A Fool In Love

A Fool in Love

We could have been in love sometimes somehow
With the person we least expected
That feeling is always wild
That it could last you for a lifetime
True love is scares and hard to find
In the midst of our daily hustles and buzzle
We get caught in the irony of who is truly who

Wait a minute what's your definition of love?
Fill the blank space in your thought
Whatever comes is actually a cool response
Now here is the gist
A fool in love is fool at lost
They don't see the signs speaking in a still voice
Its speaking out loud that they cant hear
The wool is from their inner ear
They are carried away by the feeling in response to their emotions
Can your emotions be compare to your instincts?
Don't tell me you still don't understand
Have you forgotten when you were insulted?
Even a physical assault back then
Mutual respect was lost in the air
Understanding was no where to be found
The vision was blur that you needed a sun glass
You couldn't see above your nose
Danger was calling but you were far behind
Far behind that you needed to be yelled at
Danger was tired that he left unnoticed
How could you have forgotten so soon
You even had a dream that was opposite to your feelings
Yet you ignored and kept moving
Like a child who desperate for a breast milk
There's even a time a child pauses from taking breast milk
It will soon be reality .com
You have confused true love to your emotions.
Carried away by your sensations.
That you never read meaning to the signs aforementioned 
Sheybe you see what it has caused you.
Its not time to regret
But try never to forget
What you have learnt in the process
You can now take a u-turn
From wherever you are not minding your destination and how far you have gone.
Realise you have wasted your hard earned time and move on
You are a fool in love when you are carried away by your feelings, emotions and not what love truly stands for
If you have been a victim 
Brace up.

She Is Pregnant

She is pregnant.

Feeling a baby grow inside of her was the most magical time of her life
wondering what he or she will be like, knowing that one day  she would hold them in her hands is one of the greatest Joy a woman can ever experience.
Love, anticipation, anxiety … you’re just a melting pot of emotions right now.
She whispered to her husband, I will be a mother soon
The expression on her face shows she can't wait to love, care, pamper, tender, nurture and inspire the foetus in her uterus.
Everybody knows am pregnant even if they can't see, I only can feel it
I am pregnant with ideas
I am pregnant with purpose
I am pregnant with burning dreams
I am pregnant with great aspiration
I am pregnant to fulfill a divine mandate
I am pregnant to influence lives
I am pregnant to meet a need
I am pregnant for a better tomorrow
I am pregnant to feed the nations
I am pregnant to affect my generation
I am pregnant to live for you
I am pregnant to wipe tears
I am pregnant to inspire you
                       BUT
I can't denied along side am pregnant with fears, my limitation, frustration, intimidation that can perpetually abort what's inside of me
I kept asking the WHY, WHEN and HOW will all my longings come to manifest

Then I heared in a still Voice
 Trust in me with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all my ways am only permitted to acknowledge him and he shall direct my path

I heared again the vision is yet for an appointed time though it tarry it will surely come to pass

That gave me courage, determination and enthusiasms to press and never to give up
I know and i surely believe i can't die with my purpose living inside of me if I do then the world is at end.
Now that am still here, its either now or never.

Don't quit on your dreams you are closer to it today than you were yesterday.

Tomorrow Is Dead

Tomorrow is dead

We all go to bed at night
Hoping the alarm hits a wake up call
Or the cock crows as the day dawns
 We bid our love ones goodnight
And they reply with a charming smile
If you are like me you won't miss your night meditation
Or you probably want to have an evaluation of how the day went
Plan for the next day's event
Too tired to do all that
The sleep is heavy in your eyes
That you couldn't even have your bath
You had a stressful day at work
So hectic that you almost passed out
Good you have a source of livelihood
Atleast you are not a nuisance in the neighbourhood
Tomorrow never came!
Tomorrow never came!
Hope its not a game of chess
Yesterday is gone
Today is here
The thunder grumbled
The flower nodded
The snow flakes danced
When will it be tomorrow?
Its a matter of time
Will I sleep and never wake up?
Am I promised tomorrow?
No never, why? Not me , I don't like this
My kids, my job, my loved ones, my everything
But wait a minute what if tomorrow doesn't come?
Never will anyone pray not to see a new day
The brightness and light of a new dawn
But what if tommorow dies?
Those that are gone never bargained for a return
They left with tears in the eyes of thier love ones
Not in a bit to instill fear in you, but to consciously remind you that tomorrow could be dead.
Live right
Have a good heart

