Time Poems

A Lemon Yellow Hat

The morning light of a new day, 
cascades through the bedroom window. 
I am alone. 
Your pillow is soft, and close by, 
it still smells of you...
barely. 
I can close my eyes, 
and pray to see your...Read More

Knew well mistakes made; How can I forget?
At this age now mind likes to travel back;
Know my drawbacks, past thoughts makes me upset.

You felt, 'twas not right on my part, but yet
asked for your love, tell me what did I...Read More

Evolution gave humans a present
which seems (on first glance) to be pleasant.
We envision the past
and the future — so vast.
But this gift keeps our minds off the present....Read More

Weep not Nigeria,
for justice is in the offing.
Weep not Nigeria,
for your cries resonate and ring.
Weep not Nigeria,
It's time for your African spring.
Weep not Nigeria,
none shall usurp your role as king.
Weep not Nigeria,
for soon in ecstasy you'll sing.
Weep not Nigeria,
for to...Read More

I can't find words to rhyme,
My thoughts are rusty
My pen covered in grime.
The flow is frosty,
Warmth been a long time
Silence at estuary
Vaporizing what does remain
Needling through the ocean
I endeavour to stitch
A tapestry of emotions
Beautiful and rich.
Mused lines, camouflaging
To string in...Read More

 `
Falling out of favor
seems it happens over time
Loosely found intentions
linger forced within a rhyme
Empty little boxes
wait below your every word
Silence comes a calling
not a sound this day is heard
Lines that are delivered
to an audience that’s gone
Nothing found for efforts
bring...Read More

i seemed to
have lost track
of time and also
as to where i'm at

though i left bread
crumbs it seems
some one was
hungry

it even though odd
might have been
me since my
tummy is

rumbling for i 
should have
been at the
ginger bread

she was my sagacity-
the one who eased my 
troublesome culpability

yes, it was her-
                   (the one)
now a fragmented spirit am i

Mimi i miss you,
And i love you,
Nor matter what.
Come rain, come sun
You just happen to be the one,
That i love dearly
And i want truly.

But then, love is best shared, and i am happy to share it with you.
I am human,...Read More

I hope you know 
What we meant to me 
More than any seed I could ever sow

I hope you understand
The impact you had on me
A little undeserved, better than I planned

I hope in time your stars align
And they come closer...Read More

Aunt Rita



My darling aunt words can not express
how much I loved you, the sun is gone
the moon no longer lits my world.
All life has paled without you in it.

I remember a fiesty lady full of life
who poo poo'd things beyound...Read More

Time is musical
It makes me hysterical
I am nervous and hyperactive
Then my bones break like plastic
I love you Allah

Because actually I am manic!...Read More

I'm the believer on

I'm the believer  
on the sovereignty, on the almighty 
of God; of one God 
of Creator, of one creator

I'm believer 
that's why I'm alive 
I'm alive in peace, in love

A leaf on a big tree was happily hanging 
Favorably for every passer-by just to see
He was appreciatively coloured green
Like a bean, he was very much attractive

A treacherous wind rose up to shake’im fall
Forcibly, on the ground he landed green
He...Read More

No time to write a sonnet 
Tip of my tongue not rehearsed
Might be time spent useless
But that’s ok here’s the verse
In the water you set me free
How can i forget
Sins forgiven once for all
Atonement you had met
You hung dry and...Read More

There was pity for one second for the victim in this case,
when 'Hilly', 'Bee' and me were walking to our drinking place.
We were slobbering in thought for what keeps us all afloat, 
then 'Hilly's' eyes flew open wide - "Is...Read More

They’re motives of the weekend - they’re a gardener’s saving grace,
buzzing up and down and ‘round and ‘round cleaning up the place.
There’s nothing like the latest smell of a freshly mown down lawn,
once you ease a hiccup which can cause...Read More

Awe babe!
        I'm so glad that i am your dream guy! Nothing makes me happier
And you done unlocked all of my feelings, fears and secrets
 I've shared things with you that
Ive never shared...Read More

The tired sun sets over an everbustling city
Blinding dazed commuters heading west
Their cars in single file attempt to scatter
I hear a sound of hush descend over the cityscape
While towers scraping as high as they can reach
Just crave to punch their...Read More

WONDERS OF IX A (2019)
Millennium is a box of wonders which crave
To get knowledge, values, principle and love.
In my satchel I have eight wonders that drive
Me crazy, frenzied, rabid. But lo how I love
All of them. Composed, wise sane and...Read More

Arms pinned down, slowly choked out, 
never enough time, or words;
You sliced me, now finish it; 
Feeling up my thoughts, I’m high;  
Your hands covering my mind 
screaming in your frequency; 
Cut off the circulation. 

You have stolen my...Read More

SONG OF THE PIPELINE

Working on the pipeline
Having such a great time
All work and no play
Never know the time of day.

Toiling seven days a week
Never finding time to sleep
Work in mud up to our necks
Have no time to cash our checks.

Sleep...Read More

I have lived life on a collision course,
but, I have now come to a turning point;
and I have wept tears until I am hoarse.

Have been galloping on a magic horse,
never stopping at a single checkpoint;
I have lived life on a...Read More
