All about love…
TEARS
You are the precious water
That weaken me…
You are the value
That value me…
You are my past
My present my future
You are the two worlds
That birth my mood…
‘
Though I live in a castle
Of wealth and riches
Though I hustle
In my small hut with million wishes
Though I feel hurt and heal
Though I chide weakness with zeal
You are the twain tranquil springs
Released from the core of my soul
Joining at the jaw of my goal.
‘
Though rain fall to wash you away
Though moon listens to
What you want me to say
And stars… stars comfort you
To stay with me through the night…
You are my sunrise by day
At the vantage bay…
You are mine; I have you
In secret, in the street…
In the definition of my true self.

FOREVER***
My unwritten art imagined you
when brooding about future,
you are that angel
with broken wings
you are that angel
who is in need of my tinge
you are the angel
so, I’m here
you are the angel
my guardian, my heir…
Now that we are
at the juncture of my piece
I kissed your forehead
unknown to who you are…
like a diary dream
we became soulmate
destined to love each other…
You are my poetry
I’m here, I’m yours…
just think no more
your hiddens, my journey
now and forever…

ORCHID by Rujeko Moyo
So elegant
So fragile
So fragrant
So beautiful
‘
She blooms in the sun
She blooms in the rain
‘
She thrives in the open air
She thrives in walls’ confines
‘
Abounding in summer’s warmth
Prevailing through winter’s cold
‘
No matter what comes her way
She re-emerges, re-blooms
Again and again and again
‘
An orchid is who she is

MY LOVE
MY LOVE,
Tell me tales
Under this guava tree,
Lull me sleep
So I will be free…
♡
I know;
You will be here
Watching me…
Though, my eyes were closed
I feel your arms…
♡
I feel you
All around me,
Watching over me…
As I’m watching over you
♡
I’m counting
Each of your heartbeat
Till you’ll sleep on me
To open my eyes
My lips, my touches
♥
Think not
That I’ll care less
I’ll sleep awhile
I’ll dream of you
Appreciating me…
♡
Appreciating me
For being there,
For being here
Here with you
Telling you tales
Under this guava tree…
♥
That day will surely come
When you’ll fall asleep
And wake up to me
Again and again…
♡
I rest my pen
Dawn will soon whisper;
Leaves will soon dew
And cock…crows-
That perfect day ahead.
♡ ♡

THROUGH MY EYES
I hide my tears
Behind your veil,
Between the crevice
Of a fragile wall of love
Where I fight my way
To be your crown…
°
I hide my tears
For surreal…
For frost, for freedom to
Draw your art nigher
And fill the crispy crevice
With me alone…
°
I hide my tears
Till those moments
Remembered by me,
Where tales become tides
By expressing me with ‘felt’
Before I left you to choice.
°
Though, those tears might not
Flow to make you think
Of how I’ve lived in your shoe,
You know you are mine,
Why must I feel your foot
Before I kiss your loin?
O’ Jewel!
#tears…

TELL ÀSHÀKÉ by Joel Oluwatosin
TELL ÀSHÀKÉ
If you ever cross her pathway,
If you ever get a whiff of her fragrance,
If you recognize
The sound of her footsteps from a distance
And the melody of her sonorous chant;
Àkàrà rèé, Èko rèé…
Hmmm…Àshàké;
The step daughter of a famous adroit
bean cake merchant..
…
Tell Àshàké…
That her voice was the fork
That tuned my ear,
That the sand is delighted
To be the canvas of her elegant steps,
That the moon would be unwise not to stare at her.
…
Tell Àshàké…
She should be careful when visiting streams,
Oya, Yemoja, Òsun and others of their ilk
are envious,
Not all goddesses are pleased with her beauty.
…
Tell Àshàké…
That an iota of her smile
Is all the day needs to be brightened,
No wonder Gbádégeshin could not let go of her
And saw to it to the end.
…
Please tell Àshàké…
I never meant to leave her in the cold,
I sure made a perfect plan to elope,
I never wanted her to retreat
Back to Ìyá Alákàrà; the lousy scold.
…
Narrate to Àshàké…
That I was never a coward,
Even after those blows from the Prince’s sword
Her call I never Ignored,
Even now, as I lay
In my very own pool of blood
And my ancestors beckon
Tell her
She was the one Àkànní loved till the end came.

Gratitude…
🙏
I bless my Good God
For making all things
Bright and beautiful
Wise and wonderful
Great and graceful
Graced and grateful…
I bless my Good God
Though, I am imperfect
In his sight
But, I am of grace
To what He has done,
Do and doing
To make me
Creatively creative
Exceptionally exceptional
Actively active
And wonderfully wonderful…
Though, I may be
Intolerant of my tolerants
Nonsensically naughty
Paradoxically paranoid
And fearfully feared,
I am grateful
For He hath made me
Who I was, who I am
And who I am becoming
To become!
In A made of His art…
I bless my Good God
Who in his mercy
Love me unconditionally
As He hast made me
To be among His useful quill
To the unwritten world of words.
🙏

Let’s talk about Love💝
To what will love compared?
Of a broken string –
Played to err fingers
Of a tattered drum
Beaten more than words
Of a brass –
Rusted of fallen water
Of a soul
Sown of salmons…
Of a dew
Died of rising sun
Of me
After a lone cry…….
🌹
To what will love compared?
Tell me
Of tragedy felt
When ocean dried of sand
Of comedy askew
As the sun sets at noon
Of culture
In unison symphony of Muslim
Of religion
Sobbing on freedom
Of gravity; of attitude
Of grief…….
Of grace……
🌹
To which do love compared?
Of simile
When simile does not similar
With the divine love
Hidden from the depth
Of your heart.

BUTTERFLY***by NatursQuill and Ananya
Butterfly hovers over a flower
Circling round it for a time
Before she finally sets on its petal
And petal transforms
To the portrait of’d weeping sky
After the words of rain –
Who washed away her sin
Commit’d before a crow crew
For’d blessed new day.
She laps the nectar
In the blooming flower
And set for another trip
Where our wishes live
To be our fulfilled fruity
Fruit, growing with life…
Like the refreshed wings
Of her; O’ butterfly, leaving
As petal’s wish, to live.
