This day, it feels like I am going traditional
All this while I've always done the magical
Its feels, it kills , and thrills me
Even when my body is in pain, your soul , drills me
And it always soothe when I say '' KE A GO RATA ''
My heartbeat goes faster
And if feel locks on my head like a rasta
When the skies are built in lies
When the evening is green in styles
It feels so good to say '' KE A GO RATA ''
Even when your mind is set in doubt it doesn't matter
When the earth is dark in gloom
When a grenade rocks like boom
Its fine, if I whisper KE A GO RATA

KE A GO RATA means I love you in Nigerian language  :-)
If life was a painting
I'll be the artist of my happiness
Painting sweetness
To my path that may be filled with bitterness
Carving perfection to the part of my life with flaw

If life was a painting
I'll be adding colorful strength to my arms
Anything I am fainting
I'll be the architect of bountiful health
I'll paint myself an overflowing wealth

If life was a painting
I'll have the vision to see my fate
I'll always paint myself a golden plate

If life was a painting
Then my moments of joy would never end
I'll paint enough money so I'll never have to lend
I'll make my world brand new
So I'll never have to mend
I'll have plenty instead of few

If life was a painting
I'll be living in a palace with colorful chandeliers
I'll add a red pinch of lip stick to the lips of my wife
I'll paint myself another life
Even when death takes my breath away

If i cook the oceans
And freeze the seas
If bring butterflies out of my hat
And rabbits of the skies
If i be a light to brighten your day
Will you stay ?


Will you stay ?
If i use my tears to paint an image of you
Use my heart to make you heart beats
Burn you warmth anytime your hands are cold


Will you stay ?
If i kneel on the floor
Will you open that door
And never remember everything we want to have


Will you stay ?
If i put a knife in my lungs
Just to show
The air i am breathing is you


Will you stay ?
If i kiss the sun for you
Even if i burn

Will you stay ?
If i make the rain
Fall under us
If i make the skies snow
When it shines
Will you stay ?

A time in life will come
When breast milk will cease
And maturity begins to increase
When you will fight a fight and make up before the night
When your young age will show innocence
When your body starts showing Adolescence

A time in life will come
When you want to enjoy the sweet things of being young
You are strong
And your hormones are taking your decisions
When you become stupid
Due to the love of cupid
When you see the right track
But **** the world
You want to enjoy the wrong things
the right things seems so terrible

A time will come
When you are forty
Maybe still single
Used, dumped, hurting and regreting
Lonely
Cold
Pained

A time will come
When you count your mistakes
And there is not a single blessing

A time will come
When wrinkles will replace your dimples
When that beautiful bubbling breast
Will become a lonely desert

A time will come
When life becomes vanity

A time will come when you cant even see the sun again
Or hear the rain...

Bumble bee
You buzzed into my life
And everything i used to be
Became so sweet like a mermaid at sea
You made everything fadeless
You wrote rhymes into me like a poem
Played my heart like a musical notes
Set my heart ablaze
And left me dazed like a youth who is Crazed

Bumble bee
You occupy space
Though you wrote my agony in syllables
You make me describe your absence in parables
You wrote your name in my heart
Now i bleed blue
I bleed you
If i choke on love
I'll need you
But every time i look
You're gone
Gone and left me like a stream flowing in tears
Bumble bee
You promised to Blossom
I let your flower grow in me
I kept you in my *****
So you can bloom
The love was there
But you never had time to see
I planted my emotions right into you
Even though i can't mend my heart
With plastic tapes
I'll sit here and wait
So one day you can come in to stay
Forever with me

Boo...
You left my garden without flowers
Left my face in tearful showers
Make the minutes seem like hours
You made it gloomy in the skies
Made me bereft of smiles

Boo...
You left when my future seems brightest
Said goodbye
When our love seem sweetest
Only that you refused to say,
when what we had
Became tightest

Boo...
You made me feel the feelings of feeling a mutual feeling
You made me watch the seas
Wishing you could appearing by me
So we could lay on the sunset,
till the sun decides to die

Boo...
If you have gone with the seas
My tears
Can sail a ship
Only If I would find you again

Joey Percival Ikechukwu
They say we need to hope
Well I am living for now
And praying for a favorable future...

angel, every smile i see
my heart keeps swimming like the sea
Every look i take
I wish everyday with you i'd wake
Every minute i breath
I know we're distantly close

Darling
You are a canoe with the spark of a rainbow
You're a kingfisher with the beauty of sparrow
You're a dew in a misty meadow
You're a knight that pierced my heart with an arrow

Sweetheart
We're distantly close
We're in love and the heaven knows
We may be poor like farmers without hoes
But we're angels with cherubic goals

Honey
We're wealthy without money
Its raining but our lives are bright and sunny
At morning we're never mourning
We in love, but our affection is still running

Baby
Permit me to kiss
Those lips that make me miss
Let me pull a chair
And lets breath without air
Hold your hair
And wake up when the sun is fair

i really love his poem...
If I was a magician
I'll be perfectly poised like an Indian
Build castle in the air so I could live like a king
Dress like a rose on a sunset beach
Build bridges so I can touch things I could never reach

If I was a magician
I'll look like the pyramids of Egypt
I'll make ponds in the desert
I'll play the piano like Mozart

If I was a magician
I'll live, never to die again
I'll be young never to be old again
I'll sit on the skies and watch it rain again

If I was a magician
I'd make my father live again
I'll make my woes crush like grain
I'll wake up a beggar, always a prince forever

If I was a magician
I'll make it shower in joy
I'll make it thunder in the city of troy

If I was a magician
I'll make you my umbrella
So I'll smile anytime it storms

Why
Why is it blue in the skies
And the night times are filled with cries
We fall in love with the sweetest thing we've seen
And they erase and go away like the wind
What is our sin ?
If we keep our faith on God
And we still see our tears gushing like the sea

Why ?
Why do we build sand castles to live in
Only for it to rain and wash it away
Why do we never grow old with good things

Why ?
Why do we have to give our hearts
To the wrong people
And the right people exists
When we make the decisions to stay happy
Only to build an empire of tears

Why ?
Why do it have to hurt to get to you
Why does it have to be bottles
Everytime agonies sounds like melodies...

Calm
Like a forest dam
Like a bread and jam

Her eyes are like green plants in midsummer
Her hair are like the golden petals of a chrysanthemum
Her skin is a lily
Pelt from a flowering plant

She's a gold fish
With fins so trikish

Her smiles
Are like a cruze in a sunset beach
She's calm like the pleasant water fall
That makes the earth stands tall

She's like a warm silk
She's like cotton
She's ever green
Never forgotten

She's hot like the sun
And calm like you have never burn

NATURE GIRL
She's

Break me apart
Or put my heart in chains
Make my eyes break down in
tear
You can throw my feelings in
the mud
Spill your pain in the rain
Yet my love for you is
unconditional
You may have been broken
Your happiness may have been
stolen
Your body may have been
ripped apart
And your heart is determined
To reject
Yet my love is unconditional
Your skin may be black
White or pink
You may wear a rag
Or wear a diamond robe
You may be drenched in pain
Or filled with sweetness
Yet my love is unconditional
