Stanley Oguh Poem
I thought for a moment that
he never felt the PAINS,
When he beared the
burden of our guilts and
STAINS.
You can't imagine what he
went THROUGH,
for him to wipe away all of
our sins THROUGH.
You can't imagine the
whole of the SHAME,
when he left all his fortunes
and FAME.
His head was punctured by
THORNS,
and his body was tortured
untill his cloth was TORN.
They put the nail throught
his hands and FEET,
even as his imaculate and
pure heart BEAT.
He cried out all of tears
from his EYES,
untill his eyes were as dry
as ICE.
They piassed his palm to
the STAKE,
For all of human SAKE.
He didn't have to do it, but
he did it ANYWAY,
for us to change from our
evil WAYS.
He really love us so much
that he took our PLACE,
In sacrificing himself for the
whole of human RACE.
He died for our sins as if
he's the ONE,
in expense of our freedom
cos he WON.
He was humilated in front
of MANY,
And as dejected by MANY.
They gave him the heavy
cross to CARRY,
with so much hatred and
MOCKERY.
He was whipped and
scourged so HARD,
that his screems can be
heard from 10 YARDS.
The stood there at calvary
and watch him DIE,
After all the false
accusations and LIES.
Even when he screemed '
IT IS FINISHED',
The whole world knew that
' IT WAS FINISHED '.
His blood paid that great
price for our SINS,
For us to be free from our
guilt and SINS.
He died bearing the burden
of our INIQUITY,
for the betterment of the
world and all HUMANITY.
It wasn't easy for him to do
IT,
But at d end, it was worth
IT.

Stanley Oguh Poem
Many are the stars in the sky
You my love out shines them all.
Ajike, it's you that paints my heart's garden
It's your smile that gives life to it flowers.
Love flew on the wings of time
And it finds us at the rocky grounds of Ado-Ekiti.
Adunni, it was your beauty that blew my heart
Your smile ajike takes away my ability to speak.
There's something about you ajike
Something special about you omo asake.
Not too delicate for a queen
Yet not too daring for a princess.
Your legs abeni moves with elegance and grace
The earth adores it when you walk.
Idunnu mi,My eyes finds joy in your smile
Just as I found love in your eyes.
Awelewa, it's your beauty that amazes me the most
When I saw you, I thought you were Yeye's first daughter.
Your feet ajike
They're not too tender to dance the bata dance
Not too firm to kneel to blend pepper with the olo ata .
I want to have a life with you idunnu mi
Come to my home ajike; be my bride
Olomi, Come and teach my pots how to make good soup.
Let me taste our love
From those morsels of affection you will make.
Come and make my home and teach our daughters how to make efo riro
Come lets build a family and teach our sons how to greet like we were taught.
Ayunfe, let us ride on the wings of our heritage
And showcase the beauty of our culture.
I might be from the east
But I want to take a walk with you to the feet of Olosunta
So we could listen to the earth therein.
I would love to see the beauty of Oduduwa’s staff
With you of course, when we go visiting the ooni of great Ife.
I would take a tour with you to the Alaafin‘s palace
And say hello to the emperor of the oyo empire.
And when we are done
We would step onto the rocky Ado-Ekiti.
The very origin of our love story
And listen to ewi’s ewi at Udiroko.
And when we're tired ajike
And my eyes too weak to see your wrinkled face.
It will still be you and I on our dying bed
Holding hands; waiting for the transit call.
Into the imperiality of Olodumare's kingdom
Where our love will never see the end line of time.

