Overwhelmed (3)
The pain of a break up can kill It is lethal, and many never recover Perhaps like an amputated leg Nothing can ever suffice for it Yet more deadly is the bondage of wrong love Like Cancer, It eats you up from within It’s enough to paralyze mentally Like the itsy bitsy spider, it’s failure […]
Horror Films versus Romance Movies
One of the reasons I don’t see horror and too gory actions movies is that I have seen enough horror in my life to add more to it. From a child… I’ve seen men beat their wives and vice versa I’ve seen parents ignore their children I’ve seen children set their parents up I’ve seen […]
On Nigerians and their Sympathy for France.
There are two kinds of people. One that do good only because good was done to them. Another that do good irrespective. And I’m so glad that Nigeria is part of the latter. It was what made us the ‘Giant of Africa’, if we persist, it will yet make us ‘Giant of the World’ I […]
OVERWHELMED Part 3
#LoveWednesday I wish I could ignore you Turn away when I see you Or act like you don’t exist Like this love is not real But my heart won’t allow Leeping at every sight of you And my spirit won’t let me Burning always from within Even my body has joined Iya Taju ever in […]
Have You Seen YOU?
Have you seen him? The one who forsook wisdom Pledging allegiance to mediocrity Insisting on perishing suddenly Have you seen her? The one who forsook her worth Preferring to die a nonentity Only for half the price Have you see them? The ones who forsook truth Collectively headed for destruction Birds of different feathers dying […]
OVERWHELMED (continued)
…Oh Adeola-mi, I never want to lose you How do I do that? How do I keep you till death do us part? Even those mightier have fallen? I need answers! Maybe I can’t keep you, Maybe I don’t have the capacity to Maybe I can’t hold you close forever, Maybe death is stronger Maybe […]
ODE TO A FAIR SKINNED LADY
#RandomTots (A follow-up on ‘ODE TO A BROWN SKINNED BELLE’) Very rarely will you see such beauty Fair as the evening setting sun Yet, it’s her voice that sets me ablaze A fire that can never be quenched From her first note to the last She evokes feelings of inexplicable melancholy Pardon my over-admiration I […]
OVERWHELMED
#LoveWednesday Suddenly, life happens and you keep wondering How did I get here? Just this last minute we were rejoicing Recounting our love and the next Your heart can’t hold the pain any longer How do we get to that point where our love turns sour? Where our object of joy becomes a […]
ODE TO A BROWN SKINNED BELLE
I fell in love with her The first day I set eyes on her. As I gazed on her body, Her figure eight was exceptional As I laid hands on her, Her hips well tucked under my arms, My hands caressing her, Neck to bottom, I got stucked! Here is where I’ll die, My new […]
JUPITER ASCENDING
#LoveWednesday I just finished seeing the movie ‘Jupiter Ascending’ and it brings fresh feelings of Love. Until now I had a somewhat bad impression about movies that portray love; for my religious mind feels they get a lot of things wrong. Well…I am beginning to see some similarities with what I know love to be…so […]
