I am sleeping
Over the strength
Of needle
Safana Dec 2023
I am carried away by the joy of love.
I do not know what to cling to.
I feel smooth regardless of what I hold.
Then I slipped and fell once more.
The sweetness of love whisks me away.
I completely encircle my body.
I do not want to be slopped in any way.
Safana Apr 2021
She smuggled me
into the pond of
love where I am
sinking down to the
pond bed

We are born in
Yesterday and today
And tomorrow, we die in.
Here, where we rise to live.
Someday with blue and black.
Sometimes, a green atmosphere.
Sometimes, it's breathless.
Some are sleepless nights.
Some are sleeping at night.
It is where we endeavour.
To plant and harvest in.
With a brain and a ***
It's our communal way.
a social society to live in.
It has a viable living alternative.
Our society can be bright.
Our society can be dark.
We vote for what is right.
Today and tomorrow, decided.
On the path to reaching the bright
On the path to reaching the dark.
We are unable to function.
in the absence of society.
And society is not functioning.
Without human endeavor,
Effectively, we are capable.
as in doer and don'ter.
Why can't a doer be uplifting?
And the don'ter be a doer?
We need to recall yesterday.
To make a beautiful day ahead
We need to deeply look into the sky.
To see the clouds, atmosphere, and stars
We need to look below our feet.
Will the sand make plants grow on it?
Our society is our home.
We live in, without a place to call home.
It affects our gestures and postures.
like breathing in and breathing out.
In many ways, society is affecting human capabilities. Whether the masses or elites, they have the capacity to do vital things. Society has an effect on them. In Nigeria, there is no effect on society's capability.

Trust in heart...
Soft to convince so many
Safana May 2021
I want say...
Something about
someone I do care
for she is caring
me, yesterday and
today nothing I see
like her hand and pen

She is a,

Social tutor
Originator of peace
Lange, when doing righteousness
An Artist, with a golden pen
Nicely her hand is, when writing
Gladly she interact with me, and
Excellently, she appreciate others
Lange =Long in German language

So Long

You hit my heart.
The heart is broken.
It fell to the ground until it melted.
Like a glass and a candle.
And there is no fixer, let alone a fix.
Here's the heart I just gathered in my hand.
How can I do anything with this heart?

So support this heartbreak.
Mend the broken heart.
Iron it out after melting.
Treat her like a baby.
Own her completely.
Live with her until eternity.

Do you think I am stupid?
I am assured that, between
You and I there must be stupid

Everything is in record, don't
Ever try to think very negative

Awaken at noon. 
after in the morning.
Aside from the night,
And all life is gone,
to fall to sleep.
Some have a nightmare.
Sometimes it's a sweet dream.
White has a sweet dream.
And Black has a nightmare.
And White is willing to awaken.
And Black is willing to go on.
The blacks need not open their eyes.
For certain, it is unjust.
There is no pity in green-white-white.
As the pity in red and white.
And green brings beauty.
But this green brings horror.
And the whites bring harmony.
But this white brings hatred.
Safana Jun 2021
He is someone I love
Yesterday and today
I wish tomorrow we
will be riding on a
White horse together

I am a fruit with fur like a cat.
I am soft to touch but bitter to taste.
Because my mother tree is so harsh.
I germinated under mahogany leaves.
For my standing to be filled with bitterness.
But, I appeared to have rough bark.
Harsh to the touch and sweet to the taste,
I grew up in the honey bee hives.
For my life to be brimming with sweets.
Safana Aug 2024
My life is so-so.
I live not so hot.
I don't want to live top-hole.
For, I am afraid tip-top.
And my life will not be high-knee.
For the reason that,
I am a son of man.

Since justice has given way
to terrorism.
Since justice has become
synonymous with kidnapping.

Know that hunger
is a catastrophe.
Hunger is war.
It is either ****
or be killed.

I swear both to God and to you.
I can go for twenty-four hours without eating.
Children were arrested during protests in Nigeria, but they have yet to be brought to court. Because of hunger and poverty, they considered the Russian flag as a solution. They were brought before the court yesterday, and the judge granted them bail in the amount of ten million naira, or approximately 6069 US dollars.

