To Iroko spirit,
Vows were made,

Boy With An EyeBetwixt the vibrant threads of a busy bazaar,
A foreigner's gaze seize on a singular star,
A boy with one eye, an enigma raid,

Love Not BloodThe shadow cast by twilight's breath,
A tale transpire, of life and death.
A refuge boy, adrift and torn,
From distant lands, in agony borne.

Where ancient mutters softly sway.

And the track road leading into Amurum forest
Stained with droplets of blood down the terraced
Searching into sunrise by Lafon river parts

TIME FLIESMornings come, but never stays
Even as slow as a snail
It crawls away
Slowly but surely, it comes to night
The lights fades and eyes deem

Time flies but...
