Allahu Akbar

Allahu Akbar!
Heads rolled, limbs frayed, wow!
An ocean of blood, Allahu Akbar!!
Their reason for the season

Martyrs of wiles on these simple lie
Allahu Akbar! 20 virgins tiredly waiting,
Fresh tomatoes winking
it is I

Allahu Akbar!!
Peace in white, simplicity adorning
God in man, man in God
Emmanuel

Will peace through these heathen rise?
Or shall their Alleluias ring? Allahu Akbar!
From the east, their tiny star shone
Dome, doom, mime, maim, gbom!
Allahu Akbar!!

Shoulder to shoulder they stood
Allahu Akbar!
Echoing in splaterring flesh
God in man, man in God
Allahu Akbar!

God is the greatest
Senile man plays God
fixing the wrongs of who,
Allah?

Fireworks in their sky
curl up before lightening kiss the thunder
joy immeasurable facing the star
winking tomatoes screaming I
Je suis Charlie

The Ka'bah, so peaceful
see how it stitches the world
with bombs and explosives
from Baga to Paris
peace offering chanting
Allahu Akbar!

Back In Chain

Hashtags polling

virtual war, viral

naija stand by

wait!

Fall they will,

like pack of cards

in the face of cash

Sandcastle disco!

Sing-song voice, rings hello

trained roll of the tongue

cultivated baritone

a pitch here and there, emoting

Back in chains

tongue under this blade lies

cool, feeling cool,

hugging the chains

listening to the Cool FM

What a way to be cool?

Mangling words

tangling slurs and extended 'r's

silent 't's revving

superiority screaming

welcome back

Voice picked out of the box

tailored, washed&Iron dried

even those whose fathers'

couldn't afford a tube

told stories of summer school

in harmattan

Gonna, wanna, perhaps fonna

from the mastery of their tongues

came out slightly, then wholly

half baked sausages

dropping with a dum!

announcing back in chain

Laugh, they laugh at 'my fellow widows'

her version of English mimicry worthy

strength of character makes a wife

not the slurred 'r's and dimmed 't's

Don't get it twisted

So the next time she comes

thinned out at her vitals

'nasal-ing, tangling& mangling' words

be patient to tell her to untie her knots

before cavorting you to sleep in peace

back in chain your fathers bled off their necks

Life

The curtain tears at the centre stage
On a dancing mother and her saddled baby
Birds whistle, trees dance as the cock crows
The fire, whir, caresses her to ash
The new sizzling act oozing panache
The herald of a new dawn
 The snoring clouds will give birth to a novel day
Poco a poco, the journey commences
Whoa! He makes it to the cast in life
The number one movie in the box office
See! The smouldering sun, fireballs everywhere
The boy, a man, a lion...
Rolling in the deep
Solomon please last forever
Progressively the day bids farewell as the sun fades away
The stage illuminates in her consummate intimacy with the moon
Basking in the euphoria of virginity long lost
Solomon, a boy, bag of bones
The moon wax stronger as the night crawls in stealthily
Zero, oh! Oh, zero! Time of reckoning calling
The weary act takes a big bow as the centre stage closes
And his shadow fades back to oblivion.

Beautiful Liar

Check at heaven's home
To sort the fragment of what it is
Bathed in Venus
Idyllic
Hat askew to see the heart
Change gear
Flutters
Drums harder
Uh! My chest
Hunky 
You sparkle
Glittering like a million stars
My diamond
Twister 
Head turner 
Beautiful Liar

My Daughter's Victory

MY DAUGHTER'S VICTORY

A lie
A deceit from hell 
Basket filled with lies
Lies still in his grave 

A misery
Talk the walk
A wise fool 
Very faultless

An Infidel
Sticks to the pants that feeds him
Scratches his feet on the ground
Like a day old chick 
In quest of a corn seed

A beast
Better caged up in the zoo
Barks, a dog
Bites without instincts
Apologetically useless

Oh! my unborn daughter
Bonded in the spirit
It hurts anytime it flashes my mind that
Angels have also had their fair share
Of the tyrant head
I cry

But, I find solace in the fact
That my daughter is I
Well groomed, properly taught and well fed
My daughter, my love, my life
I can't wait for the extermination of man
That glorious morn when my daughter and I
Would smile at his fall at the foot of his grave
Celebrating my daughter's victory.

