Ah do
Yes, I’d love to tell you that I do
And I'd love to make you my boo; without further ado
Through fire and ice; we’ll see it through
A love reborn; both bold and new
Your touch ignites like morning’s hue
A blaze of passion; fierce and due.
No shadow falls where your light grew
The world revolves; yet rests on you.
With every step; my soul imbues
A rhythm synced; to love’s own cues.
The storms may rise; the winds may bruise
But I stand firm; I cannot lose.
Your voice; a symphony that woos
A melody...
And I'd love to make you my boo; without further ado
Through fire and ice; we’ll see it through
A love reborn; both bold and new
Your touch ignites like morning’s hue
A blaze of passion; fierce and due.
No shadow falls where your light grew
The world revolves; yet rests on you.
With every step; my soul imbues
A rhythm synced; to love’s own cues.
The storms may rise; the winds may bruise
But I stand firm; I cannot lose.
Your voice; a symphony that woos
A melody...

Wordsmith
I am the architect of words; a verbal alchemist
Weaving rhymes so seamless; they transcend the mist.
Each syllable I sculpt; a diamond refined
A tapestry of thoughts; the rarest you'll find.
I'm the new age sage; a Shakespeare upgrade
A timeless cascade where brilliance is displayed
A wordsmith supreme; with verses tailor-made
Crafting lines so sharp; they never will fade
I breathe life to letters; make the mundane explode
A master of the metaphor; I decode and reload
Each stanza’s a canvas; each rhyme’s a parade
I'm the...

Black Rose
Yes, she says...
She swears by the moon; the stars: the sea
Her love as endless;.... as eternity.
She paints her words... in colors so bold
Promises spun.... like threads of gold
She’d fight the storms; she’d face the night
Trade her shadows for his light...
But when the world catches a glimpse
The truth unfolds... the story limps.
And when you take it out to the open
You see her vows were softly spoken.
She only wants to be adored
To hear sweet words... like "You’re my reward."
Never chose him… oh no, not...
She swears by the moon; the stars: the sea
Her love as endless;.... as eternity.
She paints her words... in colors so bold
Promises spun.... like threads of gold
She’d fight the storms; she’d face the night

But when the world catches a glimpse
The truth unfolds... the story limps.
And when you take it out to the open
You see her vows were softly spoken.
She only wants to be adored
To hear sweet words... like "You’re my reward."
Never chose him… oh no, not...

Be humble; but don’t let your spirit be dimmed
Wear pride like a crown when the odds have been skimmed
Be clever; yet know when to play the fool
Break a few rules, but don’t forget the school
Be righteous; but wickedness too has its day
When kindness wanes; let boldness lead the way
Be the shepherd; but sometimes join the flock
Walk with the crowd; yet let your dreams unlock.
Be hopeful; but learn when to let dreams go
Fight for what's right; yet embrace the ebb and flow
Be kind-hearted; but guard your soul’s embrace
Give no...
Wear pride like a crown when the odds have been skimmed
Be clever; yet know when to play the fool
Break a few rules, but don’t forget the school
Be righteous; but wickedness too has its day
When kindness wanes; let boldness lead the way
Be the shepherd; but sometimes join the flock
Walk with the crowd; yet let your dreams unlock.
Be hopeful; but learn when to let dreams go
Fight for what's right; yet embrace the ebb and flow
Be kind-hearted; but guard your soul’s embrace

Love isn't for me
Oh; how long it’s been
Since I wore a grin
Should I let love begin
No; maybe it’s sin
Or love isn’t for me
Oh; I can’t believe...
how heart deceive
With words it weaves..
yet love won’t cleave
Guess that love for real.... ain't meant for me
Oh; how dreams delay
A hope in grey... that fades halfway
I kneel and pray
But love won’t look my way
Oh; how pain persists
A fleeting kiss... that slits the wrists
Each joy resists
Because love won’t come to me
Oh; how time’s a thief
It...
Since I wore a grin
Should I let love begin
No; maybe it’s sin
Or love isn’t for me
Oh; I can’t believe...
how heart deceive

yet love won’t cleave
Guess that love for real.... ain't meant for me
Oh; how dreams delay
A hope in grey... that fades halfway

Oh; how pain persists

All to you
I'll be good to you
My spirit; my soul
Silver and gold
My body awhole
I'll give 'em to you
Tell me and I will do
Sing or dance
This or that
Write or fight
Anything you want me to
Break or bend
Just say when
Day or night
Wrong or right
I'll be here for you
Rain or shine
Your burden's mine
Truth or dare
Anywhere
I'll walk the path with you
Through fire through cold
Young or old
Weak or bold
Heart or hold
I’ll give my all to you
Say the word...
My spirit; my soul
Silver and gold
My body awhole
I'll give 'em to you
Tell me and I will do
Sing or dance

That Guy
They call me this, they call me that,
The bastard; the rebel; the one who won’t crack
The scarred; the forlorn; the apathetic guy
The one who speaks where silence falls flat
Turning the void into lyrical chat
Yea I’m that guy
Who’s used and abused but still finds his track
Who’s bruised and battered yet always fights back
The scars on my soul are stories I own
Proof that I’ve lived and never bowed alone
I’m that guy; who dives into storms
Finding the rhythm in chaos and forms
The poet of pain; the bard of the streets ...
The bastard; the rebel; the one who won’t crack
The scarred; the forlorn; the apathetic guy

Who’s bruised and battered yet always fights back
The scars on my soul are stories I own
Proof that I’ve lived and never bowed alone

Finding the rhythm in chaos and forms
The poet of pain; the bard of the streets ...

