Who do you think you are,
A shooting star?!
What are you doing here,
Lice in my hair?!

Never thought in several lifetimes,
That my heart would lose guard,
And someone with melodious chimes,
Would play this winning card.
When love takes your breath away.

This right here,
Is one piece of shocking news,
That a promising young man,
Has sailed on beyond the living;
Menfolk are an endangered species.

Eat! Drink! be merry, for none knows,
What the morrow delivers,
Maybe a basket full of sorrows,
Or plenteous mirth like many gushing rivers.
We have only one life to lead, live.

Wounded by life's knocks,
She built a wall around her heart,
To guard against disappointing shocks,
Yes, that was a good start;

Until he came with a smile,
Some kind of magical style,
And pictures of walking down the isle,
Vowing, never to leave her, in a messy pile.
Sometimes it takes a lot of courage.

Hey, what happened to you?
And what did I do?
Last time was... can't even remember,
So, are we lost... forever?
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2020
Nothing ever suffices,
In fact, all fall short,
Constant, unrelenting demand,
For this, this and that, and that!

Root of all evils,
Genesis of all wars,
Origin of all maleficence,
Beginning of all ends.
Every bad thing is traceable to greed.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2020
Lying on my hands,
The uselessness of it all,
Planting in the fall,
Reaping from flooded lands.
