Another one;

My Naija My Pride!

My naija my pride
Even with the stormy tide
I'll stay strapped like a car seat
My stomach yearns for wheat
Millions of voices make a heavy sigh
Our faith is strong...we won't cry

My naija my pride
Empty tank and a posh ride
Even though we're down
We still wear the crown
Always positive
Sure of the future with an ability that's cognitive

My naija my pride
We will set our differences aside
Unity in diversity
Ability and sincerity
Speak out and say it
We are great!

1. THE ASTRAL MAIDEN. LIGHT AND DARK
Krystalxxx and Royver


(Krystalxxx)
She peeks from behind the clouds,
Shy blushes paint the sky orange.
Golden filters of her aura,
Gently caress the earth.


Teasing, she caresses our waters.
Her little jewels of gold dance,
And glitter upon it!
Like Midas's coins.


She calls upon the children to play,
Slyly tempting with her rays
Gracing the dewdrops with her twinkle
Greeting the beach sands with a tickle
.


(Royver)
Slowly but surely she glides through the sky
Her mission of peace she summons from on high
Her caress, the breeze, her touch, a calming sigh
As she dances to heavenly music, her rhythm divine.


Of roses and flowers and petals that bloom
There is none as sweet as our maiden in June.
For august and winter and all the year through
Her gay footsteps trail the sky with a golden hue.


Oh astral maiden who calls children to sing
Who laughs and giggles from behind a child angel's wing
Paint the sky and bring out its hue
Once more, let happiness and peace ensue
.



MAWU.
(Krystalxxx)
The darkness of the night is thick
Thick and suffocating.
The spell of evil is complete
Thoughts cold as ice cover the heart

Conqueror of the night
Conqueror of the labyrinth
Chosen to light the path
Chance,shall we see MAWU today?

Silently will she emerge
Surely like the snake from it's old skin
Still sweet,yet quietly
She uncovers the evil that cowers inside

Mild,bright,beautiful light
Mother of the night
Meekly she will proceed
MAWU,proud mother of the night


(Royver)
A cobra's venom is a terrible poison
A scorpions sting painful enough to distort reason
But all fall short beyond compare
In the heat of MAWU's icy stare.

She slithers so fluidly at the edge of dreams
Turning sleeping fantasies into terrible nightmares
And a person who has but horrid schemes
Will do well to ask Mawu for help, but who dares?

For her touch alone will wither and rot
That which was filled with life's saving lot
And leave it to fester and boil
And lose hope in all its labour and toil

Dangerous beauty, Dangerous night
Steal the haven off hope's light
For none can wait to see and stare
At Mawu, proud mother of the night.
Haba! Damboroba! Shege! Jaguar!

This is awesome!

2. SEPARATE WORLDS
by JigsawKillah and philtrum


Philtrum:
I lay my head in motels
Where the doors don't close
And they are always out of towels.

Jigsawkillah:
It's the best I Deal with
If it ain't internationally known
The hotel doesn't worth me.

Philtrum:
Hard working for a mean Boss
So I jump out of bed daily
That I may catch a 4am bus.

Jigsawkillah
Bossing hundreds of workers
Why stress myself?
The appointment, maybe later.

Philtrum:
I'm worth only half His salary
He gets a girl like Marieolae
Feeling like the son of Anarchy.

Jigsawkillah:
Beauty goes with money
No food for lazy men
He looks like he's hungry.

Philtrum:
Can't go back to Ana
She stays down the 23rd jump street
She only wants a loan for her father.

Jigsawkillah:
Marieolae is back for me
She's Miss Independent
She has her own money.

Philtrum:
I squirm in pain in silence,
Pick my Quill and my scroll,
To Take note of my existence.

Jigsawkillah:
My picture is all over the media
I can pretend to be sad
But I've never been happier.

Philtrum:
I'll use my quill like a quiver,
When I'm most scared, depressed
And my tears flow like a river.

Jigsawkillah:
I'll use my quill to note my plans
And write long and short verses
at least, That makes me feel human.

Now this is synergy.

6. JOSTLING EMOTIONS
by Krystalxxx and Royver



(Royver)
Rage, an imperfect jostle of thoughts

Swirling around like a storm in a cup

Like a monster trying to eat itself up

It slowly eats away until all rots

(krystalxxx)
Rage is like a poison deep in the soul

It brings uneasiness to live within

Making the soul an abode for all sin

And leaves a vacuum behind, a big hole


(Royver)
Rage blinds our eyes to the relevant facts

And confuses our minds, muddles it all up

Once destruction starts it is hard to stop

And so we come down with irrational acts

So pour water on your rage, calm yourself down

That way you will smile, no need for a frown


Peace

Still calm

The stormy waters

Peace like a gentle wind comes
(royver)

Far from the rage

Calm down

Love.
(krystalxxx)
The first verse of this poem will stay with me for a long time.
