RED CORNER.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Tension, in my *****,
Caught a whiff of you,
****! What;s a man to do?
And here, no gold coins.
230 · Oct 2015
GLORY.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2015
Come, spread out beautifully,
Lay gorgeously on the soft satin,
But give me forever to savour,
Such wonder between these mounds.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2019
At it's very teary end,
The game takes a grip,
Of those jostling for thrones,
The dead have their final say.
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2014
Fear befriends me,
Wraps me in blind embrace,
In the stillness of space,
Harmony is all I see.
228 · 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.
228 · May 2019
DEFINITIVE.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2019
Somewhere in the centre,
I drew the present and past together,
And no matter how many times the coin was thrown,
It landed on a future full of the terrible unknown.
225 · Oct 2015
REALITY.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2015
Expect evil from everyone,
Accept all good that come thine way,
Truthfulness and sincerity; love and  justice, all are well worn,
For life is not all amorous fun, nor humorous play.
223 · 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.
222 · Mar 2019
CRASH.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2019
Dreams shattered,
Aspirations asphyxiated,
Hopes extinguished,
Relationships destroyed;

That news everyone dreads,
Like a cold jolt from Hades,
It envelopes all in stiff darkness,
And pours grief plentiful measure.
A big plane fell and killed dozens of people, a good number comprising whole families. It is interesting to note that no great deal of effort has been out into engineering safer landing for planes in distress. Should everyone aboard a big bird perish just because...? SAD.

THE WOMAN RED.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2015
Whence had it come,
That filthy breath of ***,
Cast away this rottenness,
Eating away our wholesomeness.
221 · Jul 2015
GOLDEN BRIGHT.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2015
Why peek from behind the clouds,
When you can break the through the folds,
Turn fluffy fear into a story.
And blaze in all your glory,
221 · Jul 2019
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.
221 · Apr 2014
THE BEST PART IS YOU.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2014
In your arms the earth stops,
Spinning in the opposite direction,
Away, I am all motion,
And all else flops.
221 · Oct 2015
WEDGED.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2015
Between clarity and the simple,
A place neither you nor I,
Will find, as a point, so high,
As that of a rising dimple.
219 · Nov 2015
THE SUN DIED.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2015
He refused to shine,
Then we looked to the east,
But found broken rays,
Alas, these are sorrowful days.
218 · Dec 2017
HAPPY BONDAGE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2017
The beloved shackles,
Oh, those fettered minds,
Hands that never want to swing free,
And feet always contented with walking forward, backward.
218 · Dec 2014
THIS HOLIDAY.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2014
Every cell bursting with joy,
These feet can not stop dancing,
Did not get one toy,
But will not stop singing.
217 · 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.
217 · Nov 2015
THE POWER.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2015
I make me what I want,
Insecure, shrivelled and broken,
Or happy and giddy,
A fun, go lucky daddy.
217 · Dec 2019
GONE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2019
The cheerful, bubbly man?
The one that catches attention?
Yes, the angels took him away,
And we're too shook, to ask, why?
Mr. Mattias Hamo was a man of immense stature, of tremendous timbre and calibre. The last time I saw him was in 2017 when he gave me a lift and some pocket change. He was a frugal man.

His wife was was a senior colleague and elder to me.

He will be greatly missed.
217 · Sep 2013
The love...
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2013
Rolling in the hay,
Bright, with warm laughter,
The picture of the us together,
It was magical, in every way.
216 · Jun 2016
NO AISLE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2016
Angrily, I said no,
Because she broke my heart,
Ten years ago,
And I did not want a restart.
215 · Jul 2019
CRYPTO PHANTO.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2019
Filled with unnecessary pressure,
Brainwashed into losing all sense ability,
Stripped of all decent adornment,
Put under tremendous falsity;

And for what?
To fulfil what society expects,
In the league of fertile life givers,
Underlying a wicked, sinister, world.
Many Nigerian women fall victim of 'Cryptic Pregnancy' or 'Phantom Pregnancy' induced by charlatans that go about promising 'fuit of the womb' where there is absolutely none. The inject these women with all sorts of pregnancy mimicking hormones, the women get bloated, then after nine months they're to sleep only to hand them babies stolen or bought from other women. It's a terrible situation. UNFOLDING.

CHANGE, THE MORE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Many odd years,
The same salty tears,
Nothing ever transforms,
Even with several reforms.

