SLAUGTHER HOUSE

Tis a slaughter house, ne'er a refuge home
Young and old, they kill our kindred own
Day after day,blood and tears runs like a river
Alas! No stern stance, but asleep our own leader
In luxury of his comfy mattress
Lo and behold our dangling hopeless heads
Craving to see no more massacre
Oh! Heaven we call, bring forth succour
                                     

ASAKE

ASAKE is beautiful
Lo and behold,
the very epitome of a beauteous woman
Cursed with an aspect,
that outshine the moonlight
Yet a magical eyes that arrests souls
Her glossy ebony skin nick away sight
Overcomer breathes no where her beauty tempts
Alas! Asake, flawless but a bilious vixen
The smudge on her sweet perfection.
                              

CARE FOR YOU

I care for you my man
O Ye, I'll do all I can
To hold you for my own
And make your heart my home
Dine along on my platter of gold
As my love for you unfold
Out of the spring of my breast
You shall drink till our breath rest
I care for you my man
O ye I'll more than I can
     

TILL DEATH DO US PART

In your arms
I found peace the most
And miles away from all harms
My life with you I chose
To be with till I wrinkle
And love you till my breath cease
Oh love!, crazy and blissful
You touch my heart with your gentle kiss

I live my life for your love
No one i place above
Undying love kept us thus far
With you I wish not to sever
Together we'll be forever
Till death do us part

             

UNCHANGED

I see with my eyes,
as the season change
Rain comes and go
Sometimes,
the river cease to flow
Leaves dry,
and swept away in wind
cold comes
and makes our lips tremble
And our body craving for woolly cloth
Ye!, Albeit  season change
E'en if your visage with it
My feelings for you remains
Like a thousand year stone
I love you and you're my own

THE WORDS I COULDNT SAY

Oh! what a tragedy
My heart is so heavy
I've been made this way
By the words I couldn't say

I love this dame
But my courage is so lame
To externalise my feeling
Thus I drool like a suckling

I love you,
the word I couldn't say
Hoping she'll see through
and peruse words I want to say

ILL PRONOUNCE HER NAME

I'll pronounce her name, Dunmias
For she came like a messiah
And saved me from perpetual loneliness
That had made me sleepless
Her love for me makes me wonder
Cos she cares like a mother
I know not how I deserve this
With sweet kisses, she Bathed my lips
With her hands all about my neck
My emotions I can no more keep in check
I threw my hands on down her spine
For I know she's mine

NIGHT

Black is the colour of you
Night, that eyes can't see through
You the friend of the wicked soul
Only light's your closest foe

To kill you I hold my touch
And make you bleed in a rush
you go and I shall see clearly
All the parts I stumbled lately

                  

MAN UNDER THE CLOUD

Don't marry him
Everyone's crying it loud
He's not what he seem
The man under the cloud

I want him
But I'm scared
I love him, but about him
Much have been said

He cares for me
In ways I ne'er imagined
He loves me for me
On him, my heart is all enshrined

I wanna carry on
Cloaking all the doubts
Alas! The cry still is on
The man under the cloud

MATANMI (LOVE)

Matanmi, a beautiful dame
With an attraction like a burning flame
Her regalia as white as an alabaster
Her visage sparkles like a twinkling star
Matanmi is harmless
Yet blameless
Blessed with an aura
That brings forth euphoria
Matanmi is peaceful and calm
Talked about in the book of psalm
Matanmi does not despise
Nor possess a haughty eyes
Matanmi cannot kill
But a balm that can ill
Have I said too much of matanmi
She means a lot to me.

Alas! Matanmi is here no more
Taken by an enigmatic carnivore
At the river down the town
The news swamped the town
Soon, rivulet of tears begin to drop
Like eternity, seeming ne'er to stop
My heart became heavy
Oh! What a tragedy
Indeed a tragedy
The whole town is unhappy
Cos Matanmi that holds our town
Could be below the soil now.

So I search, searched for days
With sweat running across my face
Day and night in vain
If only for Matanmi's remain
Thought thorny forest and perilous river
I search, my heart ponder
Is that all about Matanmi
Eh! Wail, oh! Matanmi
Like a withered flower, I dropped my head
I couldn't hide the tears I shed
Will I ever see her again
I weep in excruciating pain
My visage rupture in lugubrious frown
For in vain have I searched the entire town
Matanmi is no where eyes can see
But I believe she is not dead still.

