My Dearest Olurounbi..

Your love and your friendship
Two of a kind that keeps m y heart yearning
Of the kind of bliss they bring into my life
Are like nothing else
Compared to all I have ever known

Thoughts of you make me whole
The love we share
And how it grew at every leap
Making my sky blue always

I love you
Thousands of words
Would not suffice
Because in you
I found my everything,

Your joy was my strength
Your every smile, my every triumph
All of a kind of memory
Still locked in my head

You will always be that woman
My eternity woman
Who formed a part of a whole

Beautiful as you are..

Beautifully and wonderfully made

You brought me into this world

With cries from my little eyes

Announcing my birth

You brought me to life...

You knew my name

You could count my hair

I felt unsafe in a new world

But you protected and shielded me

As days drifted into weeks and

Weeks into months

You gave me wisdom

You gave me understanding

You taught me how to speak

I grew up knowing the world

The love,the hate that exists

In it all,you asked me to choose

You gave me judgment

Judgment to make my own choices

As the days drew by

Growing and learning

I learned about you

The awesome God

My folks taught me about you

Gave me hope and a vision

They made me see

That you alone were worth trusting

When life's mysteries abound

I heaped all my burdens on you

Never was disappointed for once

You loved me with an unequaled love

Blessed me and cared so much for me

None like i ever had from my folks

You made me see every new day

Could have been dead

Could have been forgotten

But through the turmoil

You saw me through all

Now in my youth

I look back on my life

With strings and harps

Cymbals and drums

I say thank you Father

For loving me so much

REMINISCING.

It’s been a long time coming and still im yet to get my acts together and face the reality that you can’t be mine. I have said and overtly made myself abundantly clear times without number that you and I no more share that world we built in the past but try as I may it just never stops coming back. All the good times we shared, all the love and all the affection. Pray, what is it that I see in you that can’t make me look away. Inspite of all, I still want you back knowing how much I can’t have you back because you belong to another man. Times are hard and indeed traumatic for me but until I find the one, who would bring that long sought happiness that I always craved from you, here is hoping that you know that you will always live on in my heart…

Thinking Aloud!

Its 0213 hrs in the morning and im here thinking and pondering to myself --unable to sleep. You ask me why and the best answer I can come up with right now is that I have questions, questions weighing heavily on my mind, looking and waiting for answers that have been reclusive but anyways, what is the source of my worry I hear you ask again?
The question on my mind is," why is it that the ones we love most are the ones who hurt us the most" and the other one is, “why do we hurt those we love the most”. Why is it that our hearts are so full of good intentions but then we never get around in such a way as to express our love and portray our real intentions in the most altruistic way? Why is it that we seem to love hard one minute and the next minute we tend to fight really hard and fall out of love. I have tried asking myself so many questions yet im still in this dumb state trying to figure what really causes these nerve breaking arguments, the bitter pains and the excessive blame games? Why do the ones we love most always arch upon our vulnerability and turn round to stab us? We open up all our hearts in sincerity but what do we get? Can it be true that we want or expect too much or that we're easily pushed to the edge because we can’t contain our women’s excessiveness, wants and desires? Or is it that we tend to be abrasive when we ignore or look the other way when they come with their many worries, poking their noses at us like a parrot that has eaten too much pepper? A world of worries you’d say but I need and want answers.
Sometimes I tend to think that as a guy maybe we're misunderstood and misinterpreted in portraying our true sense of nature or that the fact that we know that the ladies we are with know our weakness and may likely harp on them keeps us on the brink, always trying to put up a fight to hide our “supposed weaknesses” and suffer our pain in silence. I have lots of worries which are begging for answers now and soon too. Will somebody please help!

I speak Life!

The mountains are high
Far above any’ reach
They stoop
Yet are unable to catch a glimpse
But in my world

You gave me a key
To unlock the secrets
That lies beneath the highs
Power in my tongue
To speak and To break
The yokes
with
The words of life
That souls do resurrect
Once dashed asunder

My Misery!