How can a person who is unable to feed himself for 24 hours or more obtain such large sums of money?

This is what justice looks like in Nigeria.

Heart of bone,
It is hard, not soft.
The owner is very stubborn.
It does not hear or see.
Everything told, was right.
Whether it's wrong or right,
that's right.
If a proposal is made,
it is not accepted.
If advice is given,
it is not taken.
because the heart is made of bone.

She cure the sty

So, never let the nature

Never let the sun glower
to fall on the roof above
me, I will wish the
sunshine to defeat the
night and the darkness
in every sunrise and I
wish to welcome your

When?
The success beyond
The failure, it's...

I thought,
Shortly the sky will
Pour its tears down
And, the sorrow of failure
Shall sweep from our hearts

... can't say luckless man
You are,
Hug the things all,
To reach
The max of a time
To understand and,
To succeeded

Know that,
The things are...
Lugubrious
And, Doleful
And, mournful
Time was unpleasant
And, long-suffering
Family, for not electrifying
That process of your life

Recall that,
A miss is as good
As a smile
It's quite indelible
And, very good to forgive
Set the beliefs that
Succour, must be attained
#Lugubrious  #Doleful  #mournful # succour #long-suffering

In a sleeping mode
When the dream is active
I remember, the beauty
Of that gorgeous looking,
She is more than I ever
See a beautiful creature,
Her eyes gleamed in the dark
As, her skin, light and gleaming
I caught her beautiful
Glimpse, in that darkness
Her eyelashes fluttered
Herself, clothes so neat

Slowly, she came to me
Talking and teased my sight
Suddenly, she touched my ✋
And softly, she kissed my lips
She flattened me then trying me

I had just wakened, suddenly
Praying, succubus not she is

I will tell you
I will tell you...
when you question me
I will give you
I will give you...
when you ask me
I wish to tell you
something about the sun
when it rise in the precious
morning and when it set in
the beautiful evening...

The sun is patiently smiled
at the beginning of the night
when the night slapped on
the sun cheek...

And the sun said:
Goodbye to the
day and welcome
to beautiful moon

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.

One and more...
the time to feel,
Uwani, the nickname
Maryam, her real
Bright and shine
She is, a beautiful
If she glanced
Nicer, if she speak
Feeling innocence
Not fulani, like me
Had a beautiful eyes
Toffee nosed, not
She is neither a tall
A short not she is
Having fair face
Feeling so shy

She steal my heart
One very night
I feel to report
But no police
station
I call, for
an emergency
And no one helped
I just surrendered
Because
No any solution


She accepted me
Like presidential
Candidate of no
Primary voting
I struggled harder
In the rain and
Dry, and harmattan
I loved her
energetically
with passion
And fashion
I felt like she is
a running fluid
in my veins

*
But,
I found somewhere

I am null
in her

That's the end of
The real story

It's a destiny on
everyday to
the sunbeams
to hit the soil
and the green
to grow fresh

It's a nature, every
seeded plant to start
growing with
germinated awakening

This, is not by guess
it's just on real incidents
That had so many did
in the dreaming of the
realities yesterday and
the day before yesterday
Sussex will be the monarch  ruler of England one very day

Pen drop the ink
Pen soaked by the ink
Pen pushed in the ink
And, the giant pen dived

Take my hand
Take my sight

I can hear no one
My ears listen to...
No one but...
The sweetest sound
Is a voice sound
That make my heart...
Feel, not thirsty and
My life to feel very...
Fantastic in the day
and night when it's
Friday like Saturday
and Sunday, so
Take my hand and
Take my sight

Tamarind sour
like lemon juice.
If it drink, there is dancing.
And the tongue will taste sweet.
such a sweet papaya
Its texture is like mango.
Of course, if it drink, there is dancing.

The drum beat
The body will move.
The hand will wave.
The leg will be shaking.
The eyes will blink.
Mouth will open.
The nose will breathe in oxygen.
It will reach the lungs.
then the heart…
The vein will be damp.
The body will improve. 
So, holistic health is achieved. 
Then, this is perfect health.
