Still my tum begs for more What yours for days has been denied, For hunger there to roar. Empty tummy twirls blank your eyes, Then you fall down and faint. Still you rise just to find...

The flutes afloat, am I dreaming, it seems not right. Bluebirds - I cannot see their melody in flight. From the grand-girls, I love the sunflowers - a ray. The flowers crisp; I let them die; no other way. Scent of roses, a-breeze;...

Look Mama
Look mama, your daughter appears happy, but is slowly dying inside. She is suffering in silence just tryna get by. She learns to build up walls so that no one can ever see, just how badly her heart does bleed She grows accustom to her ways, sabatoging everything in her path. She subconsciously holds alot of...

Two Of A Kind

Amidst much darkness, pain, and inequality, You allowed your light to shine radiantly. Nothing you...

The Auction
The auction began and I could feel my pulse patter, If I don't get this house, my heart it may shatter. I got my ducks in a row, when I saw the sale poster, It's been a ride to get here, a real rollercoaster. You see, the house was my Mama's, but she got in a rut, The bank...

My dear Mama, oh so dear, A mother true, always near. From childhood's dawn till present day, You guided us, showed the way. With "Sugar Boy" by your side, Together you led, with love and pride. To "Oko Eti-ose" and "Oko Okuku" farms, We trekked, with loaded arms. The roads were long, the loads were heavy, I cried, but you helped me be brave. Coming...
