The Kola Nut's Sacred Bond

In Igbo land, where tradition holds sway,
The kola nut's significance, is celebrated each day,
A symbol of unity, of peace and of love,
Breaking the kola, sent from above.

With three lobes, like the Trinity's might,
The kola nut represents, the bond between day and night,
Between the living and the dead, it bridges the gap,
A sacred ritual, that seals the pact.

In gatherings and meetings, it's the first to be shared,
A sign of respect, of hospitality, and of love unfeared,
The kola nut's breaking, is a prayer, a wish, and a vow,
A sacred tradition, that's passed down, from generation to generation now.

The kola nut's spirit, is a guardian of the land,
A witness to the agreements, made hand in hand,
It stands for fairness, justice, and truth, so bright,
A shining example, of the Igbo people's light.

In the breaking of the kola, the people come together,
United in their diversity, like the kola's three lobes in one weather,
Their differences forgotten, as they share in the sacred rite,
The kola nut's bond, a symbol of their unity, shining so bright.

The kola nut's significance, goes beyond the ritual and the tradition,
It represents the values, that the Igbo people hold with devotion,
Respect, hospitality, love, and unity, are the values that they hold dear,
The kola nut's sacred bond, a reminder of these values, year after year.

Make Sure You Love You

In the mirror's gaze, a reflection stares
A soul so worthy, yet often unaware
Of the love that's needed, the care that's true
The acceptance that starts with "I love you"

Embrace your flaws, your quirks, your grace
Your strengths and weaknesses, your every trace
Love the lines that tell your story so far
Love the heart that beats, the soul that shines like a star

In a world that criticizes, compares, and judges too
Remember to be kind, to yourself, anew
For you are enough, just as you are
A unique masterpiece, beyond compare

So let the love you seek, begin with you
Embrace your worth, your beauty, your truth
Make sure you love you, with all your heart
And you'll find that love will never depart.

Be my Peace, I've got enough Pain

My heart is weary, my soul is worn
From the weight of struggles, the sting of scorn
I've walked through fire, and weathered the rain
And I'm searching for solace, a refuge from the pain

Be my peace, my shelter from the storm
My calming presence, my gentle form
I've got enough pain, enough heartache and woe
I need your soothing balm, your peaceful glow

In your arms, I find my peaceful nest
A place to lay my weary head, and find my rest
Your love is my solace, my comfort and my guide
Be my peace, my love, and let my heart reside

So let the world outside, with all its strife and pain
Fade into the background, as I bask in your peaceful reign
For with you by my side, I know I'll be alright
Be my peace, my love, and fill my heart with light.

Long Hours and a few Dying Flowers

Long hours tick by, slow and cold
As petals drop, and beauty grows old
A few dying flowers, once full of grace
Now wilted, faded, without a trace

Of vibrancy, of life, of color bright
Leaving only memories, a distant light
The hours drag on, a relentless pace
As beauty fades, and time takes its place

Yet in the wilting, there's a strange allure
A poignant beauty, a fleeting allure
A reminder that life is short and sweet
And every moment, we must seize and greet

So let us cherish the flowers, dying though they be
And honor the hours, long and slow as they may be
For in their fragile beauty, we find a truth profound
That life is precious, and every moment, a treasure to be found.

Odinanwa, The Orphan's Lament

In the land of the Igbo, where the sun dips into the west
A young boy child wandered, with a heart that was unblessed
His mother's passing, left him alone and blue
A fate worse than death, for a child who once knew

The warmth of a mother's love, the comfort of her gentle hand
Were now but distant memories, in a world so grand
He roamed the forests, with tears that never dried
Searching for a love, that he could not find

His name was Odinanwa, a name that meant "the pathfinder"
But now he was lost, in a world that seemed so unkind and rudderless
He cried out to the gods, to Chukwu and to Ani
"Why hast thou forsaken me, and left me to suffer thus?"