LIVE TODAY AS THOUGH IT'S THE LAST DAY AND LAST BREATH YOU WOULD EVER HAVE.

On My Sick Bed

On my sick bed

On the hospital bed I lay helplessly
Breath was almost far from me
I wished death could come be the judge
And take me on a journey of no return
Diagnose with no symptom all at
No traceable cause for my predicament
Between life and death I stood tall
Not knowing what will become of me
The pills were high
The bed was nice
But my condition was out of hand
I had always watch been sick in the movie
It' was a fairy tale or maybe I say an adventure
But now am faced with two options
Bid my loves one goodbye or stand face to face with death
I droped out of school for months
Its obvious am missing each day
My dreams were become Delusions
Would I give up or put my faith to work?
I had few more days to live
I was 7 years and its few days to my birthday
I was certain of the Holiday and I could remember it fell on Sunday
Every day is a great day I always believe
If I survive today then it certain I have escaped
Groaning in pains
My cloth were socked with it stain
Still in the midst of my though then i heared a still Voice whisper to me
If only you had faith like mustard seed
You would tell this mountain be ye moved.
I summoned courage and declared by faith
The outcome is why you are reading this piece.
Am back on my feet
Sitting on the cushion seat
Soliloquizing how I would have given up if not for Faith

Faith does the magic, confess it, believe it and you will have it.

Gods Love

Its never to early to be in love
Says mother beloved
Quote me wrong if am right
From Sunshine to sunrise
A Mellow below my pillow
A Medley of endearment
I have told you a hundred times
The best thing ever to happen to me is love
Not a type I feel
But the one I can't see
Its inexhaustible as the sea
Full of so much Mercy
Even when in the midst of the red sea
Its you alone I see
Mothers love can become greasy
Father's love can turn freezy
Lovers love can be without merci
Relatives love can turn clumsy
But this love i speak is new every morning
I wish I have words to express my Heartbeat
Its beating per seconds billing
I will go bankrupt in a means to pay it
So i dispense of his mercies
I enjoy his bountiful blessing
It's all mine so I can flex it
Flaunt it and spend it
If you haven't taste it
You are missing a big thing
I don't worth it
Neither do I merit it
Its just his nature that can't be questionable.
Thanks be to him who loads us with our daily benefit
GODS LOVE IS  NOT MESSY  bUT VAST IN MERCIES.

We Need Help

Rain drops from my eye
Tears flow from the sky
But why then do I cry?


 for the afflicted and hungry
Those who strive to have one slice of bread for a bite
Those who sleep under the bridge at night
Who is dying of cold as I write.
Whose hope is reduce to a
 kilobyte
And Is deprived of their very right.

Who will save them?
When will they see the light?
Can you feel their pain and be get it right
Is life all about what we can have?
maybe you ask from your self
Oh My flight, oh my delight.

