Find me amongst the
discarded hearts,
when
your heart
weeps for warmth
Heart
I am all
I am all that you see; I am all.
I am all,
My teeth is white
My skin is black; I am all.
I am all,
My heart is yours
My name is my origin; I am all.
I am all,
As I fall in love with you; I am all.
Kùtí
Naira, Viva Africa
Denomination of the largest
at the lowest
Proudest citizen
gripen by the largest
corruption
Broad-day light
zombie in reverse
rehearse mutiny
Women are my inspiration,
desperation to acquire them all
like a precious jewel
Afrobeat taunts my
heartbeat to the melancholy
melodramatic beat of Fela
Visionary at the expense of aids
Smoke in my windpipe; my
intelligence is ripe
My rough edges smooth from
within
Marriage, an initiation with no
benefact. Tactical act to defy
simplicity of partnership
Marriage, love age like natural
substance with no expiry
Pariah
I’m opening
I’m coming
I’m breaking
I’m broke open,
broken open does
not mean I’m broken.
I open,
I’m hoping
my mind broken; I open,
for opening needs breaking;
my thoughts broken,
my words golden
My spirit open.
Sky & Sea
Nothing compares to the beauty of nature.
The beauty of the sea and the sky, all
wrapped together and given to us,
as a whole served on golden platter.
The sea subdued to our wishes, we sail
and harness all that is good.
The sky
ever changing
ever glorious
ever wonderful
ever magnificent.
Gracing us with its forever
and ever changing display of art.
Even the strongest of heart cascades
at the sight of its sunset.
The sunrise warming even the coldest of soul.
Truly nothing surpasses the radiant beauty of nature,
I simply stand in awe admiration of your beauty as you
inspire me to write this
