The Mistress I Never Had

Feelings I always express,
But the outcome she suppress, 
Lies I employed to impress, 
Her clichés put me in distress, 
Lamented for hours,tears raped my eyes, 
In all da agony, I still want her to be my mistress. 
Fasted but didn't pray, hoping she will comply. 
Mouths mocked that she is a temptress, 
Friends and foes, shouted and mumbled, 
My feelings feeling stronger, now it crumbled, 
A mistress, my misery, making me moody. 
Her heart my aim, her love my crown,
But her rejection, makes me wanna drown. 
If only she will tell me why, 
She wished I changed my name...

The Fall of a Great Empire

Oh! A mighty empire that was built 
Beneath thé shield of the sun,
Thé empire that glows of victory,
Home of great mortals that dined with glory.

Oh! The empire that marching of it warriors,
Makes the soul of it foes tremble,
Losing their confidence for war makes them humble,
For fighters flee,but war goes after thèm.

Oh! The proud mortals who confronts,
Souls of weak creatures in warfronts, 
Fought bravely to achieve their desires, 
But forgot the hints that desires also expires,

Oh!Then time came, when great warriors, 
Now aged warriors, only fight to defend their interior,
Survival their foremost goal, 
Property and properties burning into charcoal.
 
Oh! Their weakness now a book of roll in the mouth of many,
The forces of nature, now feeds on their walls,
The great empire now as dry as a bone,
In the memories of men, their dormination is gone,
Nothing is hidden under the shield of the sun.

My Pain, and Pains

With a Heart soaked in Pain,
I bowed and removed my Hat,
Tears, tickling my cheek,
Like Matilda i have dragged my Pain here.

An Encomium i have come to pay,
The Pain i tried to Masticate,
Like a rock, It was not edible.

But to You, The Mountain Melter,
Its non-verbal expression is legible,
'cause as The Omnipotence,and Omniana,
You dont need an interpreter.

Higgedly-piggedly i appear before Thee,
To seek Thy Fountain of Gratification,
Pleading You unleash Thy Spigot of Purification,
To shelter me, away from my Pain,and Pains.

A Wish

When my existence expires 
Lay me in the Sky, amid Sunsets, 
In the eye of a Storm, 
Or the warmth kiss of the Sun, 
For the ears to hear, 
That i was wrapped in the softness of the Cloud, 
To decay and be a progeny of them, 
Join in the running of their daily activities, 
Seeing lovely things and what New Jerusalem would look like, 
And assist in completing the building. 
But not in an oblong closed box, 
Carefully lowered, within conglomerates of stones called graveyard, 
Abandoned to decompose and be a progeny, 
Just to expand the lineage of Dust, 
Who only sits here to wait for that day,
When New Jerusalem will descend from Heaven, 
As a bride adorned for her husband.

A Dough Affection

To be in love with an African,
An unreasoning love, a Dough Affection
Holes all over My heart spilling love
The light in her eyes my Joy,
Her heart My heart's heart, 
A queen I could not forsake. 

An unreasoning love, a Dough affection, 
Your Dough,her priority
Her lame love walked to me, 
Reaching for My heart 
A love dressed in deceit,beneath her dress 
A love  in it planted a malign seed.

Holes all over My heart spilling pains,
Dawns her that I'm a maid to Dough 
A street urching, she called me, -(tout)
Though I knew,it was nothing new,
An unreasoning love,an affection of Dough, 
Abacha's food now My diet -(poison)
True love is not as common as it used to be.

Loneliness In Hades

On thy flaming floor wailing, 
No one to comfort thee, 
Friends and families are no more, 
All alone, it's not all right, 
Nobody, to tell thy excuses, 
No one, to guide thee right,
Thy tomorrow has ended,
Forgotten that it will cease, one day. 
Thy new Earth,thou will not witness
Thy sins, thy suffering..