Lover of Weed

Lover of weed

Hey lover of weed take heed
So its true your life now revolves around it
That you are now even  an addict
Addicted to the point of snuffing it
Its now all you see and thinks
Your mind can't just get off it
Day and night you keep having
As though it can be compare to the air you breath
You are a beast when you have not had it
Like a dog whose sex urge is demanding
You are restless and careless
Confused and perplexed
Your last dime can be used to purchase it
You don't mind the cost and stress of getting it
Going about with it like handkerchief
You can't even wait to be in one corner
Of a truth God created the leaves and the tree
But wait a min also for this purpose?
I understand the feeling after you have just had a feel of it
Your hormones are high @ 101 degree Celsius
Your brain is already getting used to it over time
That even failing to give it a try could be kinda detrimental
Its fun to you I think?
And you living life from your own perspective
As a guy is that what makes you a man?
lighter in your hand and a rap in your pocket
You are good to go like he who is about to start a journey
Your friends come around and they call you and the fun begins
What a waste of time sorry if I sounded insultive.
I know am not worth telling you to stop taking it
Just give me a minute before you attack me
Hear what I have to say about it
Back to why you should stop  taking it
Has your life gotten better ever since you it became your lover?
Are you always proud of yourself?
Can your parents attest that it the real you?
Can the society accept you?
I thought you had a conscience?
That should preak you when you going beyond your limit
If you have a positive response then feel free to take more of it.
I know at this point you wanna stop it
But it so difficult CU's you dont know how to snub it
Pls help this guy if you have idea on how to stop it

To be continued.

I Hate Love

I hate love.

Love is not just a feelings that gets you high.
on seeing your partner at the twinkling of an eye
Its a  deep response that make a hot fire become cold as ice
Even if you  see danger coming nigh
You still want to give it a try
When in both arms you wish the light never goes out
That's the true reflection of the nature deposited in us by the most high.
I have heared different versions of love
Some say it the happiest thing that could ever happen to me
Some say it takes seconds to be in love
Some say Just keep going love will find you
Some say i have got to find love
I anticipated the wild feelings of love
It seems like it will be  heaven on earth or Even as the day I was born
I wanted to play the game of Love
And get it returns
With high tenacity I anticipated
Now I have delved into it
It entirely different from what I heared and assume it to be
I never knew I would be patience most of the time
I  never knew i would apologised often times
I never knew little things count
I never knew it would cost me more than  expected.
I never knew I would be wrong for doing what's Right
I wanted to be loved loved and loved
I was sure it wasn't lust but love
I interpreted and understood my feelings right
It took me ample time before I could give me
I wanted to be loved, fall in love and remain in love
But the reverse is the case
Little did i understood that healthy love was commitment based on understanding, mutual respect,Communication and ideal sacrifice
The love I hate  were  those I read in books,Watched in the movie,Read In novels , told in stories.
They will never be real as such I experienced
Understanding love is to experience it first hand
No source for love. LOVE IS experience

Val Or No Val

Lonely on a cross road
In search of love from within
Believing I find what's not lost
With hope that some day I will find
Two by two I see all walk past me
Red flowers with a smiling face
Busy enjoying a day like this
With gift of love to shower  on one another
Cards of well wishes fills the mall
A toast of love with a chilled malt
On White cloves At the movie hall
Love fills the air
Light hug to keep you warm
A day off work they got it all
Am here alone thinking off this all
Wondering  if I get a miss call
Or a ping on my Facebook wall
Maybe a knock on my main door
Inviting me for a date  i will surely turn on
I don't mind paying the bills all
I will walk you through the back door
With hope that my wish come through
Val or no val every day counts
Show some act of love, care if you have no val like me
I would rather ask if you would be my val?????

Happy Valentine

Today is  special as every other day
Though its a  remarkable day to be reckoned with
That's not a myth it just an hint.
Blessed be the day I met you
Not a day is worth living without you.
Breath may cease but life continues
With you the journey is short
Let's pose to take a shot
Miss the target my temperature gets hot
The remedy may endue cost
But love is Worth the cost
Your cheek are comely with rose of jewel, with chains of gold around her neck
A bundle of myrrh is your love to me
I will make thee border of gold with stud of silver
I don't need  light to see things right
Your illumination enables sight
Let the savour of your ointment pour on me
A cluster of stars appears in my heart
Emerald of precious stone
compared to the air I breathe
Never a regret I met you
My beloved is mine, am hers,
We will continue on the same path
Walking beside me by the river side
Casting our net to the other side.
 I love you with the love of Christ
Its more than  a special way to express my love

Happy Valentine's day .

Love affair.
