DUST. (TRIBUTE TO ENDGAME.)
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2019
Dust, at the snap of the finger,
Put many lives in danger,
But there arose a band of heroes,
That sent to infinity, the deathly Thanos.

WHERE DO DEAD DOGS GO?
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2014
I want to believe, canine heaven,
Oh,  dear old boy,
You filled our days with jumpy, troublesome joy,
Sad, you never made it to eleven.
RIPP Teddy aka Tafa
Yo' was a good laddie.

SOCIALISM.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Everything belongs to mother,
What is hers is ours,
We all embrace the cold together,
And never question her terrible powers.
287 · Apr 2015
AGAIN.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2015
Thine eyes found me,
When life hath nought for me,
Thine love gave me hope,
When I could not cope.

VERSER.
Dada Olowo Eyo Aug 2015
But between the high and  sounding,
And the lowly quiets,
Rests a place for poets,
Bedecked of beautiful writing.
285 · Dec 2013
Poof!
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2013
You say one,
I hear another,
You are my lover,
And then you are gone.
285 · Sep 2013
Romance...again.
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2013
Between fiery and fun,
Eyes that make heads turn,
She pretends she hates my guts,
Yet...I colour, all, of her thoughts.
Falling in love again???

SUNSHINE BLUES.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2014
Money, fast cars and women,
A good appetite to the dozen,
All these don't make my team,
It's simply because you're my dream;

Make it come true,
I'll give you a clue,
Be my sun-screen,
Then I'll rub you all over, my beauty queen.

BABALAWO, MO WA BE'BE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2019
Moonlight activities, nostalgic,
The days of our childhood,
Looking forward, every evening,
To folktales, to those lores of old.
Growing up in the 1980's was a joyful time. NOSTALGIC.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2015
Standing there, wondering,
Who was staring back at me,
The stranger with the devilish grimace,
Taunting me with a wicked grin.
284 · Mar 2014
The Shine.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2014
I sought an angel,
And found a star,
Oh, she had fallen,
Out of the sky for me.
283 · Jul 2016
DEMISE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2016
By the hands of ignorance,
We waste precious,
Life, given, to be nurtured,
And not permanently fractured.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2019
In the crypts of Winterfel,
Lay the bones of men that fell,
A rich harvest for Whitewalkers,
Day of doom for living talkers.
282 · Sep 2019
HERB.
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2019
Green words of healing,
Spoken since before time borne,
Enemies knew but not revealing,
Blinding powers like the amazing sun.
282 · Oct 2015
ANDROID.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2015
We have no right,
To question God,
Because He has nothing to answer,
For the evil that we have committed.
281 · Nov 2015
GET HOOKED.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2015
They tell you to marry,
And nigh, not to tarry,
Then they leave you high,
Tattered pockets, indebted and dry.

CROSSING OVER.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2019
Dearly beloved,
Yet, here we are, again,
Winding down another year's grind & hustle,
365 daily sweating the bustle;

Forgive me, whither I crossed you,
Mine spirit doth deeply begeth your forgiveness,
Aye, the new year can only get better,
Sharing renewed happiness and plenteous laughter;

Our losses, though they hurt,
Yet all glory to Yahweh all mighty,
Christ, Yeshua, continues to reign,
Constantly soothing our searing pain;

I love and cherish you,
Please find a reason to love me, too,
Never doubt the authenticity,
Toward you, of my heart's clarity;

And as another journey beckons,
Into the the daily unknowns,
Remember, Yeshua will intercede for his own,
As he sits, aright, Yaweh's heavenly throne.
A Yuletide message.

FIRE! (2.)
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2020
A spontaneous internal combustion,
Causing immediate unexplained confusion,
In all this hazy commotion,
You'd think it wasn't a contraption.

THE WOMAN RED.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2015
Whence had it come,
That filthy breath of ***,
Cast away this rottenness,
Eating away our wholesomeness.
280 · Oct 2015
THE ONE AND THE SAME.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2015
At every annoying turn,
He goes on, and on, and on,
She knows everybody,
And even the ones criminally unworthy.
280 · Apr 2013
Lies.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2013
Oh, without you, I'd cease to live,
I am nothing if you leave,
This, my love, you must believe,
None other, can my heart, conceive.

BEWARE! THE PANT BURGLAR!
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2019
Take your eye away a second,
Or bat an eyelid,
And you will be sorry,
No story;

For out there roaming,
Is a mean fiend,
Ripping off female *******,
And leaving no tracies;

The story is awash,
In the pubs, on the streets,
Of desperate ritualists,
Getting into ****** fetishes;

That in used *******,
Is DNA for making money,
Deeply set in the fabric,
Is fluid that oils the maeveric;

So, watch out!
Fall not victim,
Of roving lunatics,
And their ***** antics.
In that country called Nigeria, a group of persons are in the prowl looking to steal used female *******. Those caught have alluded to using the lingeries for money ritualists - a dark fetish art of using diabolic practices tonentise spirits to bring in money. You must know that Nigeria dug in unrelenting poverty with no way out, so the young boys devise devilish means of making ends meet.
279 · Nov 2015
NO WAY.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2015
Love is not a two way street,
For when you get in,
And pair with whom you see fit,
Then you give and give, even through the thick and thin.
278 · Oct 2015
SWEAT.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2015
Bend nigh, ebony goddess,
Arrange thine voluptuousness,
Take mine instrument,
And warm it forever, in a moment.

