Am Lovable and Special!
Once upon a day in a lonely Restaurant I ate my dose of contentment Spreading my blessings on the cutlery There came a man in an Apron of darkness Matched with the devil's Hat I saw the insect run for shelter and the animals hide their heads He took a sit in front of me without words I knew i should run I look up and saw a door in his eyes shallow,tiny but opened I wanted to explore So I went in with desperation leaving my Lamp behind forgetting that he was total darkness!!!

The Meeting
Awelewa! The sound of her beads send waves to my ears the softness of her palms as it create sweet melody from clapping Orente Adumaradan the jewel in the eyes of her father she has gotten the towns men losing their breath they have been hypnotized by the melodies from her voice each word she speaks falling with varieties of sweetness and you my people have been deceived into believing she loves You Oh what devilish smile! Oh that irresistible wink! When she leave town she goes with our heart in her pouch Aniokanlapo that what we call her. The one with heart in her pouch. Her beauty is glowing but her people are dying. Even as they lament they want her But she is the dark princess feeding only on their lusts

Awelewa
I feel the pain in my left chest The one caused by an absence of what I don’t know Could it be the absence of your pretty lies? Or of the empty promises of your hands The one that promise to take me to the aisle To make me reach heaven on earth No wonder you wouldn’t watch me cry Because you knew an ocean of tears was in the future Born of love and hatred For this one fellow I could cut branches, let my guides down For this one fellow risk were worth taken Because i felt it was true But barely knew we were through Painful as it seems every memory was joyful Because every action and words were of true intent Intent to love and to hurt

Intent to Love and Hurt
I remember the trip to the land of no return The well that is more than 100 years old The one story building belonging to the missionaries A cubicle room that contain thousands of our forefathers The chains,The castigations The badagry Slave Trade Market Then I imagine the pain,The wounds, The rage that boils in their heart yet the white man shout "Apes obey" How blacks betrayed blacks for coins,selling their birth right for breads Truly independent is what we need To the souls that were lost in battle I say "Peace" 55 years and here we are To independence of my Father's Land HAPPY INDEPENDENCE NIGERIA

55 Years on the Go
Emotions spilling out,tears flowing hard Whatever is happening to the wall of strenght must have made it crumbled Love has appeared and disappeared And hatred is laughing at the love we shared! The ones you packed the pieces and threw into my eyes The one you use to raise me and drop me at my lowest What now! Do you want left from the pieces of a chattered heart like mine Roses are dried now,there aren't no rain of season refreshing in me any more! What now! What now! Do you want!

what now!
I wanna stop faking the smile                                                  I wanna start saying my mind                                               to my notepad at least can I pour my thought                      it is a world of mystery I live in                                              It is a blow of pain I feel in my heart                                   With a wet pillow I sleep all night                                           am lonely I know I am                                                           am broken deep down                                                          am helpless somehow                                                          wanna talk to the sky hope it going to listen!

soloing
Oh! I said as I lay back on my bed Thinking of where to begin the puzzle So scanty yet so complusory is the puzzle of life The Good seems too good,and the bad seems too bad Yet there aren't space for sitting on the. Wall Life get tougher on some of us And softer to some of us When we are wining we are happy When we lose we hate life When we smile we forget the pain of yesterday When we cry we forget the smile of the same morning

Puzzled Life
Roll right! Roll left rolling everywhere on my bed. My african prince am dreaming of you This lonliness might **** me This hunger I don't think I can satisfy This thirst I can't quench My love! My love! Think am losing my mind! Cos every seconds I wish to spend with you I keep waiting for your golden handkerchief to dry the tears of my lonliness,my thirst and hunger for you! Come into my open hands my prince!

missing you
I rose to feel the warm breeze of a new day Seeing that a new life has begun The past are all behind me And the future I have dare to face My mind I have made up for challenges ahead,I know what I want and that I shall get I want an awesome fellow,I need a splendid partner I want a friend of class and high esteem Someone with whom together we will conguer Someone to love till eternity even if the sun falls out of the sky Where my man goes,there I will be!

An Eulogy to my dream man
I would drain the pain in my heart out into the fluid of my pen Cos I know in them alone can I find solace I could try to be strong and put my make-ups on but I know my heart is as blank as a plain sheet I could remember those moment when life seems perfect and those thought that you can always have it all But now it more painful to accept that truly you can have it all I would cry to make myself feel better but. I know my tears are my signs of weakness. Then I would wish that I could be consoled by friends But when I look around I found out it just me and my darling thought! Then I would even cry more!
