Best Shinning Poems
sun shinning
sipping coffee
on the swing
Born into the family of seven
Handed over the last born baton
By the other descendants of the
Pa Noah “Mekolani Olajide’s” fame.
Her sojourn in life starts from
The far down “Sora”,
Sora to “Odo Alafia”
“Odo Alafia” to the West of “Oraborode”
“Oraborode” of “Odojomu”
“Odojomu” of “Ondo town.”
She shone like a million star in all.
“Ariyayosi” grew up eating the fear
Of the Lord as Breakfast.
Brave and Intelligent “Yemi Mekolani” alias
“Mama Ondo” leaves no stone unturned as
She prepares her self-discipline, hardwork
And cleaningness as Launch.
As charismatic and erudite “Pa Noah Olajide”
“Baistically” prepares “Aribabagbojule” Dinner
Meant to cushion the effect of
Ups and downs of life
All these in the Biblical Ark of Noah
Of the Pa Noah Olajide;s house.
No wonder the other kinsmen
I mean the six others of the Olajide
Strong Spiritual Siji
Innocent Innovative Iyabo
Fearless Fascinating Fisayo
Lanky Lively Lanre
Lenient Lawful Luwale
And of course
Faithful Famous Funmi ,
Gave her all the needed love to
Make her shone like a million star.
Aunty Rose went through the rigous of
Secretariat knowledge as part of the needed
Catalyst to catapult her to Queen Elizabeth palace
Right into the waiting hands of amiable Martins Babatunde
Martino, a loving and understanding husband
Has all it takes to thank God for giving him
A good wife, indeed a vessel unto honour.
The emergence of Sade Innocent,
Later Sade Ronik, now Manchester University
Was the needed tonic for quest for greener pasture.
The lovely wen-wen sound of a new born baby
That signaled Sade’s entrance was
Not enough to distract her focus.
Similola shone like a million star
Then comes the arrival of Saintly Sagacious Sayo
And ever Stylishly Shy Seye on stage.
For the lead cast role has Scientific Splendid
Sade at the back of the stage.
As a Sister, she is a rare gem
As a Wife, she is rare breed
As a Friend, she is a rare specie
As a Confidant, she is a rare seed
As a Teacher ,she is a rare scroll
As a Mother, she is a rare plant.

Its was one of my earliest poem, hence, the
Colloquial usage in the poem.
SEA TO SHINNING SEA,
...this is so intimate of time, as a first kiss of time is...so close of soul, so near, so dear of heart beat, so precious a rhyme that flows so intimately,
deep of time, down by the Crystal Seas...
...this is so intimate of dreams,
dreaming reality,
as the Crystal Sea so reveals of destinies galore,
sparkles,
destined as the night light of the moon-glows of starry eyes,
upon the waters,
...gazing
...seeing tranquility upon the waves...
watching to the depth of a dream,
and a sun-rise
being so true...
for underneath and within this a moon-lit poem of starry night eyes, down by the Crystal Seas, a vessel sets sail upon the deep...into a kiss of dawn...
Sea to shinning Sea.

Mummy Sade as one of the covenant child
Of Abraham , and indeed the child of Pa Noah
Whatever she lays her hand upon
Becomes instantaneously prosperous
Similola as the connotes, resting continually
In, beside ,out and within wealth.
Hardly will one know that all the while
Mama Ondo keeps calling her name to ascertain
Whether she was sleeping or not, echoing:
Roseline , Similola
Se we sun e e
Yei me sun
Se me e piroro e e
She was not dizzying but looking into her tomorrow.
She has steadily piroro into God’s abundant wealth.
Rose a discreet philanthropist
Ordained to give out to sundry and all
Like the cheerful Samaritan.
Shinning Rose, an African woman with good
Burning desires for others .
Roseline, a woman like a man
In the business world ,full of energy, Passion
And exceptional knowledge
You remain a source of inspiration
And wisdom to many
No wonder why you are a star
In the sky shinning in a million way
Rose, an African Queen
Ever beautiful as the early morning roses
Smiling Similola,
Pretty and charming like sweet sixteen
Even in her ten out of Golden Jubilee
Rejoice for today is the day
Made by the Lord.

Missing that Shinning Sea
Often starring at ocean waves,
just blocks from its sea gulls and sandy shores.
Daily visits never grew old; the water was always cold.
And the gulls fly low, enjoying their favorite spots.
Arrested with fascination of seals resting on solid rocks,
campers and outdoorsmen alike, parked by the sea side
Residing in the sunset district and sleeping by the sound of ocean tides,
A young family was often captured, viewing beauty from bay windows.
They engulfed the cool breezes and observed the rolling fog;
walking along its windy shores, building castles in the sand
Neither rooster crows nor cricket sounds, or even lightning bugs;
sweet sleep danced to the music of fog horns, as they sounded out faithfully;
Ships from Far East ports, passing slowly through the golden gate;
delivering huge containers of merchandize, made mostly in China
Just a short walk from the Pacific is that great and gorgeous park.
Strolling along beaten paths, or laughing and flying kites,
a father and his two kids played with sheer delight;
and embraced the breezes, mostly calm and cool

