How much more would we give
How much more would we be
How much more would we see
If we could see what blind men see

Untitled for now

Could we call it blight on this country fair?
Mans cruelty to Man centuries bygone,
Such disease this country to become heir.
Monsters and demons the practice did spawn.


Throughout those years, a darkness did descend.
Man bought and sold without any recourse.
To wound and molest without recompend.
Tearing mother from Child, held no remorse.


Though progress was made in the years that passed,
Some continued to spread the infection.
But into the pond, a small stone was cast,
By he who brought peaceful resolution.


When will we re'lize from whence we ALL come.
From then to now, we must tally the sum. ~Tex

7. YOUR NAME FOR MINE

E ntreaty from afar.
V ibrations that stir this "heart in a jar".
E mboldened, by the touch of your breath.
R ecognized and appreciated till death.
E nabling our hearts, like bells to ring.
S uch sweet songs, together we'll sing.
T easing words pass in the mist,
D eepening affection,
E victing thoughts of predilection.
B eguiling eyes in a cherubic face.
L oving little boy in our embrace.
I nstilled in him your fathers and mine.
U nbreakable bond, His design.
~Tex

This is quite impressive.
Lol at the copyright disclaimer. I hope you have attorneys in Nigeria who would sue any offending party on your behalf.

Where have you gone
What can I do
How can I survive
When will I be whole again?

Where are you now
What have I done
How can I fix this
When will I learn?

Where can I turn
What is in my head
How did it come to this
When did I become this crazy?

These 3 poems where recovered by Seun. They are from my new monifer after I deactivated. To be honest…I’m glad to be texanomaly again. I regretted it the moment I deactivated. Be absolutely sure before you do.

These are from “More Random Ramblings”. I guess the original “Random Ramblings From the Mind of Tex" after Jan 10 is gone. I thought I backed up all my poetry, but some is missing. It is what it is…

Trojan Horses
by Tex

I feel your pain.
It is as if it were my own.
I cannot help,
Only you can keep us sane.


You say you are fine,
But I know the cost.
Freedom is an illusion,
Now we both have lost.


I’ll stay beside you
In your search for peace.
Your world is not mine,
I beg you for release.


This is not misplaced predilection,
Your heart still yearns.
Where can you turn,
And in what direction?


This “gift” oft times a curse.
A broken heart.
A beautiful mind convinced.
Could it be worse?



Transfixed by my endowment.
Sinking helpless in your hurt.
Strength nearly at its end.
I am bound by your imprisonment.


How will it all end my dear, dear friend?
Release the gentle knight.
When all is said and done,
It is only you who can transcend.

"If You Go Away" is an adaptation of the 1959 Jacques Brel song "Ne me quitte pas" with English lyrics by Rod McKuen.


If you go away
on this summer day,
Then you might as well
take the sun away;
All the birds that flew
in the summer sky,
When our love was new
and our hearts were high;
When the day was young
and the night was long,
and the moon stood still
for the night birds song.
If you go away,
Ne me quitte pas
If you go away,
Ne me quitte pas

But if you stay,
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been,
or will be again;
We'll sail the sun,
we'll ride on the rain,
We'll talk to the trees
and worship the wind.
Then if you go,
I'll understand,
Leave me just enough love
to fill up my hand,

If you go away,
if you go away,
Ne me quitte pas,
if you go away.

If you go away,
as I know you will,
you must tell the world
to stop turning Till
you return again,
if you ever do,
for what good is love
without loving you,
Can I tell you now,
as you turn to go,
I'll be dying slowly
till the next hello,
Ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas,
If you go away.

But if you stay,
I'll make you a night
Like no night has been,
or will be again.
I'll sail on your smile,
I'll ride on your touch,
I'll talk to your eyes
that I love so much.

But if you go,
I'll understand,
Leave me just enough love
to hold in my hand,
If you go away,
Ne me quitte pas,
if you go away,
if you go away.

If you go away,
as I know you must,
There'll be nothing left
in the world to trust,
Just an empty room,
full of empty space,
Like the empty look
I see on your face.
I'd have been the shadow
of your shadow
If I thought it might have kept me
by your side.
Ne me quitte pas,
If you go away,
Ne me quitte pas,
please don't go away

You Two Goofballs
by Tex


For my good Buddies.
I can't help but love y'all.
You're always there when I call.
First in line weather cheers or sympathies.

Always they who carries
My load when I fall.
And the laughter e no be small
Affection and camaraderie tarries.

So here we are makin' memories.
Each of us having a ball.
The order, it is tall,
But we got this, no worries.

EverestdeBliu:
Baby I'm proud of you...ur ink speaks.

Prayer for 'E'
by Tex

Lord keep him safe
Help him see thy plan and
Stay the course
Bless him with thy comfort and grace

Bless his path O Lord
Keep his eye on thy glory
Help him see his worth
Give him hope in this place

Let him know of thy love
Channel his aspirations
And bolster his resolve
To run this race

Bear his burdens
But give him strength
Sustain his courage
And help him keep pace

Be there for him
But allow him to grow
Guide his trek
To see thy light in his face
Amen

It describes my feelings for someone.
Don't worry I'll give the credit to you. Am not claiming it as mine

What Do Shadows Do When We're Not Looking?
by Tex

Where do shadows go? Do they slumber? Do they snore? They lengthen and stretch as the sun starts to sink. When lights have faded and all the world is sleeping, do they dream?

Do shadows talk to one another? Is there a secret code? Are they chatting away when we're not listening, or making faces when we're not watching?

If we could peek, would we find them snacking, or blowing rings while smoking cigars? Maybe they're slipping and sliding across waxed floors.

Yeah yeah, I know I know. When the light is gone there is no shadow cast. Once darkness spreads its cloak, those shifty companions are no more.
Of course they disappear, but are you sure?
