AM. WAS. BEEN.
Dada Olowo Eyo Aug 2019
The sun shines on my emotions,
Having gone through your dark tribulations,
Everything meaningful became useless,
But it all made sense, this avoidable mess.
434 · Feb 2013
The merry times
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
The lights will never go dim,
Birds never stop tweeting,
Love will find you a sweet thing,
And health will complete this awesome team.
happy birthday, Busayo

TROUBLE. (4).
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2021
Every woody green is as the one before,
Going round in circles, roundabout,
She wanted to be the lead actor,
In a tale her character was written out.
Nigeria struggles with the demons that she let out herself.
432 · May 2013
Brown Brown.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2013
She smells like chocolate,
Like lovely, dark chocolate,
Yes, my taste buds can relate,
To this sweetness nobody can hate.
432 · Apr 2013
The Burden.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2013
I bear this terrible pain,
Hanging like a terrible yoke,
I cannot see through this ****** pane,
Fate, it has dealt me, this unfortunate stroke.
430 · Jun 2014
MAAJO, MAAYO.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2014
Odoodun l'a r'omo obi l'ate,
The sun shall rise above you on the next,
Alahurabi ko ni se e li agutan, pa'so esi da,
Eat, be merry, age is but a number.

Why Marry? (Part 1)
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2013
Endless nagging,
Her cold tongue wagging,
Never stops wanting,
Always, daily, asking.
426 · Feb 2013
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.
Lovers' day 2013
425 · Jun 2013
Power...holding.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2013
Illuminated, only, by a white line of led,
I toss and turn, on the damp bed,
Because the light people prefer solid darkness,
And outside, all there is, is perfect stillness.
424 · Nov 2015
HOME.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2015
Familiar cocoa trees, carpet grass and banana,
Mango, orange, and good old papaya
Shady cool to roam and play,
And assurances of warm love everyday.
424 · Feb 2013
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 :)

THE MAN FROM OTUOKE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
The minority lays the golden egg,
And one waddles into Aso Rock,
The crows are on edge,
Threaten to peck him out in a one-way truck.
423 · Mar 2013
The Fool.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2013
Perfect emotional decoy,
And you fell so gullibly,
You became her willing toy,
To be used, and discarded, ever so terribly.
422 · Jan 2015
PURGE THINE SELF.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
A dozen laxatives,
To flush your stupidity,
And no sedatives,
To ease your depravity.
420 · Oct 2013
Talk-Her-Tiff.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2013
She talks up a storm,
And scratches like a tom,
First time I saw her,
I knew we would never be at par.
420 · May 2013
Day Six.
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2013
Liberation glittered on the horizon,
My head pounding crimson,
I could see through the tunnel,
As I floated down the funnel.
Tomorrow ends the beginning
418 · Apr 2013
HATE
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2013
Death's too much a luxury,
Alive, suffer and gnash your teeth,
Enjoy the wealth of penury,
Wishing yourself hell, whenever you breathe.
414 · Nov 2015
DISHONOURABLE MEN.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2015
Beady eyed devils,
The very spawns of hades,
They come in bloodthirsty shades,
Like troubling, annoying canker-weevils.
411 · May 2023
HAAAAA! DADDY!
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2023
Tragedy struck the day,
Death stole you away,
From our lives forever,
To see you, again, never;

But only in my dream,
Our conversations stream,
Yet they feel ever so unreal,
How, how will I deal?

Now seven years gone,
The sadness still weighs a tonne,
Try, and I do, to make light,
But see the tears I fight;

Sleep on dear father,
And say hell to our mother,
The days will be long,
Yes, as I try to stay strong.
It's been seven years my father made his way back to his maker. It's a burden I'll live with, finding strength in the lessons that he left behind.
410 · Jun 2019
ROTTEN.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2019
They had the luxury,
Of avoiding the unnecessary evil,
But chose to abide with penury,
The height of everything but civil.
The woes of a country must be laid at the feet of her Arrowhead. FACT.
405 · Mar 2015
MOM IN THE WINGS.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2015
Before they come,
Let me clear all doubts,
You'll make a wonderful mother,
So do not bother;

There to welcome each one,
To assure and give you strength,
Will change diapers,
And bring them slippers;

The nights when they bawl and bawl,
Your man will rock and rock 'em back to sleep,
So, earth's incredible little angels' mother,
No worries, they got a super, super father!
Happy Mother's Day to Future Mom, Ms WinkieBoo  <3

Why Marry? (Part 2)
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2013
Face of an angel,
Then he hits me with a cudgel,
Every night is a duel,
Nothing I do, I do well.
399 · Mar 2013
Estelle...
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2013
Now she's gone,
Hopefully, forever,
Love her, again, NEVER!
My turn, to have some fun.
399 · Jun 2021
TROUBLE. (1).
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2021
She drifts atop the slimy waters,
Made bad by years of wickedness,
Clinging to flimsy rafters,
There is no escaping this watery wilderness.
The story of Nigeria is a sorry tale, and only misery loves its own company.
398 · Oct 2018
EMOTIONAL FODDER. (1)
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2018
You give me reasons to hate you,
But I am in love with the mishmash,
Held by the strings of your confusion,
Never, ever, to set myself free.
398 · Sep 2014
GHOST OF INSURGENCY FUTURE
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2014
Will he arise, another,
To give us a bother?
Will he, now,  be stronger,
And fearlessly move across the border?
397 · Nov 2013
Juggs.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2013
Firm extensions,
Paired confusion,
Throbbing commotion,
****** illusions.
395 · Mar 2014
Blurred.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2014
When love is over the sea,
And it is hard to see,
Reason in letting burn,
Feelings for a one long gone;

