A brush with death
The air begins to leak
Inevitably,
During a brush with death
We are unable
But beckon for breath
Running from rest we seek.

Like tall palm trees
The journey began as a joke
Till giant strides together yoked,
And there we stood, exchanging vows
Inner me smiled, exclaiming; wow !!!
Like a palm tree gallantly firm
Amidst the dust, and in the storm
Growing so tall, far from a fall
Never scared of heavy down pour
Instead making rich palm wine sap
And thick red oil that never slaps
May we never be affected
By seasons, no matter how red.

Sonnet: The homily of family
Friends have turn necks
As storm comes to wreck.
If not you, then who,
Do I reach out to,
In times, I am low,
That will still follow.
I really love you
Oh yes, it is true
This is gratitude
Not a platitude.
Every word said
Can be repeated
As a homily
We are family.

Vinify: Goodwill Message
Oh we wanna thank y’all
For putting smiles on our face
For giving our slide a wedge
Without you, it would be flaw.
Y’all must have seen the ducks
Swimming over dirty muds
Swimming with no drop of sweat
Like victory comes out of luck.
But underneath the surface
Are their webbed feet paddling
Relentlessly to succeed
Yet such, shows not on their faces..
Y’all have been those webbed feet
Great foot soldiers, taking all
For our day to have a lift
Thanks, for making us stand tall.

Tone: Serene love
All birds love to listen
To their selves singing
Sweetly as they fly,
That the Satan cries.
The gospel truth, is that
Have heard many songs
But none as intense as
The sweet serene songs she sings.
Jealous is of the birds
For my baby girl
Shows the best love display
True and no delay.
She handles with kid gloves
My soft heart and soul
Times may come cruel and rough
But, her love is always enough.

Prayer to my Guardian Angel
Nothing is hidden
Under the Sun
I know you see all
My crimes and my flaws,
Am only human
Like one, I err.
I might have uttered
Tonnes of wrong words
Am on a chopper
In dimming skies
Turn not your lights off,
The world is dark.
My Guardian Angel
Please guard and guide
Leave me not alone
All on my own
There are Devil’s snares
Am so unsafe.

You are not Angel Michael
You are not
God or Michael
The War Angel
Respect tradition
Kola nuts served
Must be waged with funds
Palm wine in keg
Is specially served.
For every black
Dwelling on this land
You must have heard
Of covens and shrines
Simple advice
On supernaturalism
You may believe
Stories, you wish to
But don’t dare
The fallen angels
Nor try to chase
The Devil from hell
Run from trouble
Do not be the fool
That rush in where
Angels fear to tread.

Sonnets: Running ruined
Most times we try
But the discomfort
Comes to hunt us
With inflictions.
Pain in the ass
Break hearts like glass.
I know it is
What we stave off.
Yet it blesses us
In big disguise.
So why not bear
Until it fades
Bringing bright shades
That gladdens hearts.

Isabella
Isabella
Isabella
Isabella
Whose sperm and egg
Formed your straight legs
And goodie bag.
Cracking the nuts
Your beauty hunts
Inside of it
Blacks do not crack
You never lack
Beautiful marks.
Isabella
Isabella
Isabella
You are pretty
That your beauty
Breaths life to death…
You are so rare
A pretty gel
Lips of Angels
And your dentals
Are so intact
Perfect in racks.
Isabella
Isabella
Isabella
You have this charm
Infectious smile
That takes to miles
Infatuations.
And the passion
In your fashion
Makes many man
Come to Milan
Lust as your fan.
Isabella
Isabella
Isabella
What will beauty
Look like without
You in its vault.
Perfect and fit
You are complete
With half moon lips,
The snow white teeth,
Infectious smile,
And pretty eyes.

Sonnets: Why envy mine
Because I spark
You gather smokes
To dim my light
Whereas the sky
Has lots to share
In cloaks of light
Bright and clear.
Plane not a bird;
Yet, you still try
To pull me down.
Whereas the sky
Is big enough
For all of us
To roam and fly.
