I promise to never stop loving you. if I got fifty naira every time I said that line then I would have bought you the car you always wanted. but if I got fifty naira everytime I meant that line, all I'd be able to buy is a bottle of Pepsi with 25cl for my mother and 25cl for today. since I'm more of a Coke guy I might not buy that drink but rather will I pay a biker to ride me to your house so I could tell you three words or turn into a wolf and howl it. better yet, I could just write the words on the moon so when it's full not only the wolves would remind you that I love you. speaking of heavenly bodies, how is your mum doing? a wise man said a husband is the only man that would see your flaws and still think you're absolutely perfect. but it's quite hard for me cos she's actually flawless. they say you are not a man until you find your wife and though I never knew my father, I'm sure he'd be proud of the man you have made me today.

I saw a goddess amongst humans
At first glance
She gave me a feeling my poetic mind couldn't put in words.
I wondered why she walked this earth—
I wondered why a precious being was amidst human beings.
She stood out from every soul that walked past her—
Her eccentricity only made her more alluring.
Thousands of mysteries were hidden behind her innocent face—
I hoped to unfold them.
Her seductive brown eyes made me inquisitive—
Inquisitive about what went on in that beautiful mind.
I yearn to see what was hidden beneath her clothes
I yearn to explore her unblemished body if she let me,
And kiss those full lips till it became numb.
She was Oh-so distant yet she attracted me
She was Oh-so gentle yet easily recognizable in a crowded room
Why ?
I guess because her skin glowed like the moon in the vastness of space—
The depths of her eyes told a story that will never bore—
Or maybe she was just a goddess amongst humans.
Where is your faith
in this world gone awry?
It got lost
in translation
between you and I.
Words we hear and words we say
set their sights on
mindful play,
and everything that
we are taught
merges with our
worldly thought.
That is why
the Savior said
heed my words upon your hearts,
for that is where my kingdom starts.
Take the good
on your way
in what you do
and what you say.

Take the good
along life's road
it will lighten
any load.

Take the good
and pass it on
it takes the weak
and makes
them strong.

Take the good
take joy and hope
the tools from God
to help us cope.

Take the good
God said to me
for in the good
is where I will be.
You hold in your hands
The colour of your day
everything* we shared
has long since
been
destroyed

except for her
hatred of me

so
atleast that's
**something