Even with shut eyes,
And these are no lies,
I behold you,
Glowing in colours fine and true;

But time has worn thin,
That special thing,
For a while, we both shared,
But never said, how, we truly cared;
394 · Apr 2014
BIG.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2014
These curves are me,
They please you, or not,
Every voluptuous piece of me,
Will make you grunt.
394 · Mar 2013
PULSING!
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2013
Turn the lights off,
It's time for blind erotica!
Lay, here, on the cold formica,
Won't stop, even, when you've had enough.
393 · Jul 2015
WE WEAR SKIRTS.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2015
Don't put me down,
Because I'm female,
Don't tear my gown,
Because you're male.
392 · Sep 2014
AHH...MAZING.
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2014
Has beautiful another description?
Doth thine form require new naming?
Such magical framing,
Graceful, sublime, in fluid motion.
392 · May 2013
SWeet! SWEEt!!
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2013
I smelled a flower,
It reminded me of you,
The well-formed petals were wonderful,
And the aroma, made me, want to have, a shower.
391 · Feb 2013
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.
391 · Feb 2013
Esters
Dada Olowo Eyo Feb 2013
Spoiled by father,
Now, I'd not feel any better,
No, not until I wear this scent,
Even if it cost me a ****** cent.
388 · Jan 2015
ON MY KNEES DOST I PRAY.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
My heart yearns for thee,
Oh, my lady of verses,
Take me in our warm caresses,
Now, lest my feet doth flee,

I find in thee passion,
A burning desire,
Ten times stronger than the most potent love potion,
It consumes my heart and sets me afire;

Praying, I beg thee my lady,
Deny me not for this is beautiful,
It is intoxicating like fine brandy,
Take it away, then fall I, badly, into dark sorrow's pool.
387 · Jan 2015
THE TIRE IN THE EYE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jan 2015
Puffy and red from boredom,
Visual aches from endless rotation,
Politics in Nigeria is base,
This way or that, a hopeless case.
387 · Apr 2019
OPERATION CAT RACE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2019
But the rats still give a fuss,
Vermin in defiant show of force,
Too fat to lift a claw,
Did you manicure that paw?
The Nigerian security agencies are in the habit of tagging their intervention operations in the most colourful ways. But hardly produce results akin to these appellations.  SHAME.
381 · Nov 2013
Caught.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2013
The moon was crescent,
Shining on the lake,
It's a chance I must take,
With you, my heaven sent.
381 · Jun 2013
Vertical.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2013
My mind's made up to succeed,
Although my heart flutters,
Excellence is my daily creed,
I beat it ever so loudly, up, unto the rafters.
381 · Jun 2013
First Best.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jun 2013
Nobody smiles at failure,
It is loathed, despised and cursed,
Everybody longs for a future,
Celebrated, envied and embossed.
381 · Mar 2013
Mother of mine.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2013
The days we had nothing,
We went to bed smiling,
Never did you make me feel unwanted,
Thanks, mummy, heaven's most blessed.
Happy Mothers' Day
379 · May 2017
THE BABY BLUES
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2017
Then mother holds me close to her *****,
Says soothing words I come to recognise,
Prays I may live to blossom,
And find this world friendlier than nice;

It is then I gently open my ****** eyes,
To be shocked by the blinding kaleidoscopic hues,
But mother lovingly sighs,
And joyfully, she sings to me, my favorite baby blues.
378 · Mar 2013
Alone...and Lonely
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2013
Abide with me, my pretty one,
Give breath, to my dying soul,
This pain is taking its toll,
For I fear, the grave, will shut out the sun.
378 · Oct 2022
ON ALL SIDES.
Dada Olowo Eyo Oct 2022
Beaten by nature,
Beaten by fate,
Abandoned by the future,
Shackled by hate;

Everything against us,
Nothing works,
All conspire against us,
Nothing works;

Robbers gain entry,
Ransack our spaces,
With brazen effrontery,
Descecrate our ladies;

Kidnappers abduct us,
Demand huge ransome,
We sell the horse,
But ****, regardless the sum;

Terrorists massacre worshippers,
Leave trails of congealed blood,
Whole families in tatters,
Children cry, "why Lord?!"

Soldiers brutalise,
Intimidate and harass us,
Shoot with evident lies,
Then carry on without fuss;

The police betray truly,
Always hostile,
Never friendly,
Quick to open case file;

The government hate us,
From cradle to grave,
They rob us,
Then force us to behave;

The people, non wiser,
Mob and burn one another,
Rather than bond together,
They allow differences tear assunder.
377 · Feb 2013
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
376 · Sep 2019
TENSION.
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2019
You walked on my love,
And left your magic print,
But nothing has been right,
Since I was broken into pieces.
375 · May 2013
Love! Oh, love!!
Dada Olowo Eyo May 2013
Love is a strong thing,
Mothers labour for it,
Men take the heat,
It defines the human...being.
374 · Apr 2015
I SPECULATE.
Dada Olowo Eyo Apr 2015
Emotions bubbled from deep within,
Several rings had gone unanswered,
Last night we had an encounter,
And tempers flared with oblique profundity;

Is this what I think,
All we had going,
In one grey night,
Lost, and never to be had?
374 · Mar 2021
THE PINCHING SHOES.
Dada Olowo Eyo Mar 2021
Nobody knows, will ever know,
Can only imagine,
The curves that life did throw,
And the response engine;

Live a day, or two,
In my emotions,
And try also, do,
Sleep with the commotions;

Then come close,
To even begin to believe,
That you share a dose,
Of the times that I live.
Nothing makes sense.
