Pirouette
Safana Jan 2024

Twirl it up, twirl it down.
Twist a tongue and twist it.
One leg whirl, one hand whirl.
Sway in your way and lay.
trip slowly into the strip.
Dance high with bouyance.
step it slowly after footing it.
Take a rag and cut a rug.
For you, the place is flooring.
And foot is footstepping.
Shake it low.
Shake it up.
Feel it on your feet.
The dance is not a boogie.
This dance is a pirouette.
And the dance is gyration.

My Power, My love
Safana Apr 2022
He is my hero in the winter.
My role model in the summer.
My bravery in the spring season.
My conqueror in the fall season.
He is my dad and my total life.

He gave me life when I was dead.
He gave me health when I was sick.
He fed my life when I am hungry.
He filled me with the light of knowledge.
He filled my heart with love and fairness.

He is my bright, sunny days in life.
He is the energy source I am gaining.
He is my beloved mentor everywhere.
And he is more than a betterment of all.
He is my power, my love, and my dad.
This is exactly one year since you left us. Dear Father, we wish you a successful afterlife.
And we pray that our final breath will be tasty.

I could not close my eyes.
Sleep, a thief stole me.
If you say no, then
you are afraid.
This life is not sweet.
Inside,
there is always sourness.
We have arrived,
and everyone cried.
no reason to cry.
If you asked,
The answer is the leaders.
wow! I couldn't understand.
Who is it that is restricting us?
It's us; we've made it hard for us.
No, it is our leader.
hmm!
We don't like the truth.
We really want cheaters.
who promise to make meat pumps for us.
our vote-buyers.
They are the buyers of our rights.
We know them and refuse to fight them.
because of poverty and starvation.
They created poverty and hunger.
to collect honey from our bees.
They created a conflict.
In the south-east,
there is a biafara.
In the south,
there are militants.
In the south-west,
there are OPC and Afinafere.
In the north-east, there is boko haram.
In the north-west, there are some kidnappers.
In the middle of the north, there are forest bandits.
So which one will we endure?
And how do we do it?
There is bitterness in this life.

Scary
Safana Sep 2024
Raucous noise
Rising low, rising high.
In a funeral home.
Before it reaches the grave.
A peppery tear is running.
Burning on the cheek and chin.
The loss of martyrs,
is not a loss of life.
However,
buddy-buddy causes an eye to cry.
Oh! This life is not entirely scary.
The scenes in it are the scariest.

Happy Birthday, Azima

Be blest, Azima...
Be blest, Azima.
Your name begins with penultima.
And your age is not maxima.
As young as you are, minima
I wish your life to be an optima.
To live long in this life so intima.
On this birthday of yours, may you go to Lima.
To see seas and oceans and to eat Arapaima.

Happy Birthday, Azima

As everyone wants to know, I am not new here. I am not old and am also holding gold, as some old grannies sold our gold. By the way, my name is not mane but among men's names. that is the son of a loveable and legendary I merely mean Auwal Habeeb Abdulqadeer, "the safest son of the Safanian." I am, but not a man who is fingerless. My passion and profession are a vision. and a lot of missions I put into division. So I want to accomplish this through some publication on a dish with a fish-stylish. A day before yesterday was dead, how dare tomorrow teach tomato how to toll-free? No history is written on the histogram. Come on, my friends, let's go on, grow, and let not our young ones go.

Dress him in your dress.
Hold his hand with yours.
Lead him to happiness.
Don't let darkness come near him.

Beautiful wishes
Safana Jan 2022
As I can't fall sleeping
Everyday I'm praying
For someone's wishing
To see blue and whiting
On the sky when uplifting
Ages with a green flying

I wish my pen is not drying
And the papers not wetting
And my hands is navigating
To draw a wishful inspiring
To the queen who is loving
Everyday with no confusing

You are on add or dropping
Of plus one or one negating
Of your ages as it increasing
And your days is decreasing
And I wish you more aging
With bright and sunshining

