No one will ever know the violence it took me to become this gentle.

In the hush of morning light,
when shadows cling to whispered dreams,
a quiet breath, a stilling sigh,
the world unfolds in silent seams.

Leaves converse in muted tones,
a secret held in every breeze,
as dawn's soft fingers trace the sky,
and silence sets the heart at ease.

Echoes of a distant past
linger in the voiceless air,
a moment wrapped in tender peace,
where quiet lives beyond compare.

In the silent space between,
where thoughts can wander, free to roam,
I find a solace, calm and clear,
a sanctuary, a quiet home.

Peace of mind
Is seldom bought
Nevertheless
A piece of mind
Can be freely earned
Reap as you sow
or not

Demon and stration
Devil in the station
Deemed as action
Dew falls on its portion
So sign social interpretation.
To avoid war of faction
No matter what temptation,
do not cause discrimination.
Remember some diaspora
They played an opera
But we ever played biafara.
Some exiled to Accra
Without eating carbonara
Home is a home, just remember.
Its beauty looks like amber.
It's a steady stand like timber.
It's division divided like a chamber.
If stone throws from north,
the south will set forth.
And if it's from south,
the north will set forth.
Bring peace
Not to piece
But to prease
I asked you please
My fellow
Nigerian

/dAv/
(countable, politics) A person favouring conciliation
and negotiation rather than conflict

Spare no fortune to the worth of
these words- pay attention to details
for the bullseye of love, as a dash and dart
Falling in love, as there are many falling feelings
…brace yourself when the bombs start.

Embrace your frightened eyes; holding
onto the sights of your whole world burning
Choked up on your own words, as when an addict
swallows their cigarette- the smoke that's churning

As I’m in a hell designed by the torture to my eyes
the sight of you gone from my life- after the roles we
played from my thoughts; acts of my mind
My love, there’s no need to tremble and hide, like a bird
that had its nest burnt over. Nestle in my love, and I’ll
wash you so pure with my words- setting you free as a dove

We don’t need to negotiated our love;
making love in peace with a piece of my mind

High on a Mountain
Far Away
Hearts on Fire
As they Pray
All they Perceive
Even Dream
Of Peace and Love
For You and Me.