UNCERTAIN

Weary of the morrow
My heart
Abruptly leapt into sorrow
Pondering over the uncertainty
My mind
Utterly bewildered,
Yet unquiet
A gaze at the sun to come
My strength
Wither away like a flower
Under the scourge of sunlight
The morrow is pregnant
Benighted, I know not
The fruit it shall bring forth

WINDY RAINY NIGHT

Oh! What a cold windy night
That heralds the rain coming
Breeze sweeping the ground swiftly
Dark cloud shroud the stars from sight
But the lightening flashes across the sky
Oh! Ye the rain is quickly coming
I can hear from my room
The beating sound of the rain
Over my shelter roof
No sooner, water running along the drain
It's here really, plenty is the pour
Rolling pebbles as I peek on
From my threshold door

My Girl

She nags a lot
Yet, helps my lot
Unknowingly, love erupt
Like a volcanic over a mountain crust

She has my heart
She's the horse that pulls my cart
A beacon that guides my path
May God ne'er draw us apart

DIE AT THE GATE

I know plenty tongues that utter 

It shall die at the gate

It shall swim away like a leaf on stream water

So they say let go now before its too late 

They cry it's a pseudo of what it seems

And she kiss happily a deceitful tongue

Anon, her mouth shall wail and scream

Yet her eyes soaked in tears of wrong

The pain, her heart would not contain

The damage shall reach her marrow

Thus her wholesomeness shall wane

All they utter, an imminent sorrow

Eh! Tongue of the world 

I trample over your utterance

I'll slay you half sans a war 

Neath the auspices of Lord's ordinance 

Nearer, let me whisper to your ear

So you can proclaim to your clan

That gate, it flew over there 

And it shall live a limitless span

Await, you shall learn and tell 

That the aspect of the morrow,

 Not for the mortals to see nor foretell

Sooner, you shall be put to sorrow 

ADEDUNMOLA

Adedunmola mi

Let your ear gbo voice mi

As I wake this morning lati

Eulogise gift ti Olodumare funmi

Eyifunjowo mi akanke

Ko si anyone like you my dear

Arimaleelo, awopadaseyin

Spontaneously, okan mi si to let you in

When you show forth thy good demeanour

Mojogun ife pelu iwa rere na

Iru re po laye but Eni ti yoo se bi tie still

Kosi ni anywhere eyes can see

Monife re pupo

                                          Like I drank wine to stupor 

FORLORN

Gone but here, 

Atop my brooding heart

Far yet near

My thoughts brings her forth 

I miss my dear

And the halcyon days we had

Doughty visage shroud my tears

But lugubrious of countenance 

She severed ties tween us

And loses upon me an unalloyed loneliness 

I became unquiet and broody

Benighted of the path to walk henceforth

'tis loneliness all about me

My heart's desolate and hollow

Abandoned to brood

This, bitterness in my bosom

I passed into slumber at night 

Perchance this feeling will vanquish 

At my wake in the morn

Alas! Forlorn hope, it lingers on

Unavailing my quest for love anew

A damsel with ardour I crave for

To slough off this perpetual feeling

And cast off my woebegone visage. 

IF I WASNT HERE

If I wasn't here 

Perchance I'd be an angel

Looking downward with a pristine stare

Ostensibly, intimately with Gabriel 

If I wasn't here

I would feel no pain

I would breathe sans fear

And fly nude with no shame. 

If I wasn't here 

I won't need a hoe

Nor work my shoulder 

To put grains in my bowl

If I wasn't here

I won't have any foe

Waiting in repose to fleer

When I hit a stone with my toe

If I wasn't here

I would ne'er shed tears

Neither would a dirge pass by my ear

I'll walk the night with no fear. 

If I wasn't here 

The sun ne'er will burn my skin

Nor the rain fall on my hair 

No cold will be felt within 

If I wasn't here

I would never die

I won't have a body you can spear

No hands but wings to fly

If I wasn't here

I would be an angel 

Up high swerving in the sky 

I might e'en be an archangel 

LET THY TONGUE TELL

Oh hear me, ears of the universe

And pellucidly peruse my heart,

With thy plentiful eyes

Spill out thy notion,

outpour thy believe 

With thy telling tongue

Is this love dancing in me?

That I feel empty, yet hollow

The existence of this feeling

I do not know

Could it be love or whatchamacallit 

Not too long her eyes disappeared 

From where it use to meet my eyes

Not too long her glossy tender skin 

drifted away from where it use to grease  

My densely manly skin

Yet it feels like ages, long gone

Since she disappeared before my sight.

I sleep with her, Wake with her

Looking around thereafter,

Oh she's not here

But near the shore I exist, 

where my eyes cannot see

Nor my leg could walk

Amidst multitudes about me

I feel yet so alone, lonely too

That thousand words flew by

My ear couldn't hold any

My heart, I could feel it

Drifting away from the place I exist 

To yesterday before the wave of hands 

Oh ye, that yesterday, the halcyon days

The halcyon day Bathed with smiles 

Kisses and unbreakable nearness

E'en though once before now

In my mind I harbour

Thoughts I'm too strong to feel alone

And only the near vista

Would be painted on my mind

To slough off her existence

Till time pass to see again

Alas! I feel the emptiness 

In the abyss of my soul

Love, is it you?

Eyes of the universe see

Let thy tongue tell
