope will never come out to play but ultimately does. For only after we admit who we are can we become better. We must admit that we are human, highly defective yet ever more redeemably beautiful.

Thank you for the memories
Thank you for breaking my heart
You taught me to take my heart
Away from my sleeve
for fear of it falling to pieces
thank you for the special treatment
for you opened my eyes
To all the good things in life
Thank you for walking away
it taught me that someone better-
always comes along
Thank you for loving me all the same
it showed me the power of loving myself
Thank you foremost for the memories
am adding them to my mental album
and keeping them with me for a life time
Until they fade away for lack of space
Thank you once again.
