Passing by the
stone slap,
the heart leads
to the quiet
red beautiful roses
symbolizing love.
Dwelling in the
garden for a
moment just
to see her,
the fragrance
subtly spreads to
speak for me.
It baffles me
how much i
love to see
her face as
she peeps from
the little window
of the mansion
as she senses
my presence.
Love it is
that binds the
heart of those
who seeks it.
Nothing more ever
can change their
heart.
Both are blinded
by reason of love.
Their ears can
no longer even
hear the quacks
of the ducklings
or even the
grasshopper nearby.
As the deep
calls out to
the deep,
even so their
heart is closed to
common reasoning.
Inseparable and ready
to confront any
challenges unto death,
so are the
things love and
loving can
do to you.
Don't waste this
lifetime without love
accept it even
as a souvenir.

Bouncing back
from rejection has
a way of
affecting us.
The pain is
a lot like
physical pain,
we feel the
pain so deeply,
its heart wrenching.
This is how
perfectionism fails us.
It's best to
celebrate the little
wins and imperfect
moments alongside
the big successes
to combat our
fear of failure.
We all have
an area,
closet,
shelf or
drawer that
remains a mess,
despite our
best efforts.
Hiding behind the
scenes of our
closest is a
terrible idea.
Take a walk,
go for that
long swim,
be creative,
take a new class.
Spend time with
nature and do
some gardening,
until your heart
is ready for
someone new

Everything changes.
Our lives change,
our face change,
our bodies change.
The firmament and
the cloud changes.
The environment changes
due to the
tear and wear,
our houses and
homes change.
The weather changes.
We change our
minds and plans.
Opinions changes,
so is our
relationships.
Our purpose and
preriorities changes.
Even our moods changes.
Our gait changes.
Our eyes change
to reveal our
innermost thoughts.
Our physic changes
as we grow
into maturity
Things changed
about us.
All that we
do is just
nothing but change.
Even the universe
changes for our good.
The season changes
to summer,
fall,
autumn,
winter,
and spring.
And here,
we have monsoon,
and harmattan seasons,
that is the rainy
and dry seasons.
All changes are
welcome.
They are needed.

When you need
just five minutes
of peace.
Just listen to
your heart beats,
they tell you
that you are
still alive.
Listen to
yourself instead
of the world
and your problems,
if you just
want to peace
out a bit.
Why are chickens
so much more
than brain birds.
Chickens,
like many
other animals,
are resplendently
different from
one another.
They can be
therapy birds,
worried mothers,
helpful friends,
impressive memorizers.
The clear capsule
start dissolving
as soon as
it is immersed
in a quiet
pool water.
So are your
problems dissolves
in thin air
when you let
them go.
Cease to worry
about those things,
they are like
ants that crawls
all over you
when you make
a softened butter
creamed with sugar
and paste on your
skin as cream.

Our nation is
a living organism.
Alive with biochemical
pulsating cells.
Apoptosis,
a cell death
of our nation
are set and
already unwittingly
programmed.
Takes a
multicellular effect
if not checked.
Cell changes and
death is eminent.
Changes includes
blebbing,
cell shrinkage,
nuclear fragmentation,
chromatin condensation,
chromosomal
DNA fragmentation,
and global mRNA.
Apoptosis ,
a falling off occurs.
Our nation is
threatened and going
through same
process as above.
Our acts must
be put together.
There is a
suffocating,
crippling misery,
and destitution.
We are desperately
sliding both into
chaos and despondency.
We must get
out of this
cloud of frustration,
with a profound
physical presence of
sour people grieving
daily,
Don't let them
become too rotten
to infect everyone.
It may be
contagious.
All ships must
sail in one direction,
Or very soon
we all go down.

Someone is playing
in the rain.
And another is
crying in the rain.
The other is
just doing crazy
stuff in the
same rain.
But I'm the
only one getting
off my rocker.
Something is
cooking and it's
very disturbing.
Are you thinking
what I'm thinking.
Who is going
to talk or explain
about this strange
rain of today.
Fish falling
from the sky
is definitely strange.
Can someone tell
me what is
inside the ***
of the sorcerers
that is causing
this havoc and
commotion or
was it nature's
benevolence at
play.
But i just can't tell.
It's so beautiful
and yet disruptive,
creating happy-sad
euphoria and i
vehemently
disapprove of it.
The same game
as this one
was not allowed
yesterday to continue.
Yesterday it was
frog and maybe
another time
it maybe aliens.
But the children
are happy and
having the fun
of their lives.
Unperturbed by
this strange
happenings all around.
But we shall
wait and see.

There is definitely
different shades
of green.
Beautiful and
colorful.
It reminds one
of healing.
The green in
the summer.
The lush green
vegetation,
let us see
the strong life.
Like the mingle
and merging
of the chameleon
on a greenish
vegetation.
It's colour change
made it disappear.
The dodging is
so magical,
wonderful and
amazingly thrilling.
Nothing like it
is ever seen.
Nature at its finest.
So captivating and
breathtaking.
How did that
happen,
i really can't tell.
Wishing i can
disappear like that
for a moment
into the oblivion,
just to know
what lies beyond
the other sphere.
The realm of
the unknown will
then become known.
That which is
not revealed yet
will then be
made manifest.
Some day the
night will suddenly
turn into day
and all those
creepy night crawlers
will be seen.
Remember nothing
soever is hidden,
absolutely nothing.
All will come
to light in due time.