BEDS AND ROSES.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2016
The day we are born,
And when our job is done,
Between is a grey mix,
Of fix and break; break and fix.
277 · Apr 2016
TWO STRIPES.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2016
Aye! Aye! The planted seed is anchored,
Joyful tiding from the mouth of babes,
For in nine, will come the bloom,
Heralded by two lines on a strip.
Fatherhood is such great feeling.
She told me on April 21, 2016; day prince died.
277 · Sep 2014
CAP IN HAND.
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2014
Ego nailed to boot,
Sow to this precious root,
Your coin will travel,
Far to our place of marvel.

FACE DOWN.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2015
The sight was shocking,
On a beautiful Monday morning,
Greeting the rise of the golden sun,
Was the stiff, cold body, of a mother' son;

Dressed in a hat and suit to match,
He wore, on his right hand, a ticking watch,
Many walked by and wondered at the scene,
Eyes questioning what could have been his sin.
276 · Oct 2020
BABE OR BITCH.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2020
This one is around,
Just for the bread and butter,
The other kisses the ground,
And is more than a mother.
275 · Nov 2015
BESPOKE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2015
This maker of craft,
Draws an angry blank,
Shakes off this annoying shaft,
And misses out on smiling to the bank.
274 · Aug 2015
THE ROCK.
Dada Olowo Eyo Aug 2015
As she turned a year older,
And I thought the time was perfect,
Those four words left my mouth,
Never spake 'em before, and ne'er again.
273 · May 2013
The Beautiful Escape
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2013
When it all gets too much,
I run into Sanctuary,
Here, I am in no hurry,
To get in touch.
272 · Oct 2018
THERE WAS A TIME.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2018
When the bird sang sweet tunes,
And the trees sweeter fruits,
Alas! tormentors now glory in their loots,
And The People of State lay die upon hot sand dunes.
Once upon a time Nigeria could care for her people; today, the people do not care what happens to her.
272 · Dec 2014
GIVE CRIMSON.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2014
This red gold you own,
Freely give to save a life,
Across race or creed,
It unites every one human and every being.
Donated blood for the first time a few weeks back and felt absolutely good about it. Will not stop living right so I can continue donating OK.

WORLD POETRY DAY.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2016
Almost missed penning,

Something to mark the day,

My thoughts roam very far away,

Floating...drifting...floating...drifting.
Happy World Poetry Day to Poets around the world.
271 · Jan 2015
UNSPOKEN.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
We speak without words,
Talk without saying anything,
We fight without swords,
Yet we are our everything.

THE...EMPTYING.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2016
Some, I have liked and loved,
Others,  I have loved and had,
But somewhere, in there, all my emotions dissolved,
Leaving me very cold, miserable and sad.
269 · Jan 2015
THE BOTTOM.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
If wishes were fishes,
Everyone would swim,
But I drop like lead,
Even when I tread like mad.
268 · Nov 2015
WINKERS.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2015
Searched through the ages,
For the other pea in the pod,
And whenwhen she was found,
The whole world came around.

COMING OUT. (4)
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2019
But this woman found power,
From the voices of others,
Marching down fear like soldiers,
In the sunshine, she's a proud tower.
267 · Mar 2016
THE AGING.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2016
Among the clouds raining down,
Delivered after a decade's wait,
His mercies are never late,
Oluwaseunfunmi, mentioned without a moment's frown.
The Turn of Another Season. I am a year older, March 14.
266 · Jun 2014
THE FOREVER.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2014
The perpertuating expanse of the skies,
The love in a woman's eyes,
Mysteries man will forever contemplate,
More so, with you, since our first date.
To Miss Winkieboo with plenty of Winky affection on the celebration of your...2014 birthday :D :D :D
266 · Sep 2019
US. WE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2019
Imagination that's pure,
Heavenly sweet sensation,
You, my friend and companion,
To share with, to care and dare for;

You alone matter to me,
The two of us basking,
In the sunshine of our loving,
Being the best versions we can be.
265 · Aug 2015
UNFORTUNATE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Aug 2015
That all my life,
To you I devoted,
But only rewarded,
With sorrow and strife.
265 · Jan 2015
CHANGE, THE MORE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Many odd years,
The same salty tears,
Nothing ever transforms,
Even with several reforms.
265 · Dec 2015
NO FUEL.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2015
We sleep daily at the pumps,
And get crushed by failed brakes,
This country staggers to the dumps,
And everything is up for cheap takes.
Nigerians will NOT celebrate the Yuletide but spend endless nights on fuel queues at gas stations.
265 · Dec 2015
SINGLE MATED.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2015
How impossible to remain with the one,
But penguins do it, and eagles, too,
Men say it cannot be done,
And women pray for just us two.
264 · Jun 2013
One...not the same.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2013
My shadow and I are in great dispute over you,
He says he loves you better than me,
I say I love you better than he,
We both cannot seem to know what to do;

Thus we ask:
He says he loves you more because he will be with you during the night,
I say I will love you forever, and always, when it is bright,
Now, we beg you, put an end to this aching task?
264 · Oct 2020
DOGMA.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2020
Should fear be,
The cornerstone of,
Religious persuasion,
And global confusion?
263 · Apr 2015
MOVE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2015
The staleness of your emotion,
Irritates me much,
No bearing on my condition,
Enough of such and such.
