Two Bodies In the Mood

Lovers on a bed of leisure,
Caressing their depth with pleasure.
Hands up,mouths down,
Legs coil,in-love drown.

A Love's Dialogue

Unique: I need someone to hold me and tell
me it's alright.
I need someone to hold my hands and feel
my pain.
I need someone to kiss away my pain.
I need someone to look into my eyes and tell
me my faults.
I need someone to stay by my side not
minding the storm.
I need someone to stir my heart with love.
I need someone to hug and feel my dreams.
Josh: Can i be the one?
To stir your heart till you're in love drown?
Unique: No
Josh: She has broken my heart
Without club,without dart.
But with the tools of her hands,
Wits,skills,graced with strands.
And i think
Can i? My brain blink.
Unique: I didn't mean to break your heart
I only set the cart right.
Josh: Right you said?
When my soul you misled
How can that be?
A bile in cooked meat
What taste does it gives?
Battered soul singing hymns.
Joyful joyful she meant.
But here,odd it lent.
Unique: Bile,it gives bitterness.
But what does it have to do with the
goodness,
Your heart crave
In the love's cave?
Josh: What meant thou?
That i use another man's plough?
Or that my choice
Is tossed by another man's force.
Unique: Surely you should know
In the wrong place thee sow.
Josh: Com'on life will tell little
About the wailing beetle.
Unique: Really!!!
Is life that silly.
Josh: Do i really know
Or don't i innocent show?
That one heart belong to one?
And when one's one,then whose one?
Life often mimick
All celestial lyrics
Thus does life give a crown,
To the 'street dancer' or the clown.
But away with these,
And let's on the matter our mouth fixed.
Unique: Innocent my foot!!
I can even tell when thou art mute.
Josh: Tell me of man's heart
That you've shattered,on or unknown with
dart.
Unique: If truly it was shattered
Does that really matter?
He should pick up the piece
And leave in peace.
Josh: Ho,by heaven will you believe,
And for seconds be relieved?
That a truth often is a truth
Be it hail from any root.
And How could a piece make peace,
When piece pissed all peace piece?
Unique: Even from the lifeless root?
Deep down the earth's tooth?
Josh: Lifeless you say?
Oh that i pray,
Atleast may I be lifeless,
Till the right word hail from your duplex.
Unique: When will that be?
Where will that be?
Josh: When ho i think
Maybe when you feel.
A word hails from a source,
When there is enough in its purse.
Unique: When the source is dry,
Will it then cry?
Josh: A river flows yet in pride
As its water take her on ride.
Let your sweetening words take me on ride,
And then i'll fly.
Unique: My words have no wing,
Let that ring.
Josh: Oh! Let the rain fall
And the source the tall
That a drop may drip
As she take me on love's trip.
Of they do
By natures rule.
For if they don't,
How will it reach you: sont?
Unique: Now i get it
But can you sit?
To wait for my soothing word
To take thee to the strange world.
Where love do not stay
Nor would you have a say.
Josh: Of course i can
If that be the maiden's plan.
Anywhere you go will I,
In dale,valley or shy.
Oft you're there,i'll be there.
Even if love cease,let be there the pair.
Even if thy shadow i see,
That's enough a meal,
I'll feast on it,
Till i'm by you filled.
Unique: There shall we be...
But how will we see?
Josh: By thy shadow:
It alone will i follow.
Worry not how we'll see,
Let first embark on the trip.
Are you ready to go?
I'll get luggages,off we'll go.
Unique: Will my word be long,
To take thee along?
Josh: Let it be in Jupiter,
Just be my bearer.
Unique: Isn't it better you sit,
For thy rib on love's seat?
Josh: What good does it does,
When you are not there,you of course?
If thee take no delight in me
I'll prefer death be my meal.
Unique: How will I? How can I?
Give my heart to thee in lie?
Josh: And how can I?
Continue living in Strife?
Unique: Strife will end
If thou could send.
My heart belongs to him,
Only to him.
Josh: And mine to you,
Only to you.
Will he take it in full,
Like i do?
Solve the puzzle:
Love's lane often tumbles.
Unique: He will!
If I can prepare my hearts meal.
Josh: I've gotten all i need.
Thanks spoon,for the meal.
Unique: I have no spare spoon for thee,
For he owns the key.
Josh: A meal,that's to you, a meal.
But may be to him a mill.
A munch of words in my mouth,
Bid me 'go to north and south',
I'll tell but few riddles,
Riddle of two seperate minds clinging like
beetles.
Hahaha.
Fear not,you own the star.
But regard choice.
For that can give it sauce.
If his choice choose
Who can untie and loose?
Poetry teach my many,
And to her i'm married.
Not one maiden shakes me,
But my dear and darling poetry.
All i did are but fun,
Thereabout,Series of pun.
But be diligent,
Sow your grain with diligence.
Josh had his say,
Good turn rolls at you,I pray.
Unique: The say which i shall keep i bay,
For the coming day.
When i shall have a say,
To tour the love's way.
Josh: But If I be serious,
Don't you think,I have so many a way like
millions?
To get a maiden's heart
And mend it to mine art?
But let that be a tale
That a man can get his mail.
Unique: When my pen shall bleed my muse
Will you then refuse?
Josh: Wait till words beckon to you.
Then,you have such rule.
Unique: Then will i explore your way,
I'll let you know you have no say.
Josh: If my wits bids me,
Who can make me retreat?
And if by spirit i'm tossed,
Tell me if you won't dose.
Unique: I can tie thee to a seat,
With my word's feet.
Josh: Caught by my spell,
Only heaven can you tell,
Seat of no feet,
That can't hold a teeth.
That's if by name you can discern
Or you're by it rent.
And how will you feel,
If it be real,
That one of whom you care,
Is by heart and heart there?
Unique: The spell will i shell
And send to hell.
I'll make thy words tie thee,
And my words tame thee.
Don't you think it's high time,
We considered out clime
And make our word be done.
And let our soul be gone?
Josh: To distant maiden
That would have you laden.
That,if you can
For with me is variant plans.
If that's by you right,
For i'll write day and night.
But if thee be tired,
And by sleep you're hired.
Be to sleep in fun,
Go swiftly and be gone!
Unique: I wiil then say Good night,
And safe journey in thy flight.
Josh: (Will i indeed fly,
Or tread on
sky?).
And I Aureviour,
As thy man's wits sloped into my diar'.
Myself and he will be in your dream,
Prepare to see a great movie.

