Love Is Never Enough

They say my love can be bought,                                                                                                                                                                                                 so I went down memory lane to buy them a thought,                                                                                                                          I followed my heart wishing  I’d  never  be hurt                                                                                                                                                                             but there he is with another in lust.

Golgotha In Sinai

Listen, I speak of the odyssey of Sinai,                                                                                                                                     I speak of the mystery of the mountain undefined.                                                                                                              Our Golgotha of salvation. I speak of the cross.                                                                                                     what a privilege  it is for the carver, he built the cross befitting his sins.                  
Listen-Again ,                                                                                                                                                                         I speak of the odyssey of Sinai,                                                                                                                                                                       the mystery in the controversy of his persecution.                                                                                                                          He made no refute, he sought no refuge, he did not deny yet he was denied.                                                                  The kiss and the cock at 3.                                                                                                                                                    They thrust the lance, the water from his side brought healing ,                                                                                                       it is in giving that we are forgiven, the mystery of Sinai revealed.                                                                                       
Again I say Listen,                                                                                                                                                                            his cloths  were thorn and cast for lot,                                                                                                                        the cloths  in the high place tore to door mot.                                                                                                                                 you see, he’s the gateway of truth and pathway of salvation.                                                                                    Sinai’s odyssey. The earth stood still.Death obeys.

A Coy In Love

THE COY!
She wanted him so bad, but he gave her a knock off so hard,                                                                                                                                                                      to the worlds extreme corner where all the atrocious are found.                                                                                                              She saw the boy who stole his hat and coin at the spin wheel that night.                                                                                                                                    And so she said, remember me from the county lounge.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      I am the coy whose heart the hat you wear belong.                                                                                                                                  Name your prize and get this done,                                                                                                                                                                 steal back my heart from the man at the county lounge.                                                                                                                               I am a coy, I cannot be in love.
THE BOY!
 i'd make him crawl to your ample 
but for a price only you can pay, a taste of your coyness shall i take.
 i'd have you for breakfast,i'd have you as brunch,have you for lunch and then desert.
but for dinner i'd have me a guest,the boy down the street has your craving too. 
A bite for grandpa jones shall i leave,heal his parkinson with your sweetness.
 And have your heart safely to your nest.

I'Not Mad

Do not turn me to a ranting woman cos I know I don't nag, 
do not call me  Mad ,I know I don't wear rag. 
Pls do not tear me apart,I'm all I've got till u showed up,
and how do I know u are mine when u never own up. 

My beauty is fading,friends are asking when is my wedding,
you tell me to keep waiting till you've made some more penny to fend for the world.  

Mr man,my time is ticking so I'm moving out of the house we share,
out of your life so dear,the next thing you'll hear is that I'm married to an ex.

Thetypicallagosgirl Series

This week has been so fair to me with fares. i get lifts and other times get my bus fare paid by strangers without asking, this is unusual as it has been occurring consistently for 4 days now.Today,i took a bus from Oshodi to Ikeja with my boyfriend who sat right in front on the first row of the bus seats.he wouldn't say anything to me as we had just gone through an argument  before entering the bus about a guy who had earlier paid my bus fare from Gbagada to Oshodi. without knowing it,a guy by the drivers seat paid my fare and another guy offered to pay my fare too but the conductor revealed that the guy by the driver's seat already paid. 'Bae the boyfriend' became furious as he paid for himself and we alighted but not without saying thank you to the kind guy with a smile, 'Bae the boyfriend' filled with more fury crossed over to the opposite direction, picked a bus back to where we came from and sent me a text that read ''go alone to the cinema and make sure you get your fare paid by more men and a free movie ticket too'' quickly touching my pocket, i realized i had no money as his bus sped off.  will i be lucky to get my fare paid for this time? somebody help,the night is crawling in and my feet hurts from standing 2 hours already.

Love In Discord

Out of this heartbeat is an empty chord, 
A melody chanting in discord 
Screaming for love in hell hole to the devil with a Halo.
This rhythm of love could only be sung once
But this fury tune of heartbreak is on repeat.

He Loved Me First

Before my birth, you called me beloved.
You chose me before I got the chance to gaze at your face, with so much at stake, you left the ninety-nine, all of them, for me, the one. 

And now that I have given my heart to this love affair, they say I'm crazy but what they don't know is that it was you who fell madly in love with me first long before the earth.

Right now, as we dance hand in hand in the rain, my soul longs to dance with you in your paradise.