His Eyes

I got lost in his eyes
As its hot stares flushes through my soul
Eyes evoking want
Needing care only I can give
In his eyes are sanctuaries
Built for my long long sleep in his arms
Eyes filled with so much of me
Devouring, savoring every ounce of my being
In his eyes of yoke
Waiting divinely patiently for me
I pray looking deep in his eyes
I watched yoke of want fleeing with her wings
His eyes my paradise my stay
Where I love to live all days of my life
Oh...Oh... his eyes
Nesting my heart
Eyes shrouded from other cares than mine
Oh eyes! Eyes of yours
Where I delve to find solace in pains
Eyes o eyes
Eyes ubiquitous
Everywhere for me to see

Opportunist

Smiles in face pale

Benign heart fades to black

Smart and sassy

Opportunist at her peak

 

Bottomlessness of ingratitude

Shambles of shame

Shadow of wrath

Empty filthy air

 

Heartless hopeless

Tomorrow 'll come

I'll see what it would be

With you at the wheel

 

So unbelievable

I toiled,I worked

I endured and I...

But it's hard to believe

I'm the butt

 

The gun in your hand

Fire away without care

I don't care how it hurts

Wished I had known better

 

Well doesn't it serve me right

Lost in close empty chase

Trying to better what's lost

Spoilt forever and ever

 

Forever forever and a day

Forever forever 'll make a way

Forever forever I 'll say

I did enjoyed the burnt stake

 

I thank God it's now

In shaky heavy heart

Leaping relentlessly to stop

Nothing for grabs

Nothing for keeps

 

The mannequin and her sword

Piercing..oh pincer tear away in mercy

The long long battle set

We shall see how it goes.

Nika Epo

Every scene leads to nought
Fazes out at the very sight of you
For how long would I shield you?
Oxygen

A river gathering no moss
What we share, tranquil peace
Far beyond human comprehension
I’m lost without you
 
Weakness down to the limbs
Numbness in the marrow
Voice in gasps, rustled, grounded
Rooted to a spot

Fluttering heart, usurp thoughts
Me in your guard to guide
Anywhere you lead I follow
Do I’ve a say?

Lounging, awaiting you pass-by
My reverie, shaped, sharper
The look in your eyes
Fazes out scintilla doubts

Exclusively yours I’m to do as you please
Toss to and fro as your halo leads
My halo, my guide, my guard
I’m yours…

Erudite Scholar

Walk unpacified strides gently down the way
Moves unpredescented glides gently for the foray
Eyes locked,gaze in a lustful guise
Black gentility melange smiling eyes with a touch of topaz
Fingers tiny in a sexy set unison of a kind
Beautifully and wonderfully made
Longing to disappear
Flee with lips spitting "hi's"
The golden turn,smile of an angel
Oh,what a beauty Monalisa would chide from
Ravishingly raw wound with strewn muscles
Drew me closer than I ever thought
My erudite scholar won't you read me?
Read me like your long long array of books
Shelved and stashed away in places you alone can reach
I noticed you from go...
The day the mountain came to Mohammed
Ever,ever fresh in memory for keeps
As I'm carefully left alone to sort out
The left over of my thoughts
Would I ever let go of you?
I wonder

Time

Wake up! Wake up!! It's dawn
Time crawling stealthily slipping away to oblivion
What a doom lies awaiting treasure keepers
Oh,what a doom
The  world's listening ear has no choice
What an opinion do you think she has
When all she can do is listen with her hitching ears,
Begging. Indeed can she wait any longer for your manifestations?
No.
Ripe is the hour
Yellow like fresh bananas from Benin
Pick it up and don't let it die
Here is a challenge to be your best
Please don't settle for less
