Wild Thoughts | Stefn Sylvester Anyatonwu

POEM 235: WILD THOUGHTS
you sit by the river of flooding ideas
and watch your your thoughts run wild

you lend your limbs to the wind
and with the wings of many eagles
you take your flight into distant 'what-if-lands'

silence shut out the voices that beckon
to distract your peak focus
from off the eye of the bull

shoot you must!
so on you day dream realities

you exhale and shun the desires that flaw
tomorrow's bliss with doubt traps

suddenly you yield
you flop
you are carried by the wind downwards
your mouth spread to protests
but words are lost

you say nothing,
you give up
you fall

yet, in the valley of this emptiness
bereft of help above and hope below
you roam like hungry rodents in a churchyard

you wander aimless into more traps
you circle same mountain over amd over
and wonder why there seem to be no end rhyme to this verse

but you don't give in to giving up
you raise your head above your neck
and.imagine yourself in a flood of thoughts

you picture memories to be made
and dreams once lost to the downfall
come flooding back like flashbacks

and all of them, yours

so you fly home with the wings of many eagles

you return and stand by the same shore
from whence you took off

instead of mockery and jeers
an ovation of bowed heads and cheers
ring the welcome song
to your wild thoughts

thing is, you must dream
and envision that which you desire.

don't let the now and trivial
take away your heart from just courses

be alert
stay focus
don't lose your wings to chicken crumbs
there's a victual for you on the mountain top

dream wild
don't die

Featured Article | Quicken Us, by Paul Albert

QUICKEN US So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. KJV Then will we not depart from you; revive us (give us life) and we will call upon Your name. Amp - Psalms 80 vs. 18. Ever watched a movie where your favorite actor was beaten to a pulp? Beaten to the point where standing on both feet becomes a prayer point? But beyond the pain little sparks of adrenaline still moves through His vein, He doesn’t want to give up or rather He is Hell bent to be the last man standing. I am sure you’ve watched such. But wait. Focus on this… How did that man who has had a beating of His lifetime overcome His greatest fears? Maybe He remembers countless number of people who would become slaves forever to a conquering enemy or how unpredictable their lives would certainly become or definitely the cry of the ones He loves most. Then a spark is ignited, a fire that actually never died starts flowing through his veins again. You can imagine the velocity of adren...

Dear Nun | Stefn Sylvester Anyatonwu

POEM 254: DEAR NUN I pray thee, dear nun, a morning psalm don’t be to me. Would rather you sow, deep in my heart, the yearning of your bud, in the wake of twilight. I pray thee, dear nun, in vain doth my want restrain from wrapping us in a hell of heavenly bliss, for though I kiss my Rosary, still it be blasphemy to rise and fall in lust's refrain. The lingering whiff of your first menses nor the beauty wrapped in flowing gown, doth conceal you inert desires, nor veil, with virtues, you [I dread to say nor write], for we’re far beyond those pretenses in which we cage love in pious frown You could hold a smile, it won't millstone your soul and cast thee hence in heart of Sheol. Shed now your sigh, estranged the flowing gown and let your long-lost heart embrace wanton thoughts. For they both appear, to pay sin’s toll, not one word from thence shall condemn your soul So would you make me now sweat beads from your Rosary? Would you let me take to another realm where clouds shall we...
