Carved to a delicacy beyond perfection
From a place past the Nile
The lasting beauty came
Sumptuous
Longing for a mouth full
Hoping for a hard bite
Bracing for heat
Sweat never dripped so slowly
Tender and tense
Muscles stretch amidst the motion
Forbidden, yet ever so tempting

A Sip
A price of beauty,
Enough to quench my thirst
An end to a circle of pain
Leaving behind a lie of goodbyes
Smiling for all
Yearning for just one
The price of beauty,
Enough to burn my soul
Only a sample
Maybe a twirl or a twist
Always feeling good
Going from the darkness in this world
To where a dying beauty lay
Where wary minds refuse to enter
The blessing of beauty
Enough to forget time
Back to Love
Fall,
Crash till you bruise your soul
Drown,
Plunge to the place you remember
A place you know too well
A place where you found no thread of hate
A time when all was not but lost
Dead to life
You only needed a touch, maybe a kiss
But,
The hour struck
The tale of the lost heart finally found its cure
Bless all that blessed you with love

Guided by the waves
Tamed by the past
The short season rings louder by the night
The drum never ever ceases to fade
Whistling away till all is but dry
The queen of the night knows it all
Hesitate or persist
The bite will remain
Row and swing
The wave will eventually bring face
Then, who will carry your weight as you float down the gutter of gold and silver?
Serenity, hear me, hear us
As we choose not escape from the raindrops of deceit
A Journey to the End
Brought forth from a dream
A million born
To reality
Where the pocket of the greed ever so swells
Looking for redemption
Not bags of gold
Rewarded with set standards
Peace taken
Green lashed at their faces
For long, too soon
A misnamed tale of romance
Queue up
Till time brings back that first line
Live on, live well
Good Ones
Right there
Much like that
So enticing
Change is not needed
Just flow like always
Slow, slow
Right there
Keep calling
Till you reach me
A place where we can forget
Only till forever shall we remain
So, for now
Just keep it slow
No Agreement
Finally, they all wanted to taste that bad magic
Sprinkled with some western dew
A formula for the envy
Hunger gave birth to a beast
A smoke screen of empty lies
You willingly throw pain at us
Yet, you refuse to answer to your own name
Gone Naija Gone
I once saw the eagle
High above
Swimming in a stream of pride
A clear path to home
“Tell me why you missed the door?” the eagle asked..
“The green forest rests just ahead.”
A Sahara Dream
Tell me what you want
If my soul lets me, I will bring back life to you
Your eyes speak of an empty love
You cry and no one hears
That empty vase once brought me water
Now I’m healed
I can clearly hear your pain
I am here
I will quench your thirst
In Flesh and Vain
To be honest in my wisdom
To be bold in my strength
So give me that key you hide beneath that withered smile
Time is no mystery, just an answer we refuse to listen to
Crown of Love
Hear me, hear this
Far and wide
Search for me
Two for one
One against all
No love will come
Until time aligns for us
After all,
Time waits for no one
So when you find me
Hold onto me, for your dare life
And when all is said and done
Hope you take away my fears
SIMPLE WORLD
