Happy Birthday To My Ex-Wife

Much had I planned for your day
Forgetting that own I alone past days
 Control of all time lies in His way
As the hidden future reveals by today
Then I know we are used to act His play
God alone make way
Even if we work till May
Glory of our work depends on His may
Best I wish you in your day
The best of life with you stay
Long life in your tale
Peace of mind with you plays
Fulfilment is the price I pay
From the hollowness of my heart I pray

My Home

No wonder snail keeps to its shell
And tortoise prefers its crap
Ocean homes fish exclusively
Balance diet makes no cage home for bird 
Nest is a chosen home for its kind

My bed
So spacious so comfortable
Spring-less but wood-strong-prove 
Bunkmate-less version foam
Though bed-mate at my discretion
Miss you talisman of my sweet dream

My kitchen
Writ of summon from an incorporated trustee of my kitchen
Malnourishment contrary to order 1 rule 2 of home Act 0000
I pleaded ADR instead of litigation
Arbitration fit in for us
Hearing at my sitting room
Dated 31st march,2011
At the hour of 9 forenoon or so soon thereafter
Front loaded document includes
Amala and Ewedu couple with stew wherein soaked meat and its mates
Conferencing in the plaintiff domain [kitchen] with the aids of necessary instrument
Couples’ hug fatal court’s jurisdiction on matrimonial disputes

My Friends
Miss your smiles and well wishes
Your curdles reach not here to wake my heart
I miss jokes we crack to ease pain
That togetherness is dying in me
On my way home to revitalise my spirit

My neighbour
Don’t you miss my disturbances?
Now that you mute as if mourning
On my way home to tickle your dying spirit of humour

My Relatives
Am I not getting detached from this blood tie for long sight?
I left you not that you bore me
Just to fetch royal glue that will bind us to that yonder success
On my way home to reignite aligned 
My enemies
Not that I quit the war 
I retreat to feed my arsenal 
Load and shoot gun may not quit you on time
This Missile kills in million
Yet I display a room for ADR  
If your soul worth living
It’s obvious you way me to pick  
Friendship is sweeter tempt to taste

One Thing I Know

Not the man who father me
For he lacks primary proof
He only digests what he was served
Mother has the knows it all
Woman fakes to outstrip any being
Fact surpasses chemistry of my existence

Not my mother too
Novice in which drop of sperm formed
Resemblance is not birth-proved
Intimacy does it perfect in chemistry
Neither birthdate nor birthplace
My due-date is out of grip
Only a thing I think i know 
Yet I know with certainty
Love from me for real
All are pipe to you
This I know enough

Thank God I Found You

Our world’s vacuum of a better half I thought
My search of universe reveals that
When price couples exchange is tears
 Mime of the shadow’s image of pirated love at alter
Then I mourn the death of love
Then I mourn lovers that never find love

Now that all hope lost in search
At the verge of returning seal to the sealer
You sneak in through the hole of my needle
Then you let me in to the hidden love that I crave for

Love May Lie

Babe!
Mountain against valley were you and i
Two parallels forebode to meet
Yet my love ceased to lie
My heart at night aloud cried
To lay my heart I had to lie
With this I cajoled your why
These I did to make my hand your lea
On my knees remain I awhile
Till your mercy redress my lie
Otherwise I will not again lie
I know I don’t deserve your might

Darling!
I hold your grip alright
Favour forbids your knee and cry
Your place will take mine
For gratitude I hold my breath high
You bought my ignorant for lie
My height alone cannot buy
My want for love was saved by lie
Where would I have been without your lie
Love like this may worth lies
With this lie our love will cease to die

Nigeria of Our Own

Destined we are curdle together by nature
Though at the twin rivers shore
Believing same will provoke harmony 
Bridge on the rivers and wall of our minds 
Let the power that be Strike balance  
Sweet home now wilderness exile
King, Obis, Emirs, Pastors, Imams and likes stoop to stooge
Politicians dictate tune of bomb
And never wait for tone
When shall we learn to live Siamese like these yonder rivers?
I wept for my darling country

Happy Birthday To Poet

Crown to the king is the best offer
Isn’t sun a gift for day?
 Just like moon for night
Power feeds autocrat

What is the feed for a poet?
Four men committee’s report
Instinct Penned paperfor couplet in gift
This alone will fit his pace

Life that long alone not enough
Peace of mind will need to prove
Success will fetch you a worthy life 
Fulfilment ranks above

Today

I care not about yesterday
For it strayed from my tender hold
And yielded not to my whistle
Of what merit is a used tissue?

Tomorrow is a dream of every fool
Several people chase to their grave
It is an unrealistic day
Tomorrow has never come
Tomorrow will never come
Your wait will always be in vain

Today is the most certain
I will always live in today
I am making the best use of my today
Today has never left me like yesterday
I had never waited for today like tomorrow
Today is always with me.

Yetty Dream

Gone are the ladies of worth I hold
Till you are unveiled 
Penned and pegged in the fabrics of esteem
Parents are the mirror of your display
With world in your pocket you bow
With beauty in your flesh you lower
You accept as you are accepted
A wife of a rear comparison
Daughter of a fulfilled parent
Friend of glorious beings
Neighbor of achievers 
Meeting you rebuild my fulfillment
Beauty and virtue never glue
Then you declare exception
 HERE I PRESENT OGUNIYI YETUNDE BLESSING AS FIT & PROPER FOR PERFECTION
