Set...in motion.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Death holds me not in remembrance,
Sickness holds me not in remembrance,
I have become THE ADORED,
Not to be mocked, by the ENTIRE world.

To mom & dad with love.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
May not have given the tools,
Surely, they have made, no fool,
Turned out almost cool,
With common sense, from life schools

Jiggers!
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Grown men, bickering like rats,
Squeaking around obvious facts,
To the sewers! Stinky bats!!
Two-face snitches, and their shameless acts.

Elevated
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Good cheer, my beloved,
The heavens have you covered,
Make merry, for thine goodly tide,
For ye have been increased, on every side.

Illuminate me.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Her eyes intoxicate me,
I'm up, all night,
Praying, they'll be,
My guiding light.

The...faking.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
"Don't touch me!"
She screamed!!
But her face sweetly beamed,
When I pulled her, very close, to me.

Swing...by me
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Catch the notes of my love,
Spread your heart wide,
Watch them from above,
As they gently, downward, glide

The LORD'S armada!
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
On my side,
The LORD'S army, charging along,
Cutting off ruthlessly, the wicked throng,
And none can match, the deafening, thunderous ride.

Ginger bread...love.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Like peas in a pod,
Heart pumping blood,
Together, you and I,
Taking on the world, riding high.

Heaven may care,
But I have our rings.

Brighten up!
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Walk out on your dreams,
And others will walk straight into them,
Yes, you swim dark, sorrowful streams;
There are those who've made dams out of 'em.

A moment in time.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
My eyes are open,
But do not see,
This path's not unfamiliar to me,
It's the one I've chosen;

My mind's shut to many things,
Those that naturally appeal to me,
The freshness dawn brings,
The time I spend under the shady mango tree;

But today, I stopped,
To drink in the ambiance,
To gaze upon hedges beautifully cropped,
Basking in the moment I found by chance;

There, I said a prayer,
Of thanksgiving to the heavens above,
To the Alpha and Omega,
For these great gifts of life...and of love.
Those rare moments to really stop...to feel.

The road calls.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
The dusty road to work,
Rough, dusty and hazy,
Hustlers chase their luck,
No greens for the lazy
Off to work

Love...coming!
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Love me down,
Do me thoroughly,
Run me out of town,
Byt wait, after this, our nightly.
Happy Love Day

Twinkle...love.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
The stars in your smile,
Travel the southern mile,
And whenever I get lost,
I look to your stellar trust.
Thanks Oluchi

Deeper...than deep.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
The warmth of family and dear friends,
Hot red and dazzling white,
The beauty of evening sunlight,
Together, you and I, until the journey ends.
Happy Love Day!

I'm yours...forever.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
I will cry upon thine shoulder,
Oh, gentle lover,
I entrust with you my fragility,
Promise, ne'er, to take advantage, of my vulnerability.
Veracruz...the trilogy is complete

Not...assunder
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
I am not afraid,
To be honest with you,
My love for you is true,
Sharper, it is, than a two-edged blade.
Veracruz...she knows herself
Feb 2013 · 427
I want...you....back.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Don't say you don't love someone any more,
When you refuse to let them out the door,
Never give up when you feel you can't continue any more,
What to do is pick yourself off of the sodden floor.
Veracruz...you know who you are :)

Birds never stop tweeting,
Love will find you a sweet thing,
And health will complete this awesome team.

ARROWS of LOVE
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
With you life takes on newer meanings,
Without you, no more...just empty feelings,
Glad Cupid shot me,
And again, with no one else, would I rather be.

Stretch naira through the window,
Get a pack of biscuits,
Chew, chew and swallow,
And savour the little bits.
We love buying stuff in traffic here in Nigeria.

Static
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Moving at a spot,
Stuck in some stupid vortex,
Horrible like dry ***,
Or a quickie in a packed parking lot.
In traffic for over two hours

Woman...of mine
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
She is such a woman,
And am I her man?
She believes in me,
And is this what I see?