The Proud

Exceeding in pride,
obstinate in decision-
she moves on;she's time.

Lost In His Love 'A Rap Song'

Once upon a time, I used to live, 
In pain, tears and misery. 
Dining and wining in sin:
Growing fatter on what kills. 
I thought I was sane, like twas real, 
But I was kidding: I was death's prey. 
Then it came, on an innocent dawn:
Who's to come to make me his son. 
Thought at first, twas a lion's den. 
Then just next, he is the lion in the den. 
He gave me all I could scarce think of, 
Now tell me, how crazy you won't love such. 

I love him from the breath of the hay:
When it heave a sigh, crafting bredth of the day. 
Like the clouds and sky, in love sway, 
Such that none could part their ways. 
Such is my love : growing all day, 
Come winter and summer, I love Jesus all the way.

Come all Who're lost in the fares of life:
Enclosed in the labyrinth of the intricacy of strife. 
Jesus will not only show you the way to life,
He'll also, teach you how to survive. 

I love Jesus, Love you Jesus, 
Love you more than I can think of.

Solace

Thorns of liberty,
Street of massive enmity.
Pinnacle of unseen threat,
Nausal,chronic and offensive  pets.
Path to menace
Solace!

Cat feed on cat; happy hour.
Wealth varies to poverty tower.
Deflowered road,heightened corruption,depression,
Economic degradation,death,sheol,recession.
Inhuman,omission,partisan jingoism,
Imperialism,racism,colonialism and all 'ism',
Insanity,antisemitism,lethargy,
Symphonic,alienation,kinky absurdity,
Neo colonialism,post colonialism,Africanism,
Beggy beggy-lism,olosho-lism,maxism,
Indiscipline,indecision,invasion in our axis;
Gives us solace!; Oh our solace!

