The loudest voices are the ones that speak a different language in different places. The camaraderie is unmistakable, as I see in the backslapping and guffawing. The superior lateral vision I’m born with (some people call it intuition), helps me see the passing empty look on faces as soon as another face turns away. The … Continue reading Time to go

Purple Haze … By Jude Itakali
wistful September
darkness and light harmonize
Equinox is here
At year’s end, dusks and dawns flaunt lilac bliss
Hearts flutter in periwinkle dreams
The Purple haze descends on all
Our fortunes come full circle
Portends of the Seer-

Cards that read dreams
Runestone dooms
Lost truths

Purple horizons
when birds flock rift valley lakes
Far-winter’s blessings
Forget not the many hues of each colour

Where mystery inflames beauty
And fantasy spoons reality
When the Purple haze has you
Smitten by its amethyst sheen
Blinded to its heliotrope tinge
A wistful time indeed
A time of comeupens
When the end is in sight
and watchful things stalk your every step.

where mine is not truly mine
yet comes back around
one’s curse, another’s blessing
