midnight hides a fear
that stops the winter winds whizz
brr chills my spine

the night silhouette
birthed the morning joy of spring
aww flowers bloomed

sun shown in orange
for my orange trees harvest
oh it looks so nice

hot air brought me joy
heaps of orange start mounting
tut the trees thorns pricked

blood flowed down my leg
fluffs well up tears in my eyes
yuk some juice then spilt

the summer bees smiled
to make sweeter the orange
hmmm more juice filled my drums

I smelt autumn leaves
that scents the butterflies love
wow I love those wings

joy then filled my tanks
I'd dance like monkeys this fall
shhh my pain's now my gain
Can this stream of tears ever dry?
It just won't stop the more I tried!
The spherics of its wetness just got bigger the more I cried!
Each of its drop is hot enough to bake me a fry.

So gentle people could fly this high,
That the best the birds could give was just a sigh,
Tho' the brightness of the sun had shone brightly by the time you died.
But mama why did you refuse to even wave us a bye?

Death has now locked your goodness in a coffin,
With bones soon left to dry out lean,
Your soul will now wear white gowns without cufflinks,
Your dance is now only to the king of kings.

You died ripe in age,
You even left as a sage,
Your wisdom so enormous are now locked in a cage,
So your birthdays will now come with no more bellies served with cakes

Adieu! As God forever liveth,
May you find a place in heaven stayeth,
May songs of victory be beautiful for your soul to forever singeth,
And may your soul forever in peace resteth.
If loving you is an offence,
I'm set to rot in the worst jail,
With your love, far my heart will sail,
Then there I will scale any fence.

Nothing will again make a sense,
Your love will be there without fail,
It is then true love will prevail,
Our true friendship will then commence.

And if you give me back true love,
Then I'll swim oceans for your sake,
My love will sing loud your sweet song,
Then o''er all things you shall be 'bove.

Other women, I will forsake,
Hope loving you won't turn out wrong!
May you be victorious in battles,
May you be rewarded with divine joy,
May happiness be part of your chattels,
May you always have favours to enjoy.

May all your efforts be crowned with success,
May you live in peace of mind and good health,
May you be free from all forms of distress,
May you be well-filled with blessings and wealth.

May God's love forever live in your home,
May God protect you from untimely deaths,
May good fortune find you during their roam,
May God guide your steps right till your last breaths.

And when breath finally ceases your life,
May you also have a great afterlife.
In tranquil thoughts and wellness, may you dwell,
May joy's sweet warmth forever be your guide,
May favors smile and fortune's gifts abide,
May blessings bloom and flourish, all may tell.

May happiness make your heart to feel well,
May faith and hope, like beacons, shine your ride,
May life's uncertainties flee from your side,
May peace never bid your life a farewell.

And when life's journey ends, and your last breath,
May God's love be what will hold you very tight,
May His grace be what will guide you after death,
May heaven's joy be for your heart's delight,
May God's own guidance provide you with strength,
And in eternity finds you upright.
pears ripen slowly,
the bees thrum their joyful songs;
summer harvest's near
Today's rain is more of a doom,
But why not just spare my own room?
You just poured in without a shame
So, who will then take this your blame?

Tho', where I live is a jungle,
My life needs not be this bungled,
Because this flood was just a lot,
This is not just based on my thought.

Its' anger was unleashed too pure,
Though, not only to us, the poor,
Those at Lekki bought their own shares,
Their riches brought them their scares.

Tho' pained, but not by my soaked book,
But by the food I was to cook,
They were all soaked by this mean crook,
That turned my room to a deep brook.

My hunger cried, as the rain poured,
Everything swam, as the sky mourned,
Hunger came, as salary cried,
Debts begged, as the month-end sighed.