We,The Beggars

We have come to you
Like the sun to the cloud does
Anything you can afford
Please,do,spare us.
We've been under this bridge
even the ants gossips us
Because we share the same meal.
We have come to you
President soldier,Pastor Navy
Money,nuts,fruit-
we'll appreciate!
We have come to you
For the course of that thing
that 'use to let you have money'
We're also hungry for money
and the only delicacies
We're ready to consume
Is that thing 'that use to let you have
money'.
We have come to you
Mr Evans,Reverend Oyenusi*
'That thing that use to give you money'
That long sugarcane
that has tyre
That thing ' that use to do "Pa! Pa!"
Liek when the nuts
Has clash with the stone
We heard that, that thing
'Used to make people afraid'
and 'use to give you people money'
Teach us how to use that thing
At least, 'we too want to have money- ego-'
We have come to you
Alhaji M.K.O-
'Shebi,they tell us that you use to say that
You have seven ile* and
Fleets of cars'
We only know that you
'Use to speak to people'
But later after you 'speak'
Money - plenty money
'Use to come in to your pocket'
Maybe your talk
'Use to sweet well well'
Come and teach us
How to speak 'sweet talk'
So that we'll also have money
And after that
we will not disturb you again.
'Sorry Sir!'
Somebody use to say that
You use to do one-thing -
Red-tomatoes and long cain
that you use to tie it together
And later in the night
You'll put it on your tongue
So that anything you say
Will put hand into their
pocket,and take money.
'Is that true?'
Though,we're less concerned
'Sir!',just teach us how to talk 'sweet talk'
We have come to you,
Bishop propher,Esther Jezebel
We crave for wealth
At least,the essence of our health.
3' o clock we're up
Buzzing mosquitoes praying
In our ears -
'It's time for morning devotion'
they'll always say
Then we'll wake up
And join them in prayers.
We're tired of this life -
we mean,this kind of life.
'cos even if the ground bite us
we will never sign up into death's account.
We just need your help
anything at all can help.
Dried fish,coconout's back,
Any garri,kakarugba* nuts,
Dunlop,sac bata' or anything
That our legs is protected
from devotional agents.
We have come to you
too, 'Beggy-beggy'-
that's what they 'use
to call us'
- Beggy-beggy,olofun
tolotolo -
We have come to you
too,for your blessings
not for moneys but earnings
Your saliva are better
to us than oceans of river.
For oceans quenches thirst for a while
but yours lasts for a second.
We have come to you
too,to bid you courage
Go get courage beyond
this promiscous orb
Two legs,two eyes,two ears
One head, five nails, five toes
But half-brain
quarter sense
three-quarter skillfulness
Zero thoughtfulness.
We have come to you
too,to change-
APC change!!!-
God has given you
what you can use
legs,eyes,ears; transfused!
Get all your beigns
into existence
Get all your things,skills
not enforcement
we have come to you
too,because
you're not created
to dress the roads -
the tattered express.
You're made to be
like him,yea,him;-
Bishop prophet and coe.
We have come to you
too,because of indifference.
'Na so dem dey do am
Oya na so i go do am'.
Change your mindset
to change your world
A fixated mindset,
Is a fixated world.
We have come to you
too, 'Allah bah mu sa'
That's the song they
sing to you everyday.
Some have even
made you enemy
like the daffodils to the sun.
They don't want to see
you,because you're the same.
They said you stink
They said you're rude
Even some calls you fool
Wake up!; 'Allah bah mu sa'
You can go beyond this;even far
But their are two
things to this
one,you'll have a rule
two,you'll the rule fix
Make sure the rule is long
Tighten it,and make it strong.
After that,place the rule
Before you
Then walk on it
Throughout the streets.
Once in a while you may fall
But instead retreating be in courage tall
Sooner or later
You'll have beholders
Sooner or later
they'll bring to you a ladder
that you'll climb to places that are higher.
Bur after the deed
is almost done
Make sure you
Put God first.
You're more than this
You're not where
you are supposed to be.
Wake up,it's dawn
Don't be in fear drown
Open your glottis,sing a song
A ballad,lullaby; just for fun
Then people will come
But if you close those lips
No noe will open it for you
'Allah bah mu sa',better speak
now or later
it may be late.
You've heard my sermon
now; do you need an interpreter?
Then i think the matter is high
As it is when the sky is about to cry.
If you do need
an interpreter or so
I think it'll be spiritual
help or so.
Den,that's beyond my
Dos,don'ts and abilities
But their is an option-
JESUS CHRIST
JESUS CHRIST
The only option
Option?
No,the best path
you can thread on
The path full of thorns
Thorns that'll pierce out
sorrow lodging in your life
He nd d the Holy Spirit will do that
But the spirit
Will come only
Thru the path.
Say; 'I accept Jesus as Lord
Save me.
Then the interpreter will come
And will make you the rope,ladder,till you
rise.