Why are my eyes
So stymied
Unable to see
From beyond
Why do I continue
To grope in the dark
Moving aimlessly
Like a rudderless ship
With a lost compass
I have prayed
Still, unable to see
Cuz my eyes are taped
Pray,
I don’t want to be here
Crawling with snail’s speed
When others
Already dashed the line
I found my voice
Or so I thought
Why then
Am I still beaten
Unable to tell
What light I see
Is this black or white
Can’t even tell no more
From my lackluster eyes
God, I need you
My strength is drained
And daily my cup overwhelms
I’m down to nothing now
Are you going to always watch me
As I go down this path…

This one too shall pass...

It won’t be long
For I have been holdin on being strong

Baby, will you save that last dance for me
When all dim out on me
Will you be there when my worries surge
Before I finally cave in
Being a man takin all in my strides

It won’t be long
Cuz I can’t take this any much longer
Driving me to insanity everyday

It won’t be long
Before my bones
Begin to squeak within me
Because no one sees my cry
Gorged from their sockets

All they see is a shadow of me
Already running into an eclipse…

Ode to MaMa

To the many mothers out there staying strong on the home front and keeping the homes in times of challenges, difficult times and rough weathers, tendering to the kids and their needs and instilling hope and discipline into their lives...this is for you
Too many times you have gone unappreciated. Sometimes, molested and taken for granted. Still, in the thick of your own problems your still filled with an inner strength understood by very few. Your abiding faith, love and understanding in times of turmoil and tribulation is worthy of mention always.

Everyone comes to your shelter for love. The kids and their fathers all wanting to be love and in the face of your own constraints, drawn from a weakness within, you still have your arms open...Flung open showing some more affection. Never tired of those complaints..Never tired of the kids..Never tired of their dad and the many bickering brought upon day to day.
You get the blame each time something goes wrong with the kids. Their failure is your headache and their success your joy. While the man is out on the turf, your there at home preparing his meal, washing his clothes and preparing the kids for school and impacting on their lives. Your always there to fulfill the earthly desires of the man, making him happy in bed even when sometimes you feel your being raped.

You’re the rock that stands by every family without which there wouldn’t be anything called a home. Your admonition to the kids helps them pull through life at all times. You are always there gidi-gba like an unshakeable rock taking the kids through each step at making them kno God, how to distinguish good from evil, giving them hope for a better future if only they dared to dream.

Mama, I don’t know where I would have been today. I don’t know what my life would have been without you. It is true for my life. I have seen and counter seen why they say mothers are irreplaceable. I have only come thus far in my life ONLY with God’s help and your unshakable faith, strength, believe and resolve in me..I don’t know what I coulda give..but on this day ..I just wanted to let the world know..that no one..no one ever can ever make me feel this way..I’m so grateful for you love.

Mama..I love you…

tHE pRAISES of THE moST hIGH GOD....iM So LOvINg yOU baBA

Just cant get my mouth off the praises of this so so wonderful God who has given me everything yet asked for nothin..There's nothin that i can ever give that can be worth a fraction of your blessings, a fraction of your love and compassion towards me..Really i dont know what to give and i just wanted to look for a way to praise you..just to say thank you..thank you for everything you have done for me and still continue to do..Lord ,you rock my life..you always do...

p.s...For my peeps who dont understand or cant read what this is all about..im truly sorry..just wanted to do these praises from my roots (The Yoruba Culture).. .I hope you truly understand...

Unfaithful...

In the still of the night
I heard a voice
Coming from a corner
By a creature
In the form of an angel
I panicked
Buried in my fright
And shaken to my foundations
I thrust my body on the floor
Shaking,
Screaming and weeping
Aware of my filth
Brought to daylight
By the brightness of
This creature
Like a video
I saw a life in replay
All my atrocities
My unrighteousness
My unfaithfulness
All recaptured in scenes
On a mega screen of life
All around me
Were people writhing in pains
Some scorned..Some distraught
All had garbs on
Clothed in sin
There in a distance
I saw him
Unsure, I asked
My head bowed
As he read from that book
Asking me why
He said, “But I gave you all”
Multiple chances..he said again
And then
He looked away
In my mysery
I cried and cried
And then he looked at me again
Compassion in his eyes
He said to me
… “Son, I warned you but you wouldn’t listen”
Then he flung his arms open suddenly
Roared so loud
Fire gushing out of his mouth
And nostrils
Then he looked at me again
And said
“If I were to count the sins of men,who shall stand”
His eyes shone with grief
In my shame, I hid my face, my head bowed
He looked at me one more time
And said
“Son, you are forgiven..go and sin no more”
