The Lord I now seek for His great wisdom*
Always perfect since He makes no mistakes
Graciously He grants with His good freedom
Unchaining my soul from sins it partakes
Enabling me to advance His kingdom.
*James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

She entered my life in hardened black heels,
Striding right up to my gate,
With her dead black eyes staring ahead,
Defiantly devouring my fate,
This first impression, no second chance,
Of power and strength dressed in black,
Her enduring depth walked up to me,
As the rain and the lightening cracked,
In this night of change, night of light,
Night that would lead to nowhere,
She changed my life, in this dark stormy night,
Unchaining my life from this chair,
This woman, this ghost, this witch of the night,
In the storm she gave me the key,
To become who I am, the man I now am,
Of happy and honest and free.

I changed
the locks
on our place
.. yesterday
I was
physically
and metaphorically
changing
the locks in
the place
I live inside
unchaining
The hold
you had
on me
Then
readjusting
my safety
So you
couldn't
roam free
Coming
and going
inside
my head
protecting
the soft spots
that are
now cemented
with the
epitaph
that read
You once had
a place
inside
my head
But now you
don't have
the key
because now
you are dead
take that
place
You
once had
inside
my head
and
dig a hole
then
shovel dirt
over it
then
walk
away from
that
burial plot
and
breathe
a sigh
of relief
and think
to myself
now im
eternally free
because
you don't
have a key
and
now you are
dead to me

I wanna wake up and be blinded be your grin
You spent all your time in my tent
We even ride behind tint just to hide from your friends
But I'm not ashamed of you
I'm focused on changing you
Unchaining you until your heart is free
Don't start with me i know I'm aggressive , overprotective , A drunk brainiac that's so restless
But at night I lay my head where your chest is
Despite all our wrestling
I wanna tell my Bestfriend he can be my best man
I know saying this is so jr high school
But I like you
In prison with my feelings so in my thoughts I write you sweet letters like we should be together
You my Coachella our love is good music
Above the influence but you convinced me to cook for you
I look for you but you no where to be found
I'm not shook because when I needed you you weren't around
I Smile without a doubt but I hate you Because of you I'm drunk on the couch

Lady you make the fire burn warm inside beauty
arising sun setting deep radiant reflections glimmer
Mirror of happiness who sings most beautiful in daylight
tonight a million stars may shine upon waves silver dance
Taking a spirit inside the truest heartbeat sparkling diamond luster
only one who holds forever treasuring each passing moon howls
You came to me each waking new day immortal winks
beating soft tender drum rolls echo deeply love a faraway paradise
Soulful emotions shines golden within emotions pearl drops
unchaining a dream the waterfalls flowing to the ocean sing
Silken soft ribbons tie feelings inside bound one knot touching
always the flickering candle lights shadows dance with truth

SUBMERGED IN FEMININESSENCE
e valued price of
precious key
unchaining doors imagined locks
that set free
a girl is born
the stage is set
manoeuvring moves
that control and direct
discerning a world
through perceptive eyes
instinctively she knows
all truth from lies
then
we fail to….
RECLAIM OUR
LUMINESCENSE
FEMININESSENCE
F earless faithful friendly funny and frank
E xhuberant emotional energetic or easygoing
M ultifaceted masterpieces mighty yet modest
A ffectionate adaptable amicable but ambitious
L oving loyal life-givers lusciously lofty in lingerie
E nthusiastically effective embracing edified by
FEMININESSENCE

The night has befallen me
Rescue me, unchain me
Sacred Lorelei
Bleeding a passion of royalty
Forever I'll follow your Argentine cloak
with the most deadly pacts
beautiful Witch
Sacred Lorelei
Tell me did the ravens Hear my cry
My misery's plea
Sacred Lorelei
Was this all just upon a dream
Lucidity becoming reality
of my Sacred Lorelei
A fiat of darkly desire
from a most beautiful witch
unchaining the burden of my misery
All for my
Sacred Lorelei

Unchaining the chained
Is my ultimate gain
Life we live is of chain
Full of manacles and shackles
Let we unchain the chained
Legs and hands under siege
Even our head and mouth
Cannot be free of doom
Can we ever leave above the gloom?
In chain we desire freedom
For our land is full of boom.

In the morning when I was about leaving
Aunty Rose’s house in Iba,it was
An Environmental day in Lagos.

Hey… I can feel your pain
Though you may not show it… completely
I… know how you feel
Something is ripping you… on the inside
Just know… that it is ok
Don’t let it build up
Because you don’t want to be like me
Just cry… let everything out
Free your mind… and allow the pain to subside
Just cry… let the binds fall free
Unchaining your soul…
As long as you’re free from misery
There… are situations when
You find it hard to… deal with
Though… you try to set it aside
And hid your true… feelings
But know… that it is ok
Don’t let it build up
Because you don’t want to die like me
Just cry… let your tears flow easily
Don’t hold anything back… release yourself
Just cry… You’ll thank me later
Though it isn’t necessary… at least right now
Just know… that it is ok
Don’t let it build up
Because you don’t want to be like me
Just cry… let everything out
Free your mind… and allow the pain to subside
Just cry… let the binds fall free
Unchaining your soul…
As long as you’re free from misery
