Dear Mother

DEAR MOTHER

Dear Mother of all
Sweetest mother of all Time
Queen of the world of women
You never aborted me
You raise me with your hard earn
You teach me the way of the righteous
You Bless me with the blessing of your mouth
Who will I praise if not you
Who will I believe if not you
Who will I trust if not you
You that carry me for nine months
You put me to bed on the 17th Day of the Sixth Month of the Glorious Year
You breast feed me till I am fit for the race
You put together your earning for my first birthday
You work under the sun and the rain just for me to be among equals
I understand it is not easy in this part of the world
Yet you gave me a reason to live
And even though I heard I use to be stubborn when I a little kid
Yet your love for me never ceased
Memories fade me not of my past failure
You hold me close to you and whisper to my ear saying
"Foluso The sun still shine, you can still make it"
No wonder I am reaching my goals now because your Sweet words still live in me
Words are not enough to express how I feel
But I have to tell you this Sweet mother
Ain’t a woman alive that can take my mama’s place

Sweet Love

Written date 02/11/2012

Run with me to the coast line
Lay down on the beach sand
Pull me slowly with your soft hand
With your tenderness under the purple sky


Purr out sound to my gentle touch
Like the dove in their morning speech
Fly your mouth around my lips on the beach
Just like the butterfly and the flower petals


Take me round the garden of your chest
Let me live in between the cluster of your torso
With an imaginary milk in my mouth passing gene
In a garden full of roses in the shape of your heart


Lay close to me for my body balance in the cold of winter
Sit me on the bend palm tree under the yellow sun of summer 
Walk with me on the path of dry gold leaves of the trees of autumn
Be my evergreen sweet love in the spring boom when my body is calling 


Among the bird of the air I am flying
Flying to your heart for my sweet resting
Resting in an endless peace to loving you more
In the romance that I name after a sweet love

Hate Me Now

Hate me now when you can still find your way back home
Hate me now to see what is good for you
Hate me now when your view of me is not what you see
Hate me now in the morning for your meaningful afternoon
Hate me now in this sunny noon so I can melt with the sun set
Hate me now before the crack of dawn for your redefinition
Hate me now for what I didn’t do for you
Hate you now for all the things u didn’t do for me
Hate you now when I can also find myself another home
Hate you now for all the promises you never live up to
Hate you now for I see the sun shines again for me
Hate us together for all the thing we didn’t achieved

75 Miles

I journey for love on 75 miles
With admiration for your love

I walk pace the hill of 75 miles
With respect for your person

I swim through an ocean of 75 miles
With determination to be your king

I travel with butterflies on 75 miles
Only to pick you in a city of tenderness

My car tank runs dry on 75 miles
Your love fuels the engine to reach you

Morning, noon and night on the 75 miles
Your love never stops raining dew on me

I am on 75 miles from Lagos to Ibadan
To find you the queen of all women

Goodbye

The leaves are crying 
Winter takes charge

The daylight is gone 
Quietness takes place

The church bell is ringing goodbye 
Angels are singing welcome

The time is getting high 
Check out what is left behind 

So quicker than thought 
Yet a life is gone 

Everyone will go this journey 
Time unknown to anyone is the reason for this goodbye in tears

Away and Back

Is there traffic on the way
We have no reason to sway
Is there another road we could take
We are lost and we pray

Is there here a shay
Carry me to the north of this bay
Is there still much we could pay
We are aging and we pray

Under the silver cloud of May
We meet again to make our way
Back to the place where we laid
Away and back to our love play

Deep Dream

Among the birds of the sky I am flying 
Without wings singing among angels

Looking down to earth I am walking 
Without wings trading among human 

In the deep sea I am swimming 
Without fins playing among fishes 

I grow tall high among the plants
Without roots growing green leaves

Thunder sounds loud as I wake 
To a world far from where I have traveled in my deep dream

Bittersweet Life

I wake up to no peace of mind
I was asked if my dream was blind
I say to them its dark how do I find
My way before I am left behind

I wake up to see we all fear
I know it’s heavy to bear
If it’s simple we could have shared
With the ones that are near

I wake up to see no one is free
Only if we knew we have locked death with key
The life we live is just for a wee
Bittersweet lives as we all see

Review

Review your love to me 
Just like the plants in its spring boom 
With evergreen love from the blossom
When the falling dew are still pure 

Review the feelings that you have for me 
Just like the ocean wave in its peak 
With surge and mighty sound to its peace 
When the shining sun is still hot 

Review the joy of your heart towards me 
Just like the white snow in the winter 
With strong cold and freezing water
When my boat can still reach your shore

Review the care and my admiration 
Just like your dreams review to you 
With your love as a crown on my head 
When my heart still calls for you 

Review it if you love me 
Say it to me when u sees me
On your knee I am crying 
Crying to be in clover with you on review

I Have Not Given Up On You

All I thought I had I have lost
Just like the puff of powder, they’re gone

At the top of my voice I cry out loud
From my eyes are two fountains forming ocean

City after city I have moved hoping
Yet I am still in my wonderland waiting

I am pulling out strength to make it 
It all melted like the kindle in the wind

And if you're trying my faith in all this time 
Just know Lord, I have not given up on you
