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 […]

I MISS YOU
I remember the first night we shared As we journeyed that lonely road As the streetlight cascaded your face I knew I was with her, the one I had waited for. “Don’t ever leave me”, I whispered Many nights have passed now And I can’t imagine you not here with me Gosh! I miss you […]
Did you miss me?
Have you missed me? Cos I’ve missed you With every passing day I stood away Away from your smiles, The warmth of your hands as you type your chats The moments we shared kept ringing in my ears Especially Wednesday nights and its stupendous lines I couldn’t wait again to relish the same with you […]
The Frustration
The frustration That makes us lose our inhibitions Trying to meet up with others But often swept under Yearning for our voices to be heard But never making it pass our beards The frustration That makes us ignore our passions “Anything!, just get me out of the backstage” Feeling no shame on our faces It’s […]