Stanley Oguh Poem
Dear Love,
I may not be good with
words
because my English
is not fluent, but What I feel
deep
inside my heart
persuades me to express
myself
mathematically. Every time
I see u, u
simultaneously divide my
life into
two equations. Because my
feelings for u cross -
multiply on a daily basis, u
inspire
me to be greater
than zero. Your smile keeps
me in
touch with the
special angles of my heart.
You
make me feel relaxed on
the X-
axis where Y is equals to
zero. When I come
across u, I feel like I'm
turning like
a parabola and
meet you on the turning
point
where I can utter 3
words to you. Words that
describe the mid point
of my heart. Without u my
heart is
like a semi circle.
Because
u stole the other half. I will
appreciate if we could come
together and solve for x so
that we both
stop to be vertically
opposite and
start to be
corresponding angles. I
know u r
intelligent enough to
understand that when it
comes to
trigonometrical
world, we r all positive in
the first
quadrant.love you so much

Stanley Oguh Poem
BREATHLESS......MOTIONLESS.......BREATH TAKING
These words just can't express it all when it comes to you
You take out every words out of my lips
Each time I try explaining how I feel about you
Paradise is the most beautiful sight in creation
The 2nd most beautiful I have ever seen is you
i wanna describe how beautiful you are...
but 1st I need to invent a whole new language just for that
purpose
I don't need a dictionary to define the word 'BEAUTIFUL'
you are all the definition I need to describe it
I still can't believe I have you in my heart
How we met and how we fell in love
Are memories I will forever cherish till I die
The sight of you smiling at me
Arouses and gladdens every part of my soul
Its like sparks of light projecting from the windows of
heavens
and the view of watching the angels lift its wings to fly
To everyone, there are 7 natural wonders of the world
To me, there's only one natural wonder in this world & its
YOU
Your voice is bliss made in heaven When you talk,
everything stops to listen
Even the earth stops rotating round the sun just to hear
you
Your voice is the melody of a thousand love songs to my
ears
Its like liquid enchantment poured into my eardrums
The very moment you walked through the doors of my heart
Is the very moment where I first experience heaven on
earth
You took away my sense of speech
The very first time you said to me ' I LOVE YOU '
I stood still like an electrocuted fellow
I just didn't know the right words to say
All I wanted was to keep hearing it over and over again
it echoed deep down my eardrums and kept my ears
ringing
And the first time we kissed?
Made me lose my conscious state and awareness of what
surround me
You are a precious gift of inestimable value
a friend created with virtue of grace and love
You deserve all the good things life has got to offer
That's why I want to spend the remaining half of my life to
grant you all of it
i've got your face tattoed on the walls of my heart
And the imprint of your smile brightens my existence
My head is like a memory card filled only with pictures &
thoughts of you
Even a screwdriver cannot unscrew thoughts of you from
my head
Without you I'm incomplete Like Thor without its hammer
Like a man without a soul and a world without air
My queen, I'm the snail, you're my shell
The only thing that will make me leave you is if am dead
i can't let u go u are like the sun; both my light, my centre
of gravity
without u, i'll fall apart like a broken soul
If I could be forever young, I would be forever yours I still
wanna grow old with you tho
I want tomorrow, but I don't want tomorrow if you won't be
in it
I'll never be perfect... but I'll always be yours
til my every hair is white, and my age enters 3- digits, and
im toothless and wrinkled...i'd still be loving you.

Stanley Oguh Poem
Through the darkness, there came a light
Though so far but yet so bright.
I close my eyes and look deep insight..
I walk this darkness without a fright.
I clutch this image like a precious sight,
The one that sets my heart alight.
I hold that thought and now I write,
With the thought of us on this night.
I travel this road to find affection
I now edge closer and taste perfection.
The darkness evades, I've found protection
I reach this light to build my connection.
My strength has now so briskly grown,
I no longer feel I travel alone.
I continue to proceed on this empty path,
The wait is long but I show no wrath.
The star may seem so far away,
I set fourth my travels to meet that day.
I hold my faith and wait these years,
So far I've come, its worth those tears.
I stand, I sit and now I stare,
I look beyond me and see you there.
I've found the light and now I smile,
I've found my strength to crawl this mile.
I accept love like its my treat,
The thought is real, I'm now complete.
I hear sweet voices in my head,
They say my path is clear ahead.
Some just try but yet they fail,
The unconditional love that we prevail.
I had my freedom, I made this choice,
I found my love, I now rejoice.
I never believed I'd find this love,
Like that beautiful star from above.
I questioned love and what I feel
With you I learnt my love is real.

