For Cuddlemii

Cuddlemii is really angry at me
Sorry I was harsh
I didn't mean to be mean
Now I hope you see what I mean
I was just being me
To make you see things as they be

Indeed and I have forgiven you #Hehehe. You know within your hearts of hearts that I am right but pride has inhibited you from acknowledging it. Never take people for granted and know that it is not everybody that criticises you that hates you and vice versa.

Laughing at your sense of indignation over the matter.

It's Swell

It's so swell
When friends make up so well
A nice tale to tell
It just might sell
To those who want to raise hell
Or jump into a well
'Cos they feel trapped in a cell.



Dedicated to Cuddlemii

Is that a good or bad thing? It is a great test of one's intellect when you seek to give meaning whilst rhyming. I look forward to putting together more complex rhymes in future.

We ain't going to hell
We are just doing what lovers do well
If you have an objection, please tell
Peeping through my psychic crystal, I foretell
Our union would dwell
Shall I cast you a spell
To forever be your damsel
I promise a swell time at the stairwell
Or we could sit on the beach at sunset to pick seashell


By the way, who wants cowbell? cheesy

your being a mod i never could fortell
i'm sad as your bestie you never did tell
but now you are, you'll be the model
your super talents you'll now unshell

oh what a chance to show your inner jewel
to portray you externally as a belle
cos many a fight your words will quell
and set a record that'll always ring a bell!

Why Rhyme?

I say it’s time
Love rhyme not mime
You should try some
See how it comes
Quite awesome
It expresses freedom
Doesn’t make you tiresome
Killing boredom
Makes you feel handsome
And not lonesome
Can never be gruesome
But always Welcome
Re: Nairaland's "The Poet" Competition by maclatunji: 2:11pm On Jul 25, 2012
I have water on my mind.

Water
Feed my heart
Quench my thirst
Refresh my mind
Make me feel kind

In you there is life
Beauty so clear
Creatures look so dear
They make me feel bright

You are abundant
You are so scarce
This is no farce
Neither is it scant

Life is water
Water is life
Life for life
Water for life

Dedicated to you if you love water.

ME
They want to know me
How can that be?
I am as busy as a bee
Thinking constantly
What is? What if?
And how can?
Questions upon questions
Needing daily answers
To know me
Is to feel me
To feel me
Is to understand me
To understand me
Is to recognise me
To recognise me
Is to be me
Crazy! I am the only me

If you have ever tried to figure me out or wondered: "who is this guy?" This one is for you. tongue

Across the Niger
Across the Niger
Various tribes differ
Making rifts deeper
Making hearts harsher

Some say it has to be
Some say it is not to be
Can’t the two just let us be?
Be as in be

Make of this one what you will.

Re: Nairaland's "The Poet" Competition by JacobsAdewale: 1:11pm On Jul 26, 2012
THE OBLOQUY by Jacobs Adewale.

Credited to the constitution
Is the freedom of prostitution,
That the yearnings of the masses
Are tagged a carcass in the state of ashes.

In retrospect lies the embodiment of shame,
Making reality a game for infants to become lame;
Synonymous to a roller coaster
Is the tenets of corruption in a legislative roaster.

Is this democratic?
As political leaders become renowned dealers and autocratic
Possessed with lust for power
And stealthily slaughtering hope in every hour.

With each dawn
Comes a muddling wind
Polluting our munificent minds
To embrace debacle in debilitation.

For too long,
We bluff by singing a contrite song;
Forgetting our wounded etiolated bones
In the quest to cease our conscience contentions.



All is bewildered,
Knowing not who possess the onus of emancipation;
Far from the milieu of regeneration,
Segregation continues to deter rehabilitation.

When, how
Will liberation surface
To annihilate these political two-faced tyrants,
Who aspire to multiply the sorrows of the downtrodden?

I stand anonymous
For the earth has been polluted;
When the head is rotten,
The parts are conserved for direct destruction.

Who will salvage all?
Some questions are best left unanswered,
Till the revolution in evolution is born.

Rumour Mongers
Have you heard the latest?
Have you seen the newest?
Isn’t he the worst?
Who says he’s the best?

A few questions
Emanating from mentions
That portray notions
And different motions

You lot can’t resist
Your hearts insist
You can’t desist
It has to persist

Rumour mongers
Remind me of fish mongers
Peddling stale fish
And utter rubbish