The villagers passed by, with sympathetic eyes
But none could fill the void, left by his mother's demise
He was but a child, with a heart so pure and bright
Left to face the world, without a guiding light

The moon rose high, in the midnight sky
As Odinanwa lay, on the cold hard ground to cry
He wept for his mother, for the love they used to share
For the warmth of her embrace, that he could no longer bear

But still he held on, to the memories of her love
A love that though gone, would forever rise above
And in his heart, a flame, of hope did still burn bright
A light that guided him, through the dark and endless night

Trying to Heal, but We Can't Heal

Tears fall like rain upon my soul
As I search for solace, a place to call whole
But like a mirage, it vanishes in air
Leaving me shattered, with no one to care

I try to heal, but wounds run too deep
Memories of joy, now taunt me in sleep
Echoes of laughter, now a haunting sigh
Reminding me of what I'll never deny

The ache within, a hollowed space
A grief so profound, it cannot be replaced
I yearn to mend, to stitch and to bind
But the fragments of my heart, forever left behind

In darkness, I search for the light
A guiding star, to lead me through the night
But like a fleeting dream, it disappears from sight
Leaving me lost, in this endless fight

I try to heal, but scars won't fade
A constant reminder, of the love that's been made
To let go, to move on, to find my way
But the heart, it remembers, night and day

Oh, the agony, of trying to heal
When the hurt, it still feels so real
Like an open wound, that refuses to close
A sorrow so piercing, it forever grows

In this abyss, I'm left to atone
For the love, the loss, the memories I've known
But like autumn leaves, they wither and fall
And I'm left with nothing, but this hollow call

I try to heal, but we can't heal
For some wounds, they forever will reveal
The depth of our pain, the weight of our grief
A sorrow so strong, it forever will leave.

Patience's Palette

In canvas of existence, a masterpiece unfolds,
Beautiful things take time, like tales of old.
A symphony of moments, intricately designed,
Each stroke of seconds, a work of art divine.

Like petals of roses, tenderly they sway,
Unfurling beauty, with each passing day.
The sculptor's chisel, chips away with care,
Revealing majesty, beyond compare.

Seasons of growth, like layers of earth,
Nourish the seedling, of radiant birth.
Sunbeams of patience, illuminate the way,
Guiding the journey, through life's busy day.

Rivers of time, flow smoothly to sea,
Shaping the shores, of destiny.
The weaver's loom, threads of experience spin,
Tapestry of wisdom, with each passing kin.

Oh, beautiful things, don't rush to the stage,
For premature blooms, wither in life's gauge.
Let moments mature, like ripening fruit,
Savoring sweetness, in patience's pursuit.

In patience's crucible, gold is refined,
Purified by fire, the heart and mind.
The beauty of time, like sunrise unfurls,
Revealing splendor, in life's whorls.

Embrace the wait, don't rush the pace,
For beautiful things take time, in every place.
Let patience's palette, paint life's design,
And beauty will bloom, in its own sweet time.

The Sad Things About Being A Good Person

A heart full of kindness, a soul so bright,
Yet often taken advantage of, day and night.

You give and you give, till you're drained dry,
But few reciprocate, and fewer ask why.

You see the best in everyone you meet,
But they may not see the good in you, so sweet.

You forgive and forget, with a gracious heart,
But the pain lingers, a constant, nagging part.

You're always there for others, through thick and thin,
But when you need them, they're nowhere to be found within.

Your empathy runs deep, your compassion true,
But sometimes it feels like it's all anew.

You're vulnerable, open, and honest too,
But others may misuse your trust, and hurt you anew.

You wish for fairness, for justice to reign,
But life's not always fair, and pain remains.

Still, you hold on to hope, to love and light,
For being good is who you are, day and night.

Keep shining, dear heart, don't lose your way,
For your goodness makes a difference, every single day.

Anchor in the Storm

In the midst of my chaotic sea,
Where waves of worry crashed over me,
You appeared, a calming shore,
A peaceful haven, where love was stored.

Your presence soothed my troubled mind,
A gentle breeze that left my heart aligned,
With every beat, my love for you grew,
In the chaos, our love shone true.

You were the anchor that held me tight,
The guiding star that lit up my night,
With you by my side, I felt complete,
Together, our love found its sweet retreat.

In the middle of my chaos, there was you,
A love that shone, a heart that was true,
Forever with you, my love will stay,
In the chaos, our love will find its way.

Platonic Ode

Oh, noble soul, thy beauty shines so bright
A radiant star, that guides me through life's night
In thy companionship, I find my peaceful nest
A haven of friendship, where my heart can rest

Thy mind, a treasure trove, of wisdom and of grace
A fountain of inspiration, that does fill my space
Thy heart, a sanctuary, of kindness and of light
A refuge from life's storms, where I can take flight

Together we explore, the realms of thought and art
Our conversations, a sweet harmony that does never depart
In thy embrace, I find a love that's pure and true
A platonic bond, that forever shall renew

Oh, dear friend, thou art a blessing to my life
A precious gift, that does my soul enrich and rife
May our friendship forever flourish and grow
A platonic love, that forever shall glow.
