23/M/Lagos Nigeria simply DISTINGUISHED
unending sounds from distant shores lonely soul trapped in an island screaming to unseen imaginations hoping for a savior to come time running fast like waterfalls these dried woods will i make my boat sailing to the shores so far from sight self believe is all i can offer myself

REACHING OUT
I have been trapped in my own mind A prisoner to my own slave Fighting monsters that seems to know my weakness Bound by the chains that i invented Tormented by voices that sounds like mine I have become restless like the ant that never sleeps Crickets have invaded my peace of mind Pawns now in control of my royal empire Demons seems to have defeated the angels in charge My diamond crown has been exchanged for pebbles I heard voices as quiet as the river Telling me to learn to see as the eagle sees For it knows that i have gone through seasons in hell That my lips have been kissed by the devil And i am struggling to wipe out his DNA i try to become deaf to roars from darkness In different scenes i imagined my own death Then i push the limits of my energy Trying to find light in the darkness of the underworld How long will i be a like a sleeping giant ? How long will i be out chasing shadows? How long will i be entangled in my dreams? How long will i be slipping through shadows? I am like a king with a thousand chariots I need to become the emperor to my fate I will rise again for its not late I will make my destiny loyal to my choices I am the alpha and omega of my life The beginning and the end of my happiness For the night has fallen My morning has come

Take Control
Your beautiful body is a work of art Dipped in black gold and coated with brown sugar You define an indestructible uniqueness Your black skin is a badge of superiority Black is magical and above elegant Black complexion is the new religion.

BLACK WITHOUT APOLOGY
It felt like the wind seized and i couldn’t breath      I wandered lonely as the stars which are beyond reach      When all at once i saw a thousand horses      Racing towards me all looking like ambassadors of death        My heart racing like tigers chasing a prey     I closed my eyes to find peace     Rather i heard whispers of death     I am screaming but my voice is without sound     Fear in my heart grew like weeds in a fertile ground    My soul wandered out of my body    My eyes lost sight due to fear of what’s coming    At this moment I am like the desolate sun   I try to think of heaven and hell   I tried to ascend and live in paradise with angels   My feet as stagnant as deep roots In flashes came the life i have lived, filled with kisses i will miss I see myself as a child again The sweet taste of my mother’s breast became sour in seconds Luck will race faster than these horses i believed Pray for me i screamed to my soul which is now far away Come to my rescue i told my guardian angel If he dare comes here i hope he gives his life in place of mine In a second i prayed to all the gods there is to be I believed in heaven i believed in hell   I lift my eyes and behold eagles I believed and prayed to them too Hoping they could bless me with wings Void in the heart filled with fears and doubts I sent my thoughts soaring to my maker In a minute i have drifted in the streams of this world Bound by chains of self-beliefs and self-doubts Faith and self-belief raining out the skies I commanded these horses to stop I couldn't imagine another life Waves of darkness made me understand I am a god.

Hidden potential
It felt like the wind seized and i couldn’t breath      I wandered lonely as the stars which are beyond reach      When all at once i saw a thousand horses      Racing towards me all looking like ambassadors of death        My heart racing like tigers chasing a prey     I closed my eyes to find peace     Rather i heard whispers of death     I am screaming but my voice is without sound     Fear in my heart grew like weeds in a fertile ground    My soul wandered out of my body    My eyes lost sight due to fear of what’s coming    At this moment I am like the desolate sun   I try to think of heaven and hell   I tried to ascend and live in paradise with angels   My feet as stagnant as deep roots In flashes came the life i have lived, filled with kisses i will miss I see myself as a child again The sweet taste of my mother’s breast became sour in seconds Luck will race faster than these horses i believed Pray for me i screamed to my soul which is now far away Come to my rescue i told my guardian angel If he dare comes here i hope he gives his life in place of mine In a second i prayed to all the gods there is to be I believed in heaven i believed in hell   I lift my eyes and behold eagles I believed and prayed to them too Hoping they could bless me with wings Void in the heart filled with fears and doubts I sent my thoughts soaring to my maker In a minute i have drifted in the streams of this world Bound by chains of self-beliefs and self-doubts Faith and self-belief raining out the skies I commanded these horses to stop I couldn't imagine another life Waves of darkness made me understand I am a god.

UNNOTICED The first time i saw you I couldn’t get my eyes off you You smiled at everyone in that room but me I guess your smile was what caught my eye Was it the way you walked Maybe it was the way you talked I remember you sounded like the whispers of angels   I was heading home that day smiling like riches kissed me Too shy to explain the reason why My friends see me as tough As the one who doesn’t fall in love But that is the biggest lie i live with You were strangely too beautiful to forget Your face as smooth as polished marbles So i painted imaginations of us I struggled to understand why i felt this way I reached back in time wishing i told you how i felt But i wasn’t so sure that you would feel the same way I came back every time i had a chance To behold your sun bright smile To see the soft freshness of your skin I wished your  gentle eyes would fall upon mine I stalked you without you knowing From a distance i loved you for you In my dreams i constantly see you In my own fantasies i took you on uncountable dates I pinned pictures of you in my bedroom I knew i loved you better than the one you love I made myself to believe that you are mine You are a human adorned in splendor The honey that sweetened my life without knowing Days turned into weeks and so it continued I was comfortable with loving you from a distance Why? because i was too scared! Too scared that you would say NO Too scared that i would mess things up and lose you forever I know you might call me a coward But would you blame me? Would you blame me for being scared to lose you? You were mine and i wasn’t yours Yea truly most times it makes me really sad                                                                                                                                                                                                              Without you knowing you melted a heart as cold as ice Without you knowing you made me fall in love Without you knowing you brought sunshine to my life Without you knowing your voice became what disarms my demons Without you knowing i smile in my loneliness Without you knowing you are the love of my life In your world i am but a foreigner In my world you are everything The stars that beautified my planet The sweet violin constantly repeating in my head You have become the commanding officer of my happiness Yet in your world i am still the UNNOTICED.

MELANIN BEAUTY She was adorable in her coffee tinted skin Her beauty as rare as the clustering of dragonflies Amazing to look upon like the gathering of butterflies Through her eyes stars felt closer than ever Her lips was as beautiful as the opening of petals My heart paused when our eyes came in contact I felt like i have seen the queen of all that is beautiful The envy of every woman there is to be She was thin tall and adorned in elegance Endowed with charisma of an Ethiopian princess Her smile was first born Her beauty always suffocated the crowd   All i could see was the wonder of her skin I have fallen under the spell of this black queen She was a fragile treasure, the elixir of beauty She sparkled like she was kissed by the morning sun She was never satisfied with her perfection Trying to fix what GOD has personally certified Denting you to wear a skin that isn’t yours Like sharp sand i watched her beauty sink rapidly She was deep rooted in self-doubt of her skin pigment Not knowing the magnificence of her existence She never knew she was a gush of glamour Glorious to behold and graced with melanin Gradually she became high on inferiority complex She became lost in a world she was created to own Your beautiful brown body is a work of art Dipped in black gold and coated with brown sugar You define an indestructible uniqueness Your black skin is a badge of superiority Black is magical and above comparison Black complexion is the new religion .
