begone, begone oh demon of chaos
like smoke in the wind, away your writers block
conjure for me my cherished muse
to sit on my shoulder and bleed my hand
I saw a shooting star white, sparkly and fiery burning its way across the night sky I made a silent wish a whisper, a silent prayer I wished I would fly to the ends of what is known to kiss the moon and touch the stars alas it was just a wish nothing more than a silent prayer Ashen on the cold stone altar of quiet gods, buried temples it was nothing but a silent prayer for that same shooting star bright and glorious above came crashing, splintered, broken to the cold cold earth. --Henry Akuete (The Undying Poet)
The iron laws of time and tide Fools learn and kings die birds go south, the seas rise leaves fall and shafts sprout a womb, a heart beat, quiet beside a grave, a black coffin First love's kiss, smiles shared to tears, torn sheets, jagged lips what goes comes back around up is down as the moon rides as the clock turns, metal chimes trust not what you see today all falls to change, being and unbeing here and there, yin and yang so goes the way of mortal man living and dying, day and night by the iron laws of time and tide --Henry Akuete (The Undying Poet)
