Young and energetic to the core;
Social order he tried to restore.
Having seen many like him before,
On his face people shut the door,
Thinking that he was such a bore.
Mere preaching people abhor.
I used to be
an enthusiastic lad
an energetic gad
about town
but time and tide
let me down
can't do the things
I used to do
who knew
it would come to this
with aches pains
spasms and strains
I'm running out of steam
it seems or so I've found
soon they'll plant me
in the happy hunting ground
with no midnight oil
or candle ends left to burn
then at last I'll be past
the point of no return
trying my best
to compartmentalize
these feelings
that are quite novel
in company of or separated from
an individual
who unknowingly energetically
activated something within me
unshakable but sweet
The Arizona Monsoons strike once again
Violent light crashing up towards the sky
Purple cloud chemistry flashes so colorful
Bolts of spider webs splash through the night
A tumultuous sky flares with charged energy
That can strike down with certain death
Watching safely indoors but still hold my breath

energetic enthusiasm everyday
expedites Elle’s expertise
enchanting eccentric elderly
eliminating extraordinary efforts
elevated evenly
ending everyone’s eagerness
I write
Because
My inner light is yet aglow.
I write
Because
Colorful thoughts beckons, day and night.
I write
Because
Fierce energy takes flight.
I write
Because
Rise of warmth gives much gusto.

Funny how I went from the energetic Young Man
Always eager to be seen and heard
To the same energetic Young Man
Who now cares less about being seen or heard
Life!
Life!
The entity that turns out not to be what we hoped hoped and dreamed for
Funny how we went all the way from waking up to the smell smell of Mama's Jollof rice
To like hating the idea of sun rise
Every day different meals
Now, everyday, different problems
Life!!
Life!!
Very miraculous how I have gone from the Young Man that cares so much about what people will say
To the same Young energetic man who no longer gives a damn about the opinion of people
Right now...
I don't even want to be heard
I don't even want to be seen
In fact, I don't want to be understood
I just want to live to see the next rising of the sun
Solve the problems that can be solved
Return energies that can be returned
Keep putting and doing my best
And just be me on my own in my world
Life!!!
Life's reality indeed
Are beyond theories and assumptions
E no be anybody's mate
Yet, it will teach all of us what we need to know

If we want to succeed,
We need to sweat and bleed.
Exhilaration grips my heart with thrills
Vibrant colors, alive and filled with light
Energizing sparks laugh as my heart stills
Glistening like stars burning through the night
Vibrant colors, alive and filled with light
Caressing my soul with a kind solace
Glistening like stars burning through the night
Glowing in soft beams of hues so flawless
Caressing my soul with a kind solace
Energizing sparks laugh as my heart stills
Glowing in soft beams of hues so flawless
Exhilaration grips my heart with thrills

There is more energy generating in your system when you are down unfortunately only few are taking advantages of this and claim up the ladder but most get demotivated and finding no energy to even to stand up and walk.

Love on board
Beyond measure
True feelings
Porter's duty
Luggage checked in
Few kisses ready
Comfort zone
Where else can love fly?
To bliss city
Where joy invades
Rainy eyes
Joyful tears knock
Where is the key?
Call Bae, the Porter
Heart's door to open
Mould, mould
Love is the porter.
