Very beautifully and pragmatically stated
Love starts coz of early hormones
in guys mostly
some women let admission
oftenly
then they match up as
bf and gf
just for a long while to mingle
and
when entwined in love mostly
they deliver kids but naturally
and
if love still pursues
they marry
oftenly
and
finally as the autumn of life
has its way
leaves are shred
and
skin looks like an
aged oak tree’s bark
love must continue for miles

it's like red stains on snow
the soft withered petal of a rose
how blissfully imperfect
like me.

I walked outside to connect with nature;
There was yellow butterflies everywhere;
I spinned like a child in the wind;
Gleefully delighted, trying to take pictures;

I returned to my couch, by window, to resumed watching YouTube videos;
Suddenly a white butterfly caught corner of my eye,
I dashed to the slide-door to see the butterfly, but he was gone;
I've not seen a white butterfly before;

An Autumn Come Home

You made me feel
as the young woman indeed
in the Garden of Eden
nude absolutely

No fear of Adam’s
spear
he was meant to sow tears

But youth has since evaded
we have been with burden loaded

The leaves and petals
have all withered away
come autumn now our way
smear all fragrance away
all colorful hues go too
whom, does autumn bare
as if she was another one
of his ware

The fragments of diverse norms and traditions,
Scattered around the entity.
Glued by the colonial greed,
branded with a label, Ni-ge-ria.
We are not one, we are not one,
Since 67 till date.

For oneness is our strength,
Like lions to their prey.
Tribalism and nepotism you should kill,
for in their hands the keys to division.

This heritage of our forefathers,
Never a campaign to disunity,
but an instrument of love and harmony.

For over two decades
My heart has been asleep

Today, it spoke to me
A speech ineffable

I felt it threatening to out
Through my throat, then my chest

I swear I felt my heart cry
With its eyes and then sobs with its nose

Deflowered
my thighs receive a gush of wind between.

Im sinking in quicksand
I cant seem to find my footing
My hands are shaking
My bodies moving in ways
I could not have imagined
The sunshine rays
Just dont exist in my world
Shadows fill the void
I have lost all control
The worlds got me spinning
Cant figure out the direction
So lost so confused
Cant figure out what to do
Cant find anyhelp
This is reality
This isnt a game
Its just me
Its how i am

I've been knocked down
Torn and thrown to the side
Lifes taken the most of me
Seems i'm broken and gone
Trying to find my way home
Living amongs thousands
Yet feeling so alone
The knives peircing my back
Scars of life i guess
So now all go
Back down that rabbit hole i call home

Spring comes with the whispering bells
Of forsythia, then the tulips and daffodils
Announce to the land their yellow swell;
All settles to a galaxy of summer green.
Soon the wildflowers and their chromatic
Spectacles fill the trails and meadowed gardens,
As the crimson flora fades and is forgotten.
