DARE, SEER
To the girl who froze, yes, like stew in the fridge,
Once danced in jollof sun, now strides a snowy ridge.
Yet still she flies, feathered fierce and rare,
Because every day na another day to dare.
I remember: how you used to wake up at midnight,
Clatter in the flame-lit room,
Spices rising like war chants in smoky bloom,
Just to fix a tight meal that tasted like home.
You stirred pots like spells, with wisdom to pour,
Head sharp like blade, heart rich to the core.
Brains wey de blaze, hands that bless --
Queen of soup and dreams no...

Fireflies At Night
You might not believe your eyes at the sight.
Of a sky,covered in fireflies at night.
Like nightlights far,far away.
That wink at you and save you from your woes any day.
As you sleep,they cover up the sky.
Maybe if you dream of it,you'll end up high.
If you ask me how they shine.
When starlight and shimmer combine.
It's like magic from far,far away.
That help you and comfort you all the way.
And you get a thousand hugs that night.
Of shining fireflies in a great height.
Let them lift you up as one of their...

LET ME SHARE THE STAGE WITH YOU
Let me share the stage with you,
show I am proud of what you do.
Make sure I'm in the sound tracking
while I give my words of backing.
Such is my depth of commitment
to you and your life's fulfilment.

Restore Me
As I rise upon another day in my own life, I will always give my thanks to GOD ALMIGHTY. WHO has been my angel 😇 watching over me all the nights and days of my life, with the things that have somehow change my life and turn my world around. But yet through my cancer I've learned, more about my self in so many ways, that even I was surprised how strong, I was and am not giving up on life. Yet what I can say is that, I've never gave up on my faith and beliefs. But yet as it's been four years since, my diagnosis of cancer I still keep standing and fighting for this precious gift of life....

Of Mice and Men
The mice in Belgium do not eat fine chocolate
They scoff at imported Swiss cheese
And have only contempt for a left- over bacon burgers,
they feast on plans of roads and buildings
I blame EU for this the mice have bureaucratic
And go through stacks of programs especially those
About repairing tunnels and roads
Bureaucrats of any hue are working overtime
Try keeping up this losing battle against mice
So many cars choking up the roads Islamists
Have to go to Paris when blowing up people.

QUE FIT NO SERA SERA
"Que Sera Sera;” one of the lies that’s been passed down in ages
A sweet lullaby for the lazy
a lullaby that kills the will
We’re told; “Whatever will be; will be;”
but forget that what will be needs 'Will' to be
Destiny isn’t a scripted play; it’s a field
And man was gifted a tool; the name is "will"
Yet we sit; fold arms; and call it fate
as if the Most High created us to spectate
Not every dream dies because it wasn’t meant to be
Some die because someone refused to will it into being
“Que Sera Sera”; A...

DU and Me
The end of an era
both yours DU, and mine.
Sometimes it’s best just to say goodbye
to close the door and not…hang on.
Urgently my fingers copy and paste my trove of poems
just to make sure…just to make sure I’ve got them all
before you close your doors.
Every now and then I read one and I'm
taken back to that space and time.
It’s like walking the yellow brick road in reverse
where life was lived, where joy was felt
where heartache reigned.
But more importantly - I see...I see
how I have grown...how I have...

Some paint murals on walls
Some write poetry to touch hearts
Some create music to move the soul
While many push to promote the arts
Some inspire through education
Some motivate through their fashion
Some vocations are here to help humanity
Lifting others by showing empathy and compassion
Some encourage others to be curious
Knowing the universe is always expanding
Promoting knowledge to be fun and creative
As they foster collaboration and understanding
Some spread joy with their skills
Some help heal and bring...

Nature Speaks Poesy
Nature Speaks Poetry
Flavoured with the softest zephyr, soaked into the finest dew,, served in flowered cup of the time,
spring comes to life again, waddling in the fields, dancing with growing greens bending its shoulder
to nod assent to every willing poet.....i come entranced to bow silently to this celestial eternity,
try to pour my heart, my feelings like a liquid love into honeyed words.
i am enchanted, ever again and more inebriated,,, the perfume souvenirs come alive,
with every daisy blooming; with every beak chirping, with...

The Land of Stuck
I moan far too much
about being stuck.
Stuck in writer’s block.
Stuck in expectations.
Stuck in fear of rejection.
Stuck has become
a mighty comfortable place,
requiring
nothing.
In the Land of Stuck, I don’t have to
contend with comparison or judgement.
I don’t have to worry about the possibility
of my words having real power.
I don’t have to lose the people
who can’t see me.
I don’t have to get better at my craft,
because it serves no purpose.
Now my Values are getting impatient

Good luck
I thought I was dreaming when my computer threw out a mass of information, mostly about things of scant interest, but when it said I had three thousand pages of words on WordPress, I looked up the WP and it was true
My fingers are bigger than the rest of me, and so are my feet, which are bothersome and blue with diabetes, but my hands are milky white and my fingers have short nails in a way perfect for one who writes poetry but not able to sell anything
But soldier on for my benefit, it keeps me sane. Had I been sporty, I could have played golf like Trump. I...
