Stars can only be seen in darkness,
A wealthy foundation has nothing to do with greatness,
Love is not completely selfless,
The journey to heaven is not painless.

Nothing is is actually valueless,
the boldest isn't completely fearless,
death doesn't always mean one is breathless,
And Judges are often truthless.

Denial might be an act of pureness,
Rejection a show of kindness,
Speaking up attimes can be senseless,
And a hug does not always represent oneness.

A soldiers retreat doesn't always mean weakness,
An enemy's surrender might be smartness,
A woman's smile may not be happiness,
A child's determination might be born out of emptiness.

Marraige vows are usually baseless,
We are alive because our hearts are restless,
Scientists are mostly clueless,
Psycologists usually feel helpless.

Caring for the poor might be termed madness,
But many wealthy are now homeless,
And even if we're not treated with fairness,
You and i are definitely priceless.
Wrote this ds evening as i took a stroll in a neighbourhood nd watched people who didnt knw dat a stranger came around and was watching their evry move jst to put smtn down on paper.
Up to class all time
Most attimes the hair aint hers
Fancies good places java on to the rest
Prefers a cab and jaj
To cook not maybe to boil bath water and tea
Appreciates other ladies bae' than hers
She has most from her man but needs twice better
At home she is for tv catching up with Kardarshians who never catch up with her
Back in the night Telemundo tales
The late time in bed she whatsapps
Complains He gives no time
Half naked while making visits and gowns while home
Hunny i missed you the time to get some mobile money
Are you a spy in his life
Is that how you treat a bae
* You want favors how many have you done
you like good food why dont you cook it
wanting a bright future yet spending what you have earned.
#make the dream partner of your life build them to be as the best to suckling them from baby to never weening.

Everyday I get garbed,
in different colors nd patterns
My mother, a renowned artist ,
sketches my long and stretched body,
smudging the colors in various blends.
To various complexions I get transformed
On her mood everything depends .
Sometimes into a serene blue shade,
Or into shades too appealing to express.
Attimes im ravishingly groomed with a golden pendant,
Or to even darker shade with  bright glitters ,
That shimmer along the lustrous pearl at the centre ,
For the long night that awaits me.

There are friends who i miss so much,
it's hard to go on in life without thinking of them;
there were days in which we had fun,
so much that these days do not feel the same.

There was a world which i had to let go of,
inorder to really enjoy this new one;
and paths that i left far behind,
in order to make a vital turn.

Although, i don't alway get the company i want,
but i often get the company i need;
even though i get a little bit confused attimes,
i still allow my spirit to take the lead.

If you learn to be alone,
you won't feel too lonely when your friends are gone;
and when they leave-not based on a fight,
be sure that one day they will return.

It could be that they were to busy in search of a better life,
therefore, it is expected that you do the same;
so that when you all come back together to re-unite,
it will be celebration of success without shame.

Be happy if you are still moving on;
Let the pace not be in your feet but your heart,
so that when conditions are good or bad,
you can alway choose to be slow or fast.

Be ready for a change everytime,
for this is exactly what life is about.
and don't remain for too long where you are,
it is best you take a trip from north to south.

We could loose a loved one along the way,
but when they are gone, they ar gone;
And even though we hurt or smile behind them,
come on guys, life will still go on.

Therefore, when a man gets older,
his dependency becomes thinner,
his responsibilities increases further,
while it's expected of him to think better.
Written on my 26th birthday
you are my hope in sight like christ is my daily hope
In many ways i look up to you
i wonder how many times i disappoint your appetite
then each morning you return to have more
Attimes i feel my inspiration to you much as i know it breaks your heart to hear facts all the time
yes i will always blend to give a diversity of digestion but cant change my personality of factual rapture
how i like those smiles in line of appreciation
other times you go silent with hopes of failed faith
see how we get along well, can i preach to you that you are great
And your inspiration too has inspired me to inspire you
fairwell those i go no where
i stand tall to type my minc out till you erupt into good progress
you are amazing and so are you hands
they keep scrolling for my awareness
and your eyes to read history in news
i thank your mind never tiring to analyse and bake you adhere
now i head back to where you always find me
my reading writing friends
my partners in love of mining words to meaning

— The End —