The...friend-crossed.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
And there are many millions,
Even billions,
Yet fate had her way,
Crossing our paths the very day;

Many months later,
Chatted...texted,
Friendship getting better,
And we have talked!

You're my highpoint,
Of this year,
You're so on point,
My GingerBread dear,

Jesus' older sister;
Go on and have a great new year,
Many magical moments,
With absolute zero torments. #BirthdayVERSES >>> Adeola Ojo CEO Adehola Creations :D :D :D :D
Met this amazing lady last year and we've become such good bff's!

Balls of Steel (Part 2)
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Never known bread or butter,
The comfort of a warm meal,
A very, very distant deal,
What is more real is a cold drink from the gutter,

Now twenty-one, can neither read nor write,
Wise only in ways rather dodgy,
Would lay ambush for money,
Just for a pleasurable night;

Looking back at time wasted,
Old and grey, a gentle smile plays,
Memorable tunes of weather- beaten days,
And all those horrible monsters proudly bested.
Life's not a bed of sweet-smelling roses

Balls of Steel (Part 1)
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Child of necessity,
Born on a blanket of hope,
To a mother who can barely cope,
And a father who roams the city;

With so much tears,
Mother gathers a few rags together,
Prays fate will find one better,
To love him all his years;

Tempered by harsh realities of life,
Scavenging on scrapes and bits,
Grows leathery skin to survive the streets,
Each sunrise and sunset a renewed strife.

Welcome...amour.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
With red and white,
And hearts beating as one,
Lovers gather in cheerful delight,
To greet the warm, fourteen sun.

Brain...time!
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Will you allow yourself be used?
A great mind such as yours?
Would you for money go on all fours?
And upon society become terror loosed?

Do not allow yourself be used,
Let all positive forces be fused,
Render all political bigots confused,
Tell them to use their offspring instead; we are no longer amused.
Political play in my country brings tears on many occasions.

The...portend.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
When the old die young,
And the young never see the dusk,
Know there is something wrong,
When the living fight over dried husk.

Always...always.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
She’s not beautiful,
But can take your breath away,
Her smile may not be that wonderful,
But she’ll have your heart any day.

Honey...my bunny.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Her chuckles stir me up,
She engages me with her cheerful banter,
Last night, she sounded a lot sexier, and brilliantly smarter,
And I wished and wished again…that she’ll never, ever... stop.

Outcast.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
What’s more depressing than darkness,
More shameful than a golden fool,
As hopeless as a castrated bull,
As frustrating, as a stalemate, in chess?

Councillors...Convicts
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Because you’re not in the orange overalls,
Does not make you a saint,
Don’t smear me with red paint,
Because you walk the hallowed halls.
Pen robbers that call gun robbers thieves.

The victim.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
In cold blood,
The gourd is broken,
In crimson flood,
It lay crooked and ashen.
Wrong place, wrong time...death never gives a warning.

Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
You are a thief,
You go around committing mischief,
You fill women’s hearts with unwholesome grief,
You make men’s lives short and painfully brief.
Certain species of earthlings just do not know what LOVE is...sad, really.

Zomboids
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Out of dark holes they come,
Half breeds with little minds,
Cavernous, monstrous kinds,
Shuffling around for meaty some.
Sometimes, we're not different from the think-less undead.

Hooked on eyes,
That shone like dazzling stars,
These are no lies,
See, here, diamond bars.
I just met this great young lady and she's pretty nice. :)

Broken cry
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Each day’s the same,
The night’s wet pillowcase;
The morning brings in the shame,
Same time, every time, same place.
Difficult when the heart's in a very lonely place

Thickets of hopelessness.

You wonder aimlessly,
In the forest of pain and loneliness,
Scratched, pricked and pierced mercilessly,

The...passing.
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
If death today shuts me eye,
I pray to God, me soul, on wings to fly,
And if I cannot attain a place that high,
Then earth bound without a goodbye.
The fleetingness of life
