Spirits In Love

I choose you,
Like the moon;
Of a new blue
Night

Not for the beauty
But in your eyes;
Purity thrust
If you are not,
Life would be lies

I choose you
Like the bird choose the sky
In your heart
I'll build a beauty land
With swad
Of fairies of light

Just me you
And the world
Like a trinity
Nothing could separate us
Only divinity
But as our love 
Is refined
By the divine
Eternity couldn't dare
Break a bond
We couldn't even care
Because
Just like a song
We are 
Spirits in love

Waking up with tears
Frozen,despair

Hasty Prayers

Kneeling like a plea
Talking like a rap artist
While praying

Warm Room

A seductive heat
Surrounded by a bliss of freshness
In a room

Dreaming

Dreaming with my eyes open
Kissing my illusion
A paradise envision

Wind of Fate

There is a wind never heard of
A wind we've all soared
Every bit of humanity has once been a submissive wife
Or rather a humble slave to this wind
This wind is part of earths eternal mysteries
It has always been since the beginning of histories

do not think this wind is evil
but rather a analytical preview
of our powerlessness
in the genesis of our existence

this wind starts it all
it blows us to be us
it designs our call
it perfect our imbalance curse

it gives us no choice
it blows at partial course
but still, impartial
it blows some lightly
and some heavily
it blows some to terror
and blows some to valor

you still may not know this wind I'm talking about
but it has blown you and everyone around you
its the greatest thing that ever happened to you
its this same wind that blow that crippled child you once pitied
its the same wind that blow that poor beggar on wall street

This same wind blew Malia into the womb of Michelle Obama
This same wind blew me into one big family that could get me educated
This same wind blew you into that family where you have 3 square meal
This same wind blew one poor child somewhere into one miserably poor home
Where hunger has become a necessary deal

This wind I'm talking about makes us
Our gender, nationality, family, are all determined by this wind
Even sometimes we regret being who we are
Or where we are
We may want to blame this wind
But this mysterious wind can never be blamed
For the ones he blows into terror he fills with great valor
As his reward for such ugly turbulence

This wind; i call the wind of fate
Blows some into riches
And blows some into poverty
Blows some into health
Some into sickness

It is sad, we don't have control over this wind
But still, our control of this wind is what makes us
By becoming the wind, we can control the wind
By blowing once more on those harshly blown
By blowing softly upon them that were terribly blown

By showing love and concern for those that have been placed into discreet agony or suffering
Not as a matter of choice but by birth
Like the poor little girls in Niger born into the reign of child marriage
Or the Poor hungry children in Africa born into abject poverty
They have not chosen these for themselves.
They were only blown by the wind of fate that has also blown you and I to a more fortunate position.
The only way we can change things is to be the wind and blow on the hopeless once more..

We Shall Move On

Beaten down by the torns of war 
Destroyed to the soul 
With reopened sours 
With the eyes that bitterly pours 
With the broken n deserted 
Let us raise the silent voice of our 
souls 
And say; 
We Shall Move On!!! 

Whatever we lost to the war 
Whatever horror we saw 
Let that eyes close 
Let a tear wash them all away 
For ; 
We Shall Move On!!! 

Even when the war has left us cold 
n lonely 
Bitterly mourning, 
Even when we find no better abode 
Let us look above, 
Like a fighter n say; 
We Shall Move On!!! 

Let our sorrows n pains 
Drown with the rain 
Let our losses go with the crane 
For ; 
We Shall Move On!!! 

Even we,destroyed by the bullets 
of our ignorance 
Nd blinded by the fingers of our 
affection 
Let us rise like the morning sun 
With its never quenching fire, 
N shout ; 
We Shall Move On!!!!!

Overshadow

As we walked alone
Under a golden sun
By the water side
Gazing unto her
Holding her tight
Under the wedging blue sky
She puts her hands in mine
Mine in hers
Her lips on mine
Bringing on me a peaceful bliss
We were not alone
We were just a shadow
In the romance of the sun and sea
But still, our romance
Shadowed the affectionate sea

A Dark Ramadan

What a ramadan?
Veils everywhere
Still am damned
Time purity steers 

Laced with pain;
Is my eye
How i be so stain;
I better die

 Hope fly by all men
I only see din
Covered in darkness
Encamped agony, distress

A burden i carry;
My shoulder sour.
My heart tarry;
For my agony tall 

Allah come save me!
This pain is beyond me!
Where do my hope seem?
Ramadan made it dim 

Ramadan saves;
What of mine?
I hunger slave
To get the divine
SAVE me!
O Allah!

Miss Babalola

I see your struggles
I hear the mumble
Of your heart,
In search for light. 

Life has been so harsh
Even though its pain.
Hope flies about,
Your heart's;
Window pane.

 Even though;
Life showed you nothing,
But shame.
You stay up tho!
Like a tiger;
That can't be tamed 

Even though
Your future
Seems dim
You shower
Under the rain
Of dreams 

What a hero?
You are!
Heavens salute;
O-er! O-er!