Tis Rap

Intro: ×4

I've got something in my head
  (In my head) 

Rap:

feeling you're winning is a feeling you're losing
and winning is the feeling losing is missing
taking undertaking is the bidding and trailing
we're making and grooming, processing our motive
feeling you're living is a feeling you're dieing
and dieing is the feeling living is pruning
wailing and crying are products of our making
feeling what I'm saying?

Black lives matter? 
You're white, black, purple, indigo, violet or
racism monger
trained by wiles, shame pain or poverty, you should see
much better
what defines man: tribe, clan, languages or what such
can offer
in your world, home, town, places of worship
or cafeteria!

Here's myopia: Folly's godfather
what were you thinking, that you're better?
you've got oxygen, and he's got fire?
you feel blood surging, but he feels nada?
cos you're stupid, and have gone brainless
that when you 'em, you become restless
insecurity then becomes your crest
hunger to kill 'em then becomes your bread

     Y'all are supposed to be all these:

indestructible, inevitable, indivisible, indescribable, indefinable,
inexpressible, imperishable, indissoluble, inevasible, incorruptible
  (not)
unapproachable, unappealable, unappeasable, inaccessible, impracticable,
insurmountable, unavailable, unobtainable, inexorable, indomitable
      (Out-of-the-way)

Oh My Love Is Gone

With her in my sight,
Her breast did i long to clasp.
Then,did her display elate me,
But now she'd wroth a story.
The radiance of her eyes,
Toss me around like a dice.
And when she push out her lips,
In enjambment did my hand give them tips.
Then,her gown swept away locality,
But none can again fit her charity.
Her beauteous beauty and it sorts,
Is now away from me: virus bought.
Oh,how i wish i can again clasp your breast?
And again peacefully on my pillow with you have a rest.

Paddi Paddi

Na im one day i carry my car commot for
house,
As i dey go na im i see one man dey shout.
'Stop there,stop there',he dey tell me,
Wetin concern me; i don go!

For morning,na only one man,
But now,you go think sey they import them.

You go think sey na boko enter.

You know how you dey pray for money na,
Na so the man dey shine face for me.
For my mind,'Allahu','Oh God',na

Before i no am,the man don shadow me,
With kumo* before my glass.

Salveja

I
I live in a society,
That does not know me.
I live in a community,
That does not owe me.
I feel a stranger,
In my renowned hometown.
And act a savage,
In my parent's town.
Who knows me???
Than my very self?
Who feeds me??
Than my blood nest?
When they lift core up,
I ignorantly pull it down.
When they smile to fill the cup.
I expose their veiled frown.
They tell me: 'Go to hell',
Yea,they told me with their action spell.
I'm a snail without a backbone,
I'm a roaring lion without teeths.
They grant me out like a loan,
And care not how by them i'm treat.
**************************
II
*************************
Oh what a savage in his homeland?
Oh a gabbage in the bowland.
Who cares about my personality?,
Than those who adore my intuity.
They are my pride,
Yea,indeed my father,mother and brothers.
**************************
III
*************************
But this my vow,
That them all will to me bow:
They that regard me not,
But that crack me as a nut.
I'm going out of my land,
To places where i'll be given a stand.
Let me a hence there to be a Lord,
Enough of my savaging here: i'm bored.
************************
IV
*************************
Let others that empathize,
Fall into with me same tresspass.
Let us in unity,
Tell the fruit of disunity.
To hence to the dungeon of foolishness,
And bid us to bail them after their
relentlessness.
Oh mother!,behold your child.
Child!,behold your mother.
The heir is from you taken farther,
And will come not again till you all are mild.
