Teminikan

It wasn’t easy turning away from you
Sure like the sun rise
Is your love

Upon my bed I groaned
Sacred vow I made
A budding pal we appeared
Until nature's verdict played
Like Haiti earthquake
My guards shattered
A glowing dream muffled

Upon my bed I groaned
Sacred vow I made
A wave of pain I bore
Sighting you in anguish
Another traumatic jilt 
Repose far from my being
Your sonorous voice I heard

Why did you leave?

*TEMINIKAN* is a pet name between lovers meaning MINE ALONE in Yoruba language

Ododo

At the dusk of the day,
When all souls sojourn the dream land
The 'hood deserted
And the path grimy
While the arctic nurtures my skin
I care not for myself  
Deferring all thought
I walk the soggy valley to pluck a rose
Just for u!

Returning; the leaves
Clap in victory
The moon glows in sheer pride
So the trees dance gallantly
All to hail a hero;
More so; all for you

I thirst for this tick
Patiently relishing it
Living the beacon’s light
Just at its crescendo
It comes a stillbirth
Why haven’t I known?
It isn’t for you
•	ODODO means Rose in Yoruba Language

Caution

CAUTION
Excuse me.......
Say to our Hausa fellow
Tread with caution
Niger is but the nest of sundry
The deeds our patriots
Drag not to the mud

Aluta Continua

We are not crushed
Like a phoenix we rise
Matching with all resonance
Unto this cause we lay breathe
Until we swim in champaign

The odds: our strength
The truth: our source
Though, the trench our haven
In edifice you abode
But we live ahead of time
Right in the palace of posterity

Now we sail in galloping sea
Then shall there be asphalt
For our beasts
Even if we sleep
Our seeds will engender
Soaring like an eagle
So will the cause be rudder
Then shall our learning be rapid
So we shall beam even at sleep

In-Dwelling Peace

IN-DWELLING PEACE
I went up and down in quest of peace
Indeed! I found one: an illusion
I proceeded in my hurt for peace
Obviously my bullet hit one
A wealth of joy filled my being
But was a wolf in sheep clothing
Down cast for shooting a wrong target

Enraged, furious, frustrated!
Aware of my illusion, I press further 
With empire of enthusiasm I move
More conscious of what comes
But non resemble PEACE 
I advanced the search
Patience and courage were wearing
Perturbed the propeller broken 
I realized it dwell not on earth
Weary becomes my patience and courage
The gut to advance faded 
Now camped  and fed by perturbation 
Agitation became the air I breathe 
It dawn on me that PEACE, has no abode

Hold and embraced by illusion
I stumbled across an ancient treasure 
Flipping the pages, was arrested
Behold, what I have been looking for
Reside in this scroll, PEACE
No wonder, no wonder
They call it the word of PEACE

Thou Rain

THOU RAIN
Oh rain why art thou falleth 
Isn’t it to stain the earth?
Yes! To accord a soothing comfort
Oh rain why art thou falleth 
Aren’t you on a mission?  
Hmm... To rescue the earth 
To vomit her eternal burden

Five Decades

FIVE DECADES
It is yet dawn here!
Though the sun smiles glowingly
The souls set to toil
Like hypnotized spirit in deep laughter

It is yet dawn here!
The cloud had fermented
The earth arrogantly molested
Culminating a forced abortion

It is yet dawn here!
The journey had long began
The barns are of suckling
Counsels have been trodden
Five decades of fumbling and stumbling
When will it be dawn here?

Unfair

So engulfed by perturbation
The inner cry was enormous
My heart cracked and sank
Why has she been so unfair?
The courage thinned down

The renowned citadel
Not did I ever apply
The enrolment was unquestionable
A vast place yet crowded
Why has she been so unfair?

The knack to learn unfolded
A citadel without classroom
Yet you tutor by seconds
Oh! You duly engage all
Why has she been so unfair?

Grey Hair

GREY HAIR
It use to
be
the masses
last resort
when the grey hair
was wholesome wisdom
and law
no respecter
of being
but no more

                   A strand
                   of grey hair
                   now gold carat
                   so justice
                   is thrown
                   into the
                   embrace of mint

Thou Iroko

THOU IROKO
The famous king of the forest 
The mother figure of the green groove
As the lion lords over 
All other animals in the forest
So Iroko towers with undeniably,
Caring and encompassing hands
Of its dominion over tree

Oh! King of the forest
Hold forth your comforting hands 
To thy teeming millions of the 
Under- growths which hitherto had
Been mercilessly beaten by the sun

Hail Iroko! Shout!!
Thou old, young, men, and women
Shout and praise
The king and master of the 
Forest to rise for a dance for the
Rhythm and drum beats
Sound so tenacious 
Dance, dance, dance
Oh great king of the forest
