A night to remember
Oasis May 2019
I crawled quietly off the day's activity
My head was still banging hard like the hit of a starved lover boy
Coupled with the blessing of downpour upon the earth some hours before

Retiring to my spacious room with nothing but the beauty of a carpet
Upon the supposed protection of my duvet

A merrying sound of some uninvited guests dancing towards my crib
They all beamed so well with a sweet smile on their face

Their chants wasn't victorious as it supposed to be
But a beautiful chants of conspiracy and rebellion
I cannot be a target I murmured under my large cover

Yeeh!!!

I'm hurt

They all drag my flesh among each other
This is unfair
My heart cry for help but my mouth has been muted
It was suppose to be a celebration of whatever
But here they are feasting on my already tiring body

How come you all want to feast but forget your meal at home
I asked one thousand and one times
I hope I will find something within me when the sunrise

Upon this sadness
I laid myself totally for their evil party

After a long while I believe you are here
After the dawn of the sun

I still feel the passage of your little light within
After the rain drenched me off your thoughts

I still have a strong vibe of you
The night they said you left

I still caught the tap of your palms behind me
Though it was in deep dark

But I know you for that prank
When they all believe you aren't here

I bear the strong thing within
You are not far from where I am

Yes I miss you
I miss you every bit

Day to day
Night after night

I still cry to see you once more
You left within saying a bye

I am still outside the cold
Waiting for you to come

Adufe
Heed quickly to my calls
Run beyond the stale of time

Let me whisper after this long dream
That I know you are here.

I'll be backsoon
My heart is here though nature won't let
but i am set to make myself loose
off its painful sting
I have called for father's helping hands
His aides will soon be here
so my heart rejoice in his salvation
when I'm back
I will tell you more.
Trust me I'll be back soon.
Yours truly

My Desire is you
Oasis Jan 2017
Hear this my love
For all I have bear
You won't let me
come near
My words drench
clear truth
See the hopes flow
from my fainting eyes
What will my gain be
Crushing your heart
with tricks
Vain feebles like others do
The moon still lie
in wait to cloth us
with its dear blessing
and smile luck on us
gird your heart a trial
or you'll regret not trying
My heart faints still
with hopes I can wait
For a nod of hope
Let my wait worth it
soothe my broken heart
In all this rumblings
My desire is you
.

What daze me craze
Is your faith to fate
Up above the nation's feet
Across the oceans rage
Down the land that curse
Yet mind stands fearless
Amidst your foes rants and lies
How soon shall you come
Into the land of rest
Not until your fame flies
Up abroad its stage
With eyes full of many
Unriped aborted response
Maami thought you craze
Papa says you'll fail
Uncle lays await
Of your failed mistake
To blow you off in mockery
And shame daze you off the way
Yet your craze raised high
In what seems unshaken
Of your faith and hopes
To make the village known
Of its giftings and raws
.

Joy fills the dept of our heart
The captain of our foe
now captures with our hands
Just as he stumbled
through the darkness he built
with his hands
fear of light
grips his darkened heart
Weak in strength
bows his head to the dust of the ground
powerless in his loneliness
Authority his mouth desire to command
but falls to command defeat and shame
War cease as our soul
finds endless peace
The corner of our street is filled
with the walk of freedom

WAITING
Oasis Jun 2016
Aremo my Love
The thought that fills my smile
Fairest of the good bachelors
that exist in the land
Though many young virgins
waited long to see your face
but end up being deceived
Out of lust, the virgins
of the Land had thrown away
The fort you committed to us
Many defiled out of their
Impatience and convetiousness
Make haste my beloved
I look patiently
Looking intently for your coming my Love
Though my heart weakens
And it doesn't look easy
Yet I'll find it easy
Out of my passion for you I'll wait
My lover I'll stay in there
Else I'll be defiled
With my foes vain speeches
Waiting and looking forward to your coming
For I know it's near
Constant mockery rocks my mind
Friends and foes firing at me
Waiting...
Till I see your glorious face
Shine its light into my darkened
and tired eyes
Till your hand touches me
I'll stay till day break
Till the shadows find no expression
Around me
Until I feel the blessedness of
the weight of your presence
Tables beautifully set
The hour to walk
Graciously to the banqueting house
with my lover draws near
For I know the voice  of my lover
It is sweet and sounds good to the ear
I will choose to deafen my ear
to the voice of deceit
Many waters cannot quench it
The fire of love burning deep inside of me
They sit at my doorpost
Liars and defilers
Thinking I'll be drunk
Drunk with the wine
which will carelessly pushed me
out of the chambers
I'll rather be drunk
excessively drunk with your love
The Prince of persia and his aides
Stalk me with vain words
but the sound of your coming
Keeps my heart at perfect peace
My beloved, the sacrifices of your love
I'll overcome
Your love for me is enough
to keep me waiting

CHASING THE WIND
Oasis Apr 2016
Futility of Futilities
useless toils all ends
Fruitless gathering
Filling up water in a basket
.
.
Soldier go
another comes again
the barrack remains still
.
.
Won't the sea be filled up
despite the constant running of
the river into it
.
.
Eyes not yet satisfied
causing the hand
Into hard labour
.
.
What had been
will always be
So nothing comes
new under heaven
.
.
Quest for popularity
Power
Prestige
All ends a grasping
for the wind
.
.
Peculiar treasures of
royal hands are
consumed and turned
under earth
.
.
Effortless chase
Vain panting
after searching all seems
taking off the creator's hand

POVERTY ISLAND
Oasis Mar 2016
Oh our high land
has carelessly been made
low by our own hands
Our gold are sold leaving
us sleeping in the cold

The comfort blanket is being
removed from our bodies
by the strangers we gave the
opportunity to spend the night in our abode

The ones we had called
in out of the cold had
Wickedly thrown us out in the cold
taking dominance on our gold

Lunacy makes way as brothers
stood against brothers
The hands that were dependent on
by the masses became independent

They fed their mouth to the
brim rather than feeding
the people

People are loosing weight
while their pockets are gaining
weight and strength
They cut off with their own hands
hands that place them in power...

Calm

A cool breeze
crush out
the harsh
heat
Oasis
clouded
the once
dryness of the land
Darkness fades
away in fear
as light now finds
expression
The heart merry
in liberated happiness
Voice of calmness
All these speaks
Silently
Into my hairless ear...

I THINK I WRITE RIGHT
Oasis Feb 2016
I THINK I WRITE RIGHT... Wale ****


Though am not a good poet
and my poem may not sound correct
but indirect it affect....

though am not word bank
but my word still sank
like a plank in the water tank

Then I know I cannot go blank
like the world richest would
not lack money from his bank

The paper cannot be white
like my mama's wrapper
though it is tight for me to write in the night
But I'll go to the light where it's bright
that what I write can be right.

— The End —