THE REST OF US. (Part 1)
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2014
Who are we?
How did we?
When did we?
How then can we?
214 · Nov 2015
THE SLOW.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2015
When I came to,
Awakening to lost love,
I felt my heart wrong,
And knew I will never be strong.
214 · Oct 2013
Found Love.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2013
If I didn't get it,
On a platter,
Then I would want it,
To last forever.
214 · Jan 2015
PLACE BEYOND OUR EYES.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
My heart wept,
When I saw where he was kept,
Unfit even for the dead,
But he proudly introduced his spread.
214 · Apr 2016
THE WIFE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2016
Closer to my heart,
Than my seventh rib,
Where should I start,
Talking about our love, right from the crib?
214 · Oct 2015
FIRED DOWN.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2015
After a cup of strong coffee and orijin,
My mind opened to everything,
I could feel love and brilliance,
All at the same instance.
'Orijin' is a Nigerian bitters with alcohol in it.
213 · Jun 2014
LONG FUSE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2014
Kick me, scratch, spit,
I welcome all,
With a smile so tall,
And I love, every one, and bit.
212 · Jun 2019
HACKED!
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2019
But my wall of impenetrable hatred,
And anti love defenses,
Couldn't stand up to your thoroughbred,
Sweet, delicate and measured advances.
212 · Nov 2015
TERROR!
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2015
What goes through your mind,
When you blow up humankind?
What goes through your mind,
When you take all the peace that we can find?
212 · Sep 2015
THE END?
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2015
Still, unmoving, and cold,
The blue eats up the warm red,
Then alone, on the long narrow road,
Floating along, floating...leaving behind much unsaid.
What happens when we have breathed our last???

ON THE SIDE OF EMPTY.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2018
Come, have a taste of my difficult life,
Daily I dine on poverty and strife,
My pockets are filled with nothing,
And the harsh cold stiffens everything;

But you sit on the rock,
Ride all day in a cool truck,
Surrounded by linen and fine gold,
And never afraid to grow old;

Deaf to all my frustrations and agony;
Never acknowledging my tearful testimony,
Blind to all my sorrows,
Waiting until I am no better than scarecrows.
The elite ruling class of the Nigerian society pretend all is well form the cosy recesses of the state house, feeding fat off the hardship of the masses...sad

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.

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.

THE MEETING AFTER.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2018
When I first met you years ago,
I had this strange, strange feeling,
But I knew not what it meat at the time,
Then I hated you for it, why?

Because courage failed me,
The contents of my heart burdened me,
And the fiery look in your eyes frightened me more,
Such powerful beauty wrapped in simple tastefulness;

And after all these years,
I still feel these things in my heart,
So, the day you looked at me with equal interest,
Everything exploded, everything! Into one amazing love story.
Love shouldn't be complicated.
208 · Apr 2014
THE RUNAWAY.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2014
You say you love me,
But your heart is miles away,
You promised to stay,
But never left the open sea.
207 · Mar 2019
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.
207 · Jan 2015
FEAR INSIDE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Dry in the mouth,
Chest thumping,
Palms dripping,
Confidence heading south.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2019
The sun, it took a detour,
It went South,
Where all the darkness sparkled,
Then it stayed, for a while;

When the moon strolled east,
It took along the stars,
A blanket of emptiness,
Covering forgotten lands;

The baobab stretches leafy appendages,
Inviting the lonely acacia,
The obeche remembers greeny times,
When the forest was quiet and  homely.
Nigeria has ten million children out of school, may be more, but the reality of it all is that in twenty to thirty years time, that country will real the ****** reward of their negligence. WORD!
205 · Nov 2014
MOVE ON.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2014
Will hell freeze over if I left you,
Or the heavens fall?
Would time never stroke the hour,
If I said my last goodbye?
205 · May 2016
FARE BYE.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2016
But as you set sail,
May your spirit never fail,
To hear us hail,
Your daring and steadfast tale.
Lost friends are not forgotten.
204 · Aug 2019
BLUE SHEET.
Dada Olowo Eyo Aug 2019
If it's not the same to you,
I wouldn't like a moment,
A lifetime is what we can do,
So quit acting, no need to comment.
203 · May 2014
THE END.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2014
And when you die,
Exit on an awesome high,
Float up cheerfully into brightly coloured sky,
And wave us all a merry goodbye.
202 · Jun 2019
SHATTERING.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2019
What if everything you will ever know,
Was a carefully orchestrated lie?
To tame you until the day you die,
And death only revealed this terrible blow?
201 · Jan 2015
MOM! I'M A MAN!
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Had it up to here!
Allow me be myself!
Yes, you brought me here!
But now can take charge of myself!
201 · Jul 2019
EPAR.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2019
More struggle, struggle, strrrruuuggglllleeeeeee...,
All resistance overcome,
Powerless even to blink,
Wide eyed, alive to every ******;

Was it what I wore?
The way I rocked my hips?
The contours of my chest?
Did I send the wrong signals?

Could I have fought longer?
Clenched my thighs tighter?
Scratched a bit more?
Screamed louder than before?
Many victims of forced ****** ******* blame themselves or are blamed by certain types of society. Only people that **** others can truly tell what motivated them. SAD.

DOGMA.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2020
Should fear be,
The cornerstone of,
Religious persuasion,
And global confusion?
