Seyi Ojenike Poem
When the mist is gone,
And the stitches finished,
But wounds not healed,
My sub-conscious, painting the scene
As I quiver in fear
Of the human race.
Wake me!
Eyes flash, back
That unfolded october cold finger,
Poking my nerves.
Eyes stare in disbelief,
And a Jaw sagging beneath,
My reach
I raised my voice,
Half-crying, half-cursing,
Murderers!
Beasts!
Shocked beyond the ordinary.
Out of my solitude,
Rode my voice, on echoes
Telling the wind,
Let the pain of faceless
Quench my anger.
Still no response in return,
Leaving me stuck on
Why?
A naked day of mad fire
... silence.

Seyi Ojenike Poem
Their minds are a paradox,
A riddle too complex to solve.
Their thoughts like a labyrinth,
A maze of madness that evolves.
They walk among us, hidden in plain sight,
A puzzle to be deciphered, a mystery to unfold.
For they are the sane mad men,
Whose stories are waiting to be told.
Their creativity knows no bounds,
As their minds dance to a different tune.
For in their madness, they have found
A world that lies beyond the moon.
They see beauty in chaos,
A different kind of truth they find.
Their imagination runs wild,
For they have a different kind of mind.
Some call them crazy, some call them mad,
But they see the world with different eyes.
They are the ones who never conform,
For they are the ones who dare to rise.
Their minds a canvas, their thoughts a brush,
They paint a picture that's uniquely theirs.
For in their madness, they have found a rush,
A feeling that only a few ever dares.
So, let us embrace these sane mad men,
For they are the ones who make life a bit more fun.
For in their madness, they have a gift to share,
A new perspective, a different kind of sun.

Seyi Ojenike Poem
In my mind, a labyrinthine maze,
Where thoughts twist and turn in endless chase,
And I'm caught in a frenzied daze.
Memories flash like lightning blaze,
And dreams take flight in an elusive space,
In my mind, a labyrinthine maze.
Emotions surge, a turbulent race,
As I struggle to find a steady place,
And I'm caught in a frenzied daze.
The path ahead is hard to trace,
And I fear I'll lose the human race,
In my mind, a labyrinthine maze.
Yet through the haze, a glimmer of grace,
A spark of hope that I might embrace,
And I'm caught in a frenzied daze.
I'll find my way out of this place,
And rise above the endless rat race,
In my mind, a labyrinthine maze,
And I'll break free from this frenzied daze.

Seyi Ojenike Poem
I heard! Heard your spirit soar
As wind of time blows to your end
Like rags in a gentle breeze.
What wonders will today bring
What boxes will gifts jing
What friends will sweet memories ring.
Let the celebration begin,
And tension loosen.
Summon the music
And watch filled glasses clink.
Cheers!
As drinks spill
Showering on your head
Like sweat-beads,
And droop beneath
To moist your feet.
Feet of steps
Steps to glory.
