"oyo" poems - Hello Poetry

One day you'd meet love; And you'd know not you've met her- You'd remember the day you felt secure upon her bosoms; The peaceful sound of her breathing heart; You'd remember- The delicate redolence of her favourite eau de toilette; When words brought you confidence- "... You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link; This is but half the truth. You are also as strong as your strongest link." For these and many more you'd remember when love finally leaves. © Valerie-Pearl Oyo.

MEETING LOVE

One day you'd meet love; And you'd know not you've met her- You'd remember the day you felt secure upon her bosoms; The peaceful sound of her breathing heart; You'd remember- The delicate redolence of her favourite eau de toilette; When words brought you confidence- "... You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link; This is but half the truth. You are also as strong as your strongest link." For these and many more you'd remember when love finally leaves. © Valerie-Pearl Oyo.

If Ondo is used for settlers And Ogun is a river Tell me about Oyo, an empire You mispell Gwosh as Jos Recognised Sokoto, a market Far away from Osun, a river Lakes is to Lagos As Kogin is to Kogi And Kebbi is synonymous to Ka'abba Janzama, women power inspired Katsina But Kano was a Blacksmith While Kaduna means Crocodile The people of the golden soils of Jigawa To the river Imo Mmiri They don't speak Gombe at all Take me to the hills of "Enu Ugwu" Following the hills in "Okiti" Without navigating through Iduu All Ebonyi are "Aboine" Close the Delta that marries the atlantic And Oyono, makes you Cross River Don't say Benue, say "Binuwe" Balga, Yelga, Salga formed Bayelsa And I love Kasashen Bauchi "Anyim Oma Mbala kwenu!" But I love ladies from "Kwa Iboe" Only legends understands this Tell them I told you Adamawa is a warrior While Abia is a coinage If I missed your state Go back to the history books This is just a drill...

no day's the same some days you'd awake with agitation and anxiety singing with a fiddle and a drum only you hear some days you'd awake with an unusual and unexpected felicity and when asked why, you'd say 'oh, i awoke on the right side of my bed' some days how you feel would be undecipherable other days you'd question your wokeness when life throws a new day at your face do not stall or growl for she throw at you a priceless chance and what does one do with chances? © Valerie-Pearl Oyo.

SAME DAYS

no day's the same some days you'd awake with agitation and anxiety singing with a fiddle and a drum only you hear some days you'd awake with an unusual and unexpected felicity and when asked why, you'd say 'oh, i awoke on the right side of my bed' some days how you feel would be undecipherable other days you'd question your wokeness when life throws a new day at your face do not stall or growl for she throw at you a priceless chance and what does one do with chances? © Valerie-Pearl Oyo.
