When my yearning becomes a letter
Of love inside the dust of time
This lyric will deliver my affection to you
Ajinle the precious daughter of Adegboye
For love is always love
For two dreaming hearts
When their hearts never departs each other

Redbuck's KingdomThree Popple logs still lie where they fell,
a log triangle; an overgrown dell.
One newly fallen and two not so new,
dissolving repose; beginning anew.
A leaf carpet, yellow, oranges and brown,
soften the lines between logs and the ground.
On white paper bark the sentences close
with woodpecker periods; bark...

Fatherless DreamThe man I will never know
A shadow
Not even a footstep to follow
No memories to rely
Fainted pictures
No reason to cry
Would I be what I am woe
Useless reasonings
For only God would know
My father has gone, passed from sight
Curse death for he hath won the fight
Why then do...

An Ode To Omoruyi UwuigiarenWhen thousand stars shall glow,
You'll be there among their brightness.
You are the moon savored in joy.
There are stories about us unwritten,
You live by the center of my heart
Because our emotions run together.

Writers are never tired of their work,
So we must write to defend freedom;
Those...

Ode
mundanerising from bed in the morning
seeking shelter when it's storming
idly whiling stray hours away
dreaming there will be better days
fabricating a self-image
with a more prominent linage
doodling on back of a letter
shunning life as a go-getter
paying of various taxes
wielding rhetorical axes
stopping by the grocery store
dealing with muscles...

PropitiationHe was cursed outside the camp
and he is Gods flaming Lamp
his tears not have been forgotten
he is the only Son begotten
His thoughts are always prayer
that mankind learn to care
and in his Word we live
when we ourselves forgive
On a donkey did he ride
with the high priests...

Mirror MirrorLooking in the mirror
What do I see?
A Beautiful Black Woman
Staring at me
I don’t grace
The cover of
A Beauty Magazine
But I have been
Known to cause
A scene
Carmel with a little swirl
Is how
I describe myself
Chocolate Eyes
Projecting
My inner soul
Cheekbones
That only...

The Curse On My Linage
Oh linage
I now sit and wonder,
why thou have grown so slow in progress
And wasteful in resources.
Ah!
Then i realize our great forebears
Laid too numerous generational
Curses on us all, curses
That now beat the drums of...

The Last of the Strong Ones"Now give me your ears! Face me

Not In My BloodIt is not my fault.
Not in my linage,
not in my blood,
how to make things
disappear as I pass close
to other peoples things
or items not mine
or cherished possessions,
not even in their absence,
things not my own,
not belonging to me,
for I am not...

Medieval SeductionI have not always history enjoyed
It started small
a little corner of my minds eye
But my vision widened
Into history,
and her story.
I became intrigued.
What fine clothes they wore,
what handsome steeds,
Purer flower and fauna.
Architecture so inspired
Multi spired
Vastly simple
Opulent, yet necessary
Where was I...

SwirledI put up the barriers and molded the Great White Stone.
I searched all written doctrines that embodied my light.
It was a remarkable journey let me tell you of my flight.
I even went through DNA of every strand of every bone.
I matched all the genetic...
