Huh, don't know how to word this "
The pace between each link of words in her thorax slackened as she fought the syllables out, clothed in hasty curiosity. She'd been fighting the lofty sentence in her heart to keep still until it broke forth, exploding her tongues in rhythmic syllables, like breath in confetties merged together to make a tumbler of oxygen. She would be glad, yea, she was. Those eating words were out finally, though birthed in a willing reluctance.

Juxtaposition III
I
Her beauty is like the dawn of the day,
Gentle and mild, pricking the strings of hay,
In such melody that outweighs the hearts,
Bewitching all mouths to move in her art.
Even the sun grudge thy lofty beauty,
That she stay awhile, you to keep beaming.
II
Like the ocean in multifacity;
Torpedo like a comet, calm in deal.
Metamorphosing such that none could get
The notion tossed at the humans that begged.
As they ply through knowledge, little they know.
Like this colleen: more...

Juxtaposition II
I
Like the light'ning in crazed velocity,
The dame, swathed in fury, charged at him.
Humiliating his giant courage,
As his soles had the loyal earth betrayed.
Charged she continuously at the baffled,
Veiled to him: the stir of the race battle.
II
Under a cedar tree at noon he sat,
Reminiscing, " What have I done to prompt that? "
Then saw he an aloof folk passing by:
Like the torpedo ignores ships that ply.
Turned on by jealousy, he pursued it.
("Gutsy!") Till he caught up and possessed...

Milk Man
Milk Man
Dripping like the tears of the sky,
Driving its fury towards the earth nigh,
As in a thud kissed the earth;
The spill- beginning of its death.
Then, as the drop of the milk shattered,
There rose a man : by-product of the shattered.
He rose - he alone to live;
Man, the by-product of milk.
19:07:21:17:45
Note: According to the fulani's myth of Creation.

Such Government
They promised us bout phone and mobile,
But how bout network?
They promised us electricity at kainji dam,
But how bout stability.
They promised us bout democracy and independence,
But how bout good governance.
They promised us a cackoo with mutiple colors,
But they came only with its picture.
Pool of water on the tiled street:
Mirage of realism.

Militia
Sure this is genuine? "
The words betrayed his gaze. The former and the latter took choiced turns as the disguisers kept murdering the pace between the geographic setting that held the northern alliance from Shamar's militia.
Their hands were up, bellicose of veiled implications on the part of the northern alliance. That was not as expected. That wouldn't have happened at the sanity of the mental horizon. Something must be wrong. But, what turn the wrong took, none could trace, not even Lambz,the leader of the ODA 596.

Juxtaposition
Beauty is like a foam:
Liquid birthed by bubbles as gas holds.
Large volume of gas in closed-cell,
Extension of odds, as opened-cell.
Three dimensional disordered bubbles,
Clustering clumsily in an enchanted circle.
Ranging from hideous tessellations,
To Pleatue's laws of single-unit cell in perfection.
Picking its limb in the air as in gay:
A jive familiar only to what fantasy has made.
Boasting its elegance, aided by elevation.
Drifting as of a gazelle on a dire mission.
But as the sun take a bold step...

Picking its limb in the air as in gay:
A jive familiar only to what fantasy has made.
Boasting its elegance, aided by elevation.
Drifting as of a gazelle on a dire mission.
But as the sun take a bold step...

Mettle
I'm locked behind the stalwart bars of love,
Like the sinewy, rave and strapping sun,
Hidden behind the shells of outstretched clouds,
Bellowing, in blaring yell to the clouds.
Unlike the sun clamoring for freedom,
Pulling like a surge of torrent, it fought,
Pushing the hung clouds in fright glazed with guts,
As it peep finally, then pitching up.
I'm soothed behind the Corrugate bars:
My freedom from evil outside the bar.
Heartbreaks and denials like callous thugs,
Lifted to pull down emotions with thumb.

I'm Done
I can't love again,
Not because I despise the rain,
That tame nature over and over
Till summer bears her thither.
I can't love again,
Not because I love the sun,
That breaks the rules of the rain,
And gulp her efforts : in fun.
I can't love again
Cos love ain't meant for me,
Each steps towards it flung me back again:
Like the torrent gets from the sniffy sea.
I'm better off in love with love,
Than giving my heart, expecting what will not come.

The Girl Next Door
The Girl Next Door
The baby breeze blew briskly
Like the swiftness of a light limb,
Caressing my lonesome heart,
As it bore her voice nigh: quest of hearts.
I looked through the silk curtain
Obstruenting my view of the silken.
She was in her night gown: cruel bikini.
The swell of her breast, a calling fountain.
I wanted to dash into the waves,
Get locked up in its coziness.
But, she pulled the curtain over again:
The girl next door just never cares.
Return I then to my cushion again...
The baby breeze blew briskly
Like the swiftness of a light limb,
Caressing my lonesome heart,
As it bore her voice nigh: quest of hearts.

Obstruenting my view of the silken.

The swell of her breast, a calling fountain.
I wanted to dash into the waves,
Get locked up in its coziness.
But, she pulled the curtain over again:
The girl next door just never cares.
Return I then to my cushion again...

The Little You can Know
Without form and void,
The world gave a lunatic gaze.
Lack of luminous light love bought,
Darkness did give her a chase.
Open to no one was her,
Water beneath and air above.
Open to someone was the stars,
Lodging in authority's abode.
'Let there be light',
I saw the darkness did flee.
Off they vanished out of sight,
Coupled with unpleasant stuffs I couldn't see.
Her mood changed,
As soon as the light emerged.
With bright and lovely range,
They both adhered to his command.
Trees and seas,...
The world gave a lunatic gaze.
Lack of luminous light love bought,
Darkness did give her a chase.
Open to no one was her,
Water beneath and air above.
Open to someone was the stars,
Lodging in authority's abode.
'Let there be light',
I saw the darkness did flee.
Off they vanished out of sight,
Coupled with unpleasant stuffs I couldn't see.
Her mood changed,
As soon as the light emerged.
With bright and lovely range,
They both adhered to his command.
Trees and seas,...