Stanley Oguh Poem
Just in a twinkle of an eye
A shining star goes off the sky
Before liniment could get to the aching sore
The transition is made through the exit door
Faster than the drop of rain from the cloud
The bell of judgment rings aloud
The sky goes blue
And the journey of life goes into review
Going from light to dark
Leaving behind a distinguish mark
Flashes of timeline and memories
That of happiness and those of miseries
Starting from the first seconds at birth
To the very last minute on earth
From every action
To it opposite reaction
From every drop of tears shed
To every strain of pain beared
From numerous evil that was suffered
To the few good that was whole heartedly offered
It goes on and on and on
Round every deed done under the sun
Bringing to a climax a journey of self discovery
A fairy tale of soul recovery
It sure will come at an unpredicted time
That unknown seconds which hunts us through our
life time
The hour that expires on the body the garment of flesh
And an immortal life starts afresh
Accounting for every deed done in the land of the
living
How we all carried out all our lives bidding
Every lies that was told
To every truth that was withhold
From our given abilities
To the way we best carry out our responsibilities
So ask yourself my friend
Where will you gonna end
On the side of the truth
Or those that will face his wrath
Is it going to be a jolly ride home
Or wishes and regrets in a tome
The choice is us to make
And the path is us to take

Stanley Oguh Poem
The june i know comes in
the middle of the year,
when there is no worries
and fear.
Full of so many excitement
and fun,
even when there is no
bright light from the sun.
A month full of expectation,
and natured by
determination.
Driven and directed by
one's outstanding visions,
even in the presence of so
many conspirations.
I know one's dreams are so
indispensable,
because these june
ambitions are
unquestionable.
Even if there is still some
doubt able swoon,
i know we will make it to
the top soon.

Stanley Oguh Poem
We are down on a sandy beach
And our legs dug deep in the sand of pain
Left stranded in the sea of sadness
The night of destruction falling on us with extreme darkness
Hovering on us the venom of evil
With rain drops of blood on our land
The storm getting heavier by the day
The flame of hope blown away by wind of wickedness
We live in a country where no one is safe
Where death darken the sky like an imminent doom
Where the majority live in ardent poverty
A land where corruption is at its peak
Our leaders the master chef to all our miseries
With eyes of blind spot to the need of the people
Deaf ears to the cry of the innocent
Blind eyes to the sufferings of the poor
The beat of political madness stirs in the air
With sound wave of pain to all the citizen of the land
Human lives valued only for a couple of coins and a few naira note
Innocent blood shed all in the name of political game
The taste of power and excessive desire for wealth
Sum with their selfish and political greed
Puts our dear nation in a state of unrest
Children of innocent souls being tortured through burning knife of evil
Leaving the youths to live their lives in fear
Our girls are no longer safe to go to school
Terrorism the bad sweet smell polluting our atmosphere
With it effect on us an horrible scar
People being nurtured to the highest point of hatred
With every of their road leading to violence and terrorism
Little by little we are losing our national pride
Our economy dropping faster than the speed of sound
Our leaders failing in every good sense of leadership
With the interest of the people far from their mind
From the cry of the rejected and abused children
To the tears of the suffering and confused adult
Same questions comes to the mind of every nigerian
Why do we have to suffer this much?
Are our leaders so blind to see that the nation is on a downhill of destruction?
How long will it take for them to hear our cry?
And what will it take for everything to change for good?
I guess only God has the answers to all this questions
And the golden key to our freedom
All will have to do is to keep praying
And keep hold of our little flame of hope
Cos one day I believe everything will change for good