Just surrender!
Safana Feb 2021
Just surrender do not render
Remember!
A calendar is an angle grinder
lowering it's apple pie order
in asunder,
in this life everyone is attender
so, never turn intentions into deficit disorder...
Be less backhander
but a big band leader
or a bidder instead of bar attender,
be more as binder and bleeder
and blender like blinder
to mix not a terrible blunder
Spending a lot like a boarder
in a border seems like a bounder
or a ******* of a dark from light builder...
This world, is a cigarette holder
that chunder with a collider
for every commander of order
or conductor who consider
one contender and converter
who convert court order
from the defender...
All natural recorder
and descent recorder
will speak out in order
not disorder
at coming days without divider
for embroider...
Always be motive like first *******
to cross feeder
of a road or a river with fender
without fender ******...
And the first aider
for first of fender
never, every day flop like a flounder
because some days may end up as
street fodder
so foist upon everyone to
take white collar in folder...
And every founder is a freeholder
not a freeloader...
Hate no one but *******
like an American Gerry mander
who tried to steal the national gunpowder...
Down to the header
is a beautiful herbaceous border,
in a hidden agenda
carrying by a Highlander
to summit it to the lowlander,
why wondering?
for this life made to order
through mail order
not for only majority leader
and markets leader,
this is what paupers mounder
about social grinder
when expecting all infrastructures mender
to come on his hand without milk powder
as a minder to all childminder...
But, a fake minder- reader
will be misreader
appeared to be money spider...
And the cardiac carriage that moulder
in a time of ******
of a serious offender
who drives his life like off-roader
as an offsider with oleander...
for every out rider
who decided to work with outsider...

We hope to be blest to ride on a panda
for our commander to pander
our beautiful wishes and to work
more than plodder
Do not render

Safana Jan 2021
Up and down the street
they shouted and yelled!
An applauses over the
sky and atmospheric
nature blink and gaze
...can be seen, every corner
is a mixture of shine and dark,
in the far eastern is a balloons and
lanterns escaping to the above
earth, in the mid-eastersn a towers
blink and exploded
Above the black quarters, tension
and conflict are competing, and in
the ebony estate the insurgencies
took a ride on their roads...
In every home, there is a bed and the blanket of conflict but in the western
Shelters there's comfort mats to dwell
20 engines has gone, 21 automatically ignite we wish all felis species will ease on their prey

I am also someone else's child.
Just like you.
And I am a servant of God.
Because he created me.
If I am hurt, I can take revenge.
I can also allow it.
I can also forgive.
But in this matter,
There is no tolerance.
There is no forgiveness.
And there is terrible revenge.
If you separate me from my chicken,
So don't separate me from
the egg she laid for me.
because of this egg.
I promise to slaughter your chicken.
and break all the eggs your hen laid for you.
So you know.
Even those in black skins will
not save your chicken or your eggs.
Know that what you sow,
you will reap bitterly.
And I will never regret it.
Because you don't even think about
what will go and what will come back.
To whom it may concern.

I am below the ocean, indeed.

When will the earth turn ashen?
When will the breath be extinguished?
When will love die?

We are sleeping
Under the shade
of a beautiful life
And walking on
Righteous lane
While we Stand
On a giant build
Of Peace and trust
Since the family of
conflict are asleep
...
And, the first awakening
of the conflict, children...
They blew up a pepper
powder to our eyes
Like a tear gas during
the first riot in the
populated city...
Before, we are not
electrophile, and now
we are electrophilic,
All the reactions
Between Politics, Religion,
Capitalism and massism
ride us on a motorcycle
of selfishness to the
market of nothing
to buy unsolvable
conflict

As it is being said,

We are tomorrow's leaders.
If we were given the light,
we would keep it until tomorrow.

Of course,
The light will diffuse.
It will spread until tomorrow.

But if we are given the dark,
We will hold it until death.

Indeed,
Darkness will spread.
It will spread to the grave.

Give us the light.

Take the darkness away from us
and light us up.

Poetry Bear’s Paw
Safana Mar 22
Poetry Bear sat by the stream,  
Lost in thought, caught in a dream.  
With paw on paper, heart so wide,  
A world of wonder danced inside.

The trees whispered tales of lands afar,  
Under the glow of a twinkling star.  
The breeze carried songs from every shore,  
Stories of children, and so much more.

From mountain peaks to ocean's sway,  
Cultures bloom in their own sweet way.  
Drums in Ghana, flutes in Peru,  
Every beat tells a story true.

The meadow spoke of unity’s glow,  
Through colors and customs, they let it show.  
A sari bright, a kimono’s grace,  
A mosaic of beauty in every face.

Poetry Bear’s paw began to glide,  
Writing of nature, far and wide.  
The rivers sang, the skies would hum,  
As global children danced to the drum.

Oh world so vast, so full of art,  
Each culture a beat of the Earth’s great heart.  
Through fields of green, through deserts dry,  
We’re one in spirit, you and I.

And as the stars lit the midnight air,  
Poetry Bear smiled, his soul laid bare.  
For with each verse, his world grew wide,  
A newfound poet, beaming with pride.
