Let's all sit and eat
The sour meal We ordered.
.
Let's lay aside complaint
For it's use is far passed.
.
Let's pretend like
The sweet smell has not turned offensive.
.
Let's savour this magical meal
That'll transform us in a blink.
.
It's a corruption neutralizer.
Plucked from the very tree of corruption.
.
T'will make us live white.
It's wand transform naira to dollar.
.
I'd never felt the pinch of pain
Until change devoured corruption.
.
Withered,thin and blasted change.
Like Egypt's seven ears of corn.
.
Sit silently Nigeria.
With smiles savour this sumptuous meal.
Oddly, I can’t remember
What I’ve been forgetting
To forget to remember
But surely if it was important
I would have remembered
What to forget...
Right?
Again, retrieved from an old notebook
Maps and compasses;
These will be extra weights.
Just look into my eyes,
As I'm looking into yours...

Lets venture into places,
Within the depths of our souls;
Into a boundless realm
Where none has ever been to...

Lets get lost inside one another
Where we can never be found....
Either ur strong
With long length
Or ur thin and short.
Either or I could
Still cut any length
Of ur life from mine
I'm afraid someday
I'll get tired of trying
you make it so hard
to love you
& albeit I try my best,
each day
that wanes by
my best gets more
and more inadequate

& brings me closer to
that moment I loathe
the moment when I
crawl back to the shell,
that absurd moment
when I give up...*
I love you... but I'm
starting to doubt it means
anything to you anymore
& that doubt hurts me to
the core... I love you but
I hate being unsure...

I Love You
Unrobe me
From my flesh;
Stripped and ripped
Down to my bones,
That I may be as
Plain as this boundlessness.

I render myself,
Just as I am to you;
Solely and wholly
Uncovered and unstuffed,
That I may be the only,
You behold in this moonlit realm.
The rhythm of the burnt pages,
Of the diary of life with no wages,
Pages of old memories,
That you may consider as stories,
Which sometimes ooz tears out of me
That which I wish u knew.

The rhythm of the smokes of the diary,
That which makes me weary,
Putting in you in a dilemma,
A sophisticated dilemma.

Pages that makes me smile suddenly,
But in the aftermath, resulting in a cry,
Then I sit solely,
My tears has not dry,

I might have cried ruining my make up,
Pages in that needs to be burnt,
That which I write every morning when I wake up,
Memories I can't erase, pages that will remain burnt.