It was the thing I could not see,
Which till late I never knew--
For the truth resided distantly
And beyond my frail view.
But ah, the truth, both near and far,
I was ill-prepared to see--
That this refuge from a sinning star
Was never long to be.
How familiar are the worlds away,
As the floodlights softly fade--
The home where I will lastly stay...
The reason I was made!
Your my shinning star, You may not
be on earth anymore but I keep you close
so your not far, I oftem wonder why
you had to die, I wipe my tears
and look up at the sky.
They say people need air to breathe
well I need you, Why did u have to leave?
But your happy and free now I believe.
People can't breathe without air,
I feel like I can't breathe without
you it's not fair.
You were better than the rest
But i guess it's true God only takes the best.
I feel like I'm livivg in the
worst nightmare ever, I love you & I
will forever.
He was a knight in shinning armor,
Rescuing her from dragons.
She was a damsel in distress,
Wore a long gown of white lace.
He was invited to her palace,
They sat at the beautiful table and dinned.
They had champagne and delicious foods,
Then they toured the palace gardens.
The gardens were beautiful with blossoming roses,
Flowers of every kind , orchards of delight.
They would walk together his arm linked in her hers,
A friendship beyond compare, the sun rose when he was there.
She would look forward to seeing him everyday,
They embraced and became good friends.
You never know what God has planned for you,
Another exquisite day at the palace guested.

Does he know - he lives forever - in my dreams?
And that every vision I create - is through his eyes of green.
Does he know - I still walk with him - along the shore of Evermore?
On that path of make-believe - that led me to a castle door
Where as a child I - placed my heart - forever in his hands
And wrote – With all my heart – I love daddy - in the sand.
In loving memory of my father: October 29 - 1927- August 11, 2003

4th place in Michael Jordan's contes 'Inside the Heart'
He was my knight in shinning armour,
My shelter from the storm.
God's chosen companion for a day,
We were destined to meet,
Nature our favorite church,
Sheltered by the sounds of the songbirds.
Handsome and revered,
Conversationally enhanced.
Like Romeo and Juliet,
Happiness forever escaped us.
Then like a script from a school play,
Souls touching and experiencing God's kingdom.
Where is he today, my knight in shinning armour,
This maiden would like to converse with you again.
God's dilemma and caress,
May our lives meet again with God's blessing.

Shining Star
I like you just
The way you are
Because you are
My shining star
You brighten my days in
More ways than one
And being around you
Is a lot of fun
You give me strength
When I am feeling low
You thrill me more
Then you will ever know
You make me feel
All fuzzy inside
My true feelings
I cannot hide
My honey on bread
Is what you are
Because you are
My shinning star
trees are shinning
trees are mine
all past diplomas cannot describ my mind
because i am now holding nature with it"s sound
i became the trees owner
and seas ruler
give me a try , i love you sky
let me express you in words of mine
but it is coming now
GOD took from me the beauty of lie
i am not an owner
i am not a ruler
i am just a human who loves nature
so i said what i have said
i love flowers , i love it"s smell
i have seen many lovers , talking about them
they were right
once again , i am a liar
but what can i make
i am trees and flowers lover
i love you natural flowers
and lovely air going on fresh farmers
moon ,are you always white
because you have light
with this light you are white
i wish to have a face like your"s ,what that sounds?
thank GOD for boons
and for rains and clouds
donot be sad people
sad with all this light ?just laught and have funny sound
with all this nights, with all this natural kinds
with nature side
As I lay tucked up in my bed
i see a gliding star fly by
I close my eyes and wonder where you are?
My guardian angel are you that star!
so i bless myself and say a little prayer
My guardian angel guard me to-night,
Tomorrow night
And the next night.
Hold my hand and keep me safe,
Let me have no scary dreams
I promise i will be good
And continue to pray.
Sharing with other's
In my own little way
Clad in shinning metal
Fragile like a flower's sepal
Sheathed in agility
Yet cajoled by uncertainty
My Knight in shinning Armour!
A wonderful contrast
Of bravery and vulnerability!
My Knight! My knight!
Pleasure you've known,passion you've shown
Desire you express,passion you expect
And love you gradually accept.
No longer shall; you be depressed
My Knight! My Knight!
Jealously shall you guided
And possessively shall you claim
'Cause a striking combination
Of strength and submission is what you are.
My Knight in shinning Armour!
Shine golden bright.
A shining star a loyal son
That smile, that wave you were special to us John
We watched you grow as if you were our own
And now we face the future all alone
You set yourself apart from the family
Yet you could never escape their tragedy
We think about what could have been
And shake our heads and say what a sin
We hoped and prayed they were wrong
We are haunted by the memory of that song
Forever young you will always be
And now you’re with John and Bobby
