A Cherry blossoms in it's time
It's a beauty of times and seasons
But yours is ageless and timeless
Like a dazzling mirage.

Atmospheric conditions changes
As by-products of optical illusions
Like the moon usually waits
To reflect the glory of the sun
But yours is not serendipitous
Your spark is programmed to shine till fade

Mojekwu's probability can be biased
The urn can be unfavourable to a ball
But the ***** in your eyes are blazing
They tell the story of beauty with brains

The reflection from that BMW
That shone across that chariot
Owned by that Happy
A Pharmaceutical colosus
Revealed your perfect dentition
The type found on enchantresses

If the world goes numb
Your voice will be all that is needed to hear
If the lights world over goes off
The sparkle in your eyes
Will be all needed to see

When meeting friends
You always know the beginning
Not the end
That is how Divinity programmed life
Even Augusta can attest to this

The refraction of light
Blazing from the heated skies
Have all pledged their loyalty
To you, a beauty Queen
The way other principalities
Bows to the presence of a Lioness

This work, written from the purerst of heart
Is just to let you know that
If i were an ocean
You will be my only pebble
If i be an Accountant
You will be my only Audit
If i be a Pharmacist
You'll be my only medicine

Someone tell me this is not real
Before i wake up from my slumber
That a dazzling mirage
Somewhere in her sacred heart
Smiles at an Author and a Life Coach
Whose pen is worthless
Without her "Yes"

Are you free today?
Before boredom overwhelms me
Can you come over?
The line went dead and silent
Until I heard the tiny voice
"Ok", give me a little while

Quickly I arranged my bed
My accessories imprisoned by dust
Finally, they got their freedom
With a sparkling new look
I changed the ambiance
With a nice and sweet spray

Waiting can be so long!
I felt like I've been waiting for years
The clock suddenly became slow
I followed all the tick tock
Till I heard the doorbell rang
Yea, who is it? Like I never knew

I suddenly became a stutterer
How can God package so much in one vessel?
I never knew i could be this courteous
Thank God only my shadow witnessed it
When she called my name
The truth, I died…..

Slowly she walked in like an Angel
Can I sit down she asked?
Yes, I am fine I answered
Then suddenly my brain came to life
She asked to sit
Yes please, I said to this damsel

Suddenly, I noticed a slight bulge
You will not put me to shame
You this shameless generator of generations
Quickly I made to arrest it
With my Christmas denim pant
And a tight faded jean

As she settled into the couch
That was the last thing I remembered
My mind traveled all over her
Her presence filled the house
She must have been curated on a Monday
After God finished creation on Sunday

So, what is going on with you?
Obviously, she was in the driver's seat
How can she bring the game to me?
Yet, I lost my composure
In my very own comfort zone
Never joke with the power of a woman

Can I share your seat?
She smiled, beckoned with her index finger
I quickly sank into the chair
To my amazement she was calm
She mildly held and stroked my hands
If this is a dream, please Lord, I don't want to wake up

At close range she could hear it
As my heartbeat raced faster than Michael Phelps
Come to Mummy she said
Without hesitation I moved like thunderbolt
Sank into her sweet arms
Then she planted a forehead kiss

As dawn drew closer
I found courage to ask
Please, will you stay over?
I could feel a crack in my voice
Seductively she smiled and retorted
No Sweety, I wish I could!

Why wouldn't she just stay?
My heart said from the inside
When the hour finally came
Together, we walked quietly
Goodbye my lover
Silently, I wished the day never ended

From his lips escaped thefeelings
He expertly hid in his heart
How he so treasured them
They were a part of his story

A breezy night it turned to be
A day she told me about that guy
She was drowned in his ocean
But still, I could feel her hurt

I wonder what spell he cast on her
I can still recall the statement
"His smile melts my very bone"
This, made me shiver

This strange guy I never met
Seemed to have captured her world
"I can never be with him"
Those words were soothing

But then I understood her hurts
She had carried it for years
Like a plaque on her breast
But, can she still love me?

Let's go there
After a visual massage
My vision became blurry
The way you swayed
And smelt
It will take a god to say 'No'

Let's go to sin city
Throw caution to the wind
While emotions run high
Let's form Adam and Eve
For between those two poles
Lies the peak of enjoyment

Right now I am drolling
When I close my eyes
Your are the one I see
In your natural state
Imagine you were here
All I ask is to be your barber
Let me help you carve down there

Right about now
Nothing else matters
I just want me in you
And you in me
Then let out those sweet murmurings
Which becomes music to my ears

How long do I wait?
Patience is a virtue
But I loose it on your sight
Non can stop the Sun's light
Neigher can any cover the glory of the moon
Not even when you are clad
Your beauty lies within

As you read these lines
Just know that I am right here
Fiddling with my pillows
Wishing you were here
That I may show you love
Which comes from the purest of hearts
Right a cross the Savannah
But yet, still I wait...

Falling down a slippery *****
Moving from the south to the west
And there you are my love
Your arms wide open
I just need to fall in your hands
Then, together we fall to the ground
Kissing and rolling together
Until nature takes us west
It was cold and lonely
Even though we ended up east
For us, it was the beginning
A new dawn that will last till fade

...dear lover,
If I say I love you
Jesus will die again.
Love! - It once existed

If I say you are my fantasy
Eros will be a child of light
Fantasy! - now devoid in my world.

If I say you are my dream
Morpheus will laugh in his sleep.
Dream? - Now void and empty.

...dear Lover,
Once upon a time,
I was your goddess,
Was I not your world?
I was your universe
Even though you called me your life.

Now, reality has struck
I lay alone on my couch
Left only with memories.
Memories now dreams.

When I was weak
Vulnerable and helpless
Instead of being a rung
You became an instrument
An incarnate of the devil
You abused me...

Instead of being a god
A mentor i can look up to
As much as I respected you
You bullied me
Stole my pride and confidence
I was down and out

I almost quit school
I was afraid to speak
For the fear of you
You caged my destiny
You and your unholy allies
Thank God I didn't join a rival gang

For years I suffered
I was broken emotionally
I died before I died
I almost took the only option
At least I will be free from all
Until I saw a light

Years after I look back
You ended up a non-entity
You didn't make it to the top
You and yours are now history
You threw stones at me
With them, I built a fortress

It's easy to forgive you
Even as you almost took my life
But I got the conviction
You were only reacting
Because I was better than you all
You all but me knew it, didn't you?

I discovered the me in me
You were an instrument
That the enemy chose
To derail my glorious destiny
But God had a plan
He allowed it for a purpose

You attacked my destiny
Because I am ahead of you
That is how God programmed it
Whom HE has blessed
Not even you can curse
So, like my Father, I forgive you

I pray you find peace
Repent of all your atrocities
That you may lead a good life
And raise a good home
And inspire your world
Just ask, HE will forgive

Are you worried or challenged?
Are you a subject of mockery or gossip?
Have you been slandered and maligned
Don't worry, HE is taking you somewhere
Just be calm, watch and pray
The One that created sleep never sleeps

I am glad I passed through them
Lifes challenges and fire
The brimestones and cruelties
But I survived them all
Because I have a vision
And my mission is clearlydefined

To all going through hell
Keep going! You will triumph
Don't pray away challenges
Ask for the grace to surmount
No student gets promoted without exams
Am I loud enough!

While you keep on
Beware of destiny killers
They come as unfriendly friends
They are visible in family
Worse in religious houses
Basking in the altar of hypocrisy

I am a survivor
I won by keeping my focus
I believe in your ability to triumph
Please don't let you down
I will see you at the top
The rightful place of giants
