Lost

I saw it coming
As fierce as expected 
Like strings of strong spears
piercing and garbing hearts
All tremble at this horror
All but them

Indeed an ordeal
An incarnation of evil
Blood the avatar was
The redness and horror of blood
Sharp pains and sudden dizziness
profuse bleeding at pores with 
dissolution

Where are the fragment of our 
future?
Our eyes all drenched in red water
As trumpet of cries from the 
parrots
And wails from other birds
Rises from different pitches
All have been broken and shattered
We all wait after it all to gather
Our emaciated bones together,our 
remnants.

We've lost all in this rift
Returning is difficult
And going forward is almost 
impossible
We've lost all execept this 
thatched fence that left this 
memory to us all
A memory in our hearts like a track
That the train of anguish will 
forever ride..

My Song To Nigeria

I will tell u a story
My love,
A story of ur beauty to tell
The beauty of ur natural skin to
spell
I will tell u a story
For each strand of ur hairs
Shy green hairs in harmattan's
whirling wind
Those hairs that beautify your 
black
skin
I will tell you a story
Of praise to each colour on your
blouse
That green which connotes fertility
And the white which depicts your
purity
I would love to tell u dis 
story,not
on a moonless night but on a day
like dis,
But I can't cause tears still blur
my vision
These same tears has eclipsed my
mission
I will tell you a story
An apology for my past promises
At your younger years
Those years u toiled nd toiled with
no father
I will tell you dis story
When my tear-blurred eyes are clear
again
I will tell u dis story like an
opera
I will sing to you my son,my
LOVE,'NIGERIA'

Punctured Love

Had 
we 
but 
word 
enough 
and 
time
This 
coyness 
my 
lady 
were 
no 
crime
When 
she 
rows 
her 
boat 
down 
my 
heart
Leaving 
a 
track 
in my 
shattered 
soul
A 
track 
that 
left 
us 
across 
d road
I 
have 
been 
shot 
by 
her 
arrows
Now I 
bleed 
red 
milk 
of 
grief
Sharp 
pains 
and 
profuse 
bleeding 
at d 
pores 
with 
dissolution
An 
incarnation 
of 
infatuation
Thwarting 
and 
scratching 
d 
skin 
of my 
patience
I 
pray 
thee 
dat 
if we 
meet 
again
May 
it 
not 
be on 
a day 
like 
this
May 
we 
meet 
instead 
at 
night
When 
d 
moon 
has 
failed
That 
when 
I 
peer 
at 
thine 
eyes
I 
might 
see 
the 
Love 
dat 
tore 
my 
Love 
for 
you..

Valley of Remembrance

Rooted in this valley
We watched the sun fold her 
petals
one by one into the navel of 
the sky
Betraying us into an ambush of 
shadows
Frightened we tremble as the 
wind weeps through the trees 
like a blind man's wife looked 
outside on a rainy night
Time wound our heels
Time heals our wound
If we shall ever meet again,may 
it not be on a moonless 
night,that we not peer like 
strangers into each other's face
May we meet instead under the 
old crescent and transparent 
smiles of the moon
That we may bend slightly 
amidst silent smiles and 
knowing nods in recognition of 
the wrinkles of suffering and 
dimples of smiles on each 
other's face..

The Sojourner

The land wreathes in rhythm;
And caressed with cruel history and rough tenderness,
Scratching the skin of my patience.
Absorbed with the shock,
I'm suspicious of this happiness
Like I've been.
The dearth of space
And the eloquent but emptiness of time,
Betrays me to presently squash and squander my solitude
I recognize this place,
This wilderness men call life
I've been here once,
Maybe more and more
Corollary to the indelible pregnancy
Of this thorns
And the profuse smiles in my wrinkles
Swam the Mediterranean
And climbed the Everest
But the pastures have all been eaten by termites.
Can't climb Kilimanjaro again;
Not because it's low,
But because it's home.
Now the sojourner is back
With more debt
Clinging to the breast of silence
And succouring in the navel of sighs without relief.

Don'T Bid It Wait

When duty comes
Knocking at your door,
Don't bid it wait.
Cause if you do
He'll go
Only to return
Bringing with it
Ten more duties 
Banging at your door.
