Cold, cold afternoon,
Such and such crossed my mind,
For hours keeping me in a bind,
Now hope I see in the rising moon.

Daddy.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2013
The days you held my hand,
Told me I was beautiful,
But now you lay beneath the sand,
Leaving me behind, unsure, and sorrowful.

Nigeria, my Nigeria.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2013
You're a shooting star against the darkened sky,
You're a red rose in a sea of white lillies,
You're a breath of fresh air in this stale world,
You're a gold nugget in a dark coal quarry.

To deny myself, pleasures;
That still, small voice,
Instructing I thirst in seven measures,
That I take ashes, as weapon of choice

The Job.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2013

Be the string to reel me in,
These moments are hot air anyway,
Human nature, wanting something, unseen.

Blue eyes, she's got blue ice,
Most beautiful things I've ever seen,
Her heart's where I'd have been,
If only, only if, she didn't take, the colder highs.

The Portal

All the scrapes, near misses, and strife,

Once upon a nation
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2013
Divided from within,
Torn by rumours and avarice,
Children grow into selfish service,
And hearts are closed to love and sharing.

Skin Bag.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2013
I have stared hunger in the face,
Many a time it breasted the tape,
Left out of breath in this rat race,
Constantly fighting this starving ****.
A time when only momma's love kept us fed and watered.

Curtains! Take a bow!!
First, and only girlfriend I've ever loved, weds; and it ain't me.

Fooled by love's blindness,
His one and only weakness.
