CarL's Ink Flame

Taking a walk in time abreast with the ticks and tricks of unaging numbers on ageing flesh My mind, in split control of the seconds play me subtle reminders in tocks of how minute minutes are in a flash! Yet, I remain unbothered cos, I've got you my timeless lover to behold in all memories. Time and age become irrelevant when it's all about you my timeless lover and me your untimed beholder gracing through life's tick and tock arm in arm until the day earth calls us by name. My Timeless Lover! 🕊 - CarL I -

Decades, centuries Australopithecus afarensis, ... ... ... Seasons, moments Homo habilis, ... ... ... Times, days Homo sapiens, ... ... ... Transformation! Inks on leaves, white not green. Similar traitss, but I misunderstand his writing. A generational difference! - CarL I. -     

A story! A story of how I quenched the thirst of a scorching sun with freshly fetched ocean drench dripping from the spherical lip of a transparent hold. A story! A story of how forsaken the brutality and falls of citizens fade in the sight of their rulers. A common man uncommon before his people for sake of negligence. A story! Oh, rulers...a story! A story to quench the thirst of your wickedness and drain the hunger of sorrow which you crest in the stomachs of your citizens, deeply in the hearts of your youths. A story! Oh, citizens...your story! A story to stand tall, the Iroko heights, climb... ...one, two...rise! the stiffy backs of stallions, saddle... ...kick, kick...run! the shaky vees of canoes, paddle... ...row, row...flow! A fight, Yes, a fight, until you command the times! A story! A story!! This story, mine to tell. .......................................... These blanks, yours to fill, and your story, your...

Oh, lift me; Lift me, As a wave, ...delightfully dances to celebrate the ocean's roar. Lift me, As a dry weightless leaf, As a single weightless quill, ...warmly embraces the atmosphere's 20.9% oxygen, displayed by its obedient followership. Lift me, With ease, ...as icey crystals aesthetically display the silver linings of the beautiful cloudy sky. Lift me, As dry dusts in stormy deserts, ...abreast the winds with joy and singing upon the  harsh scorches of an unforgiving sun. Alas; Heavy I am, And weighed I lay. Fallen, pierced and crushed upon the thorns of injustices. Corruption pricking my very existence and fading my life to a state of inexistence. My tomorrow? Waning before my today from the lapses and failures of yesterday's self acclaimed "heroes" I bleed! My tomorrow?! A future I crave, For the birthing of a breezy dawn for tomorrow's generation to wing up and soar. Justitia! I yelled, Blindfolded you are, but u...

Pain like tears, blood red, of falling rose petals. I am, obsessed and red in pain. Deep the pain, with no gain that at the mention of pain my name be spelt. My name, a synonym to pain, for I am the personified pain. What could be worse? More pain? Ofcourse not, I feel no pain, I am pain. 🕊 - CarL I. -

  Take a knee Faithful compatriots Take a knee. Swear me an oath of allegiance Take a knee Birth trust upon painstaking struggles Take a knee Birth faith in the green and white of our nation Take a knee Take my arm Faithful compatriots Take my arm In sworn togetherness Take my arm To thrive through thick and thin Take my arm To await the birth of our dreamed day Take my arm Take my arm For, Within shores of the East boards the South Within boundaries of the West exists the North And the South a bond within all Let's share a kiss of heart in cuddle of arms, that of passion, faith, hope, strength and perseverance. Let's drop our waring arms and hold arms in together in strength. Let the lone broomstick's tale remain its woes. Hold my arm, and yours do give And together with strength and courage of our heroes past. We rise, Dust off the ash, And take action to greatness. Take my arm, Believe again in the green & white. Arise, O Compatriots! Arise! Together we make our drea...

Unmelt my saddened darkness with warmth from your sparkled brightness. ..... ..... ..... ..... .....