The Cry of The Hungry
In the land where the sun kisses the soil
Where abundance once sprang from honest toil
Now hunger prowls... like a restless beast
And famine mocks every hoped-for feast
The yam barns are empty... the granaries bare
The fields once golden... now stripped of care
Scarcity spreads... like harmattan dust
A bitter curse... on a broken trust
A goat tied too long... will chew the rope
But here even ropes... can’t kindle hope
The people cry... their stomachs hollow
Yet promises are all they’re forced to swallow
Once we...
Where abundance once sprang from honest toil
Now hunger prowls... like a restless beast

A bitter curse... on a broken trust
A goat tied too long... will chew the rope
But here even ropes... can’t kindle hope
The people cry... their stomachs hollow
Yet promises are all they’re forced to swallow

Chains of Freedom
Hold up
Don’t talk
Or the grim reaper will steal your voice.
Words turn weapons stripped of choice
Next you're in cuffs
Bound and subdued
Dragged to halls where fairness is skewed.
“Arise my Lord” the bailiff calls
But justice has crumbled within those walls.
Judged for truths you dared to say
Now silenced tossed like waste-away.
In the jungle of law where power preys
Your rights dissolve in a smoky haze.
In the heart of the city beneath neon lights
Lies Mide a dreamer who fought for rights.
He raised his...
Don’t talk

Dragged to halls where fairness is skewed.

Judged for truths you dared to say

LONE BOY
Wake up; it's a sleepless night darling
Wake up; feel the darkness hardening
Lone boy; put your boot on; stop snoring
Cos no aid is even coming from the sky
Lone boy; seems no one cares about thee
Lone boy; they're blind to what you'd be
No, no, they don't wanna hear that story
Stand up, no one will tell you sorry
Wake up; it's 6am in the morning
Stand up, sey you hear that tummy yearning.
Wake up; No help is really coming
Just words, hypocrisy and fake promise...
Lone boy; everybody's just watching
No love;...
Wake up; feel the darkness hardening
Lone boy; put your boot on; stop snoring
Cos no aid is even coming from the sky
Lone boy; seems no one cares about thee
Lone boy; they're blind to what you'd be
No, no, they don't wanna hear that story
Stand up, no one will tell you sorry
Wake up; it's 6am in the morning
Stand up, sey you hear that tummy yearning.
Wake up; No help is really coming
Just words, hypocrisy and fake promise...
Lone boy; everybody's just watching
No love;...

The Cry of Africa
In the heart of Africa... a tale unfolds,
of oil and gold... diamonds and coal
riches untold... of lands turned cold.
Our soil, a treasure... deep and vast
Yet stolen by shadows from the very past.
Corrupt leaders sit... on lofty thrones
Trading futures... for foreign loans.
They dine in luxury... in gold arrays,
While the people suffer... lost in haze.
The streets are weary... hope is thin
Promises broken... time and time again.
They speak of change... with polished lies
ELÖFÖKANBALÈ... now, our tensions hyped
While...
of oil and gold... diamonds and coal
riches untold... of lands turned cold.
Our soil, a treasure... deep and vast
Yet stolen by shadows from the very past.
Corrupt leaders sit... on lofty thrones
Trading futures... for foreign loans.
They dine in luxury... in gold arrays,
While the people suffer... lost in haze.
The streets are weary... hope is thin
Promises broken... time and time again.
They speak of change... with polished lies
ELÖFÖKANBALÈ... now, our tensions hyped

Teacher
In halls where wisdom softly swells,
The teachers toil through endless bells.
Their voices craft the future’s song,
Yet bear a burden far too long.
With steady hands; they mold the mind,
But justice still; remains unkind.
They ask for fair; yet walk alone,
Their struggles silent; rarely shown.
For every soul they guide and teach,
Their own ambitions fade from reach.
But in their hearts; a fire stays bright,
Through darkest hours; they guard the light.
They stand as towers; tall and strong, ...
The teachers toil through endless bells.
Their voices craft the future’s song,
Yet bear a burden far too long.
With steady hands; they mold the mind,
But justice still; remains unkind.
They ask for fair; yet walk alone,
Their struggles silent; rarely shown.
For every soul they guide and teach,
Their own ambitions fade from reach.
But in their hearts; a fire stays bright,
Through darkest hours; they guard the light.
They stand as towers; tall and strong, ...
