THE SUNSET.

The weather was warm. Too warm i thought.

I melted underneath the sun's presence, i was a prisoner of circumstance. The warmth tickled my skin pores to the point of tears. My skin cried and i wiped the tears away. The winds blew gently all of a sudden, giving a calmness to the wetness.

Sitting on the floor gazing affectionately at lazy clouds drifting at their own pace, with not a care in the world as the reflection from the sun exploded unto the horizon in a yellowish haze. The skies turned bright in a special mix of intimate colours and my eyes became mirrors of rainbows.
The skies faded from blue to grey and then violet. With every second, things became harder to see but my eyes never left the sunset.

More,

No kidding!!

Destiny,Fate are they in control of us or are we in control of them. Is destiny like the sea that it's waves flow in a pre- determinined manner or does it flow according to the desire of thier heart. Are we like birds free to fly where we want or compelled to only determined routes.or is fate only for those too weak to determine their destiny.if so Fate grant me Love and Happiness. And if naught,i would find Love and Happiness.when i do i shall call it Destiny and when it dies,i'll call it Fate.

GONE

I didn't know you were gone when the roses died.
I couldn't even tell from the sorrows of thier eyes,
Even when you said goodnight,never realised it was goodbye.
Even as tears came from my eyes i don't believed i cried.
Even as beautiful as u look in the coffin i don't believe you died.
As i lay pretending to sleep it ain't no fun.
Still can't believe that you're really gone.
But i believe that whenever you've gone i'll get there too.
Cuz our love's too much,much more than me or you.

[a good sweetheart friend of mine died.just wrote to illustrate my degree of love]

come on honey, when will you paste yours?

Lonely call…

He was twenty-three years of age
Not lucky to be among the computer age
He believed it was time to be a man
His mother said “no” with a strong adage
The father did nothing but warn



In sudden anger he would flare
Soon, his face became so rare
Man and woman couldn’t take it any longer
So they disowned him in tears
Since he said he wasn’t growing any younger

He approached his love Tina
She: dark, hairy, slim or even thinner
They begun spinning the web of love
Stronger it grew and even thicker
Till love got so high above

She had a boy for him
On hearing, his face was full of beams
They went on to have their wedding
On their honeymoon, they sang hymns
Not knowing they were close to tears shedding

He never knew the marriage bids
Misunderstanding germinated like weeds
They took their words with a pinch of salt
He closed down her fees and feeds
Finally, everything came to a halt!

She left after calling him wretched
He roamed the street dejected
He had a child but not a wife
With sorrow he had been injected
He had asked “could this be life?”

Taking to heavy drinking
Not an exception was smoking
He came home in the dead of the night
Never caring about his son’s living
The son now believed life wasn’t right

He lost his job
Behaving worst than a dog
Now he couldn’t go to his family
His grave was been dug
Life had stung him with infirmity

Then with such heavy breath,
He began seeking death
Never seen one so brave
To bring the waters above the neck
Emotion was so watery as he kissed the watery grave

NIGHT

i have succumbed to the power of the great night
here i lay with eyes dead and restless in the tall hands of Morpheus
i have been pressed to my lay
the moon has glued me to my pillow
and my head is beaming out rays
both on my hands behold i twinkling singing stars
so i be oblivious when men and their mishciefs stole in the dark through the thick and thin of the magic night.

oh where am i some few steps pass the promise land
some few seconds to death
hey i have been in the nucleus of night
where slumber waves and slumber recieves
night, enslaver of kings
chief slayer of all eyes
you made me walk beyond the horizons of life
as a king have ruled
as a slave have served
i have been a young honorable gentleman
passing through deserts
crossing through forests
swimming pass seas
i have sang till my throat sore
i have dance till my back stroked
i have walked all my legs swollen
      night
a myth or a fairy tale

sorry
cant party with you guyz
nice thing up here though

keep it up guyz!!!

wrote this years back in my undergrad days in ife.

Even as a child i dreamt of this day

the day when boys wld grow up to be man

and girls women, a day when the sound of war

wld be heard no more, i dreamt of freedom

freedom from slavery, freedom from oppression

as i child i walked about wit hate in ma heart

where did this heart come from, i know not

wat brought about this hate, injustice i must say

injustice to the human race, injustuce to humanity

can this hate be changed, i say NO

for not from ma mother's womb did it come from

for its was the world that gave it to me and to the world

would it return, but then wat wld the generations to come say

would they not say their freedom was redeem by bloodshed

LET them say so, for does not life lie in the blood

to give a man life is it not by blood and to end one

is it not by blood,

then why do u all look as if sin i did commit

for even as a child i have seen lives of men been take away

i have seen child ma age been thrown into slavery

some been thrown overboard ships for their bones were weak

and movement caused them pain,

noone to help them but the sailors hands that swings them

overboard.

even as i child i dreamt of this day, a day when the cry of

freedom shall be heard across the land

Always wish for you …

The moon is here again,
With that silvery glow of endless July,
She washes every in her path,
Lights casting mystic circles of radiance on lakes and seas,
As blue as a dreams nested with specks of reflections,
Waters sleeping under a hazy sky,
Gray and blue all at once …
On a distant hill loons cry,
Sharp shrills breaking into the still air,
Their voices like loss,
Faintly I see the outlines,
Venus in the darkening sky,
Star light … star bright,
Wish I may … wish I might,
In these dreams,
I always wish for you …

Missing you…

Every night is the same,
The world is still,
Held in place by memories
The moon…
The stars…
Your smile…
Moments forever cherished,
Fill this room,
And I miss you even more!
