Touch
Touch I'll sit there and wonder how this story began My hands will run up and down your spine And I'd swear I could hear your heart beating But the truth is it'll probably be mine Is this love? This feeling Like a steady ship in a raging storm You'll hold me in your arms And your head would rest on my chest Your warm cheeks giving me goose bumps But I'd swear it was only the cold nights wind Our eyes would play hide and seek But our lips would meet at its peak It'll taste just like strawberry li

Promise (for Otunba Gbadebo Awofusi (1937-2011)) iba ara t'orun It’s ok to cry when life lets you down When every fiber of your being wishes time would stand still. Indeed, the sun sets on your presence, Yet, your essence lingers in every thought, And you'll always be honored in our hearts. I promise to love your daughter until my last breath. Lift her high with pride just like you always did. I promise to share your memory with our kids. Teach them with stories of your strength. The pages of yo

Still standing It takes so much energy to stand still My heart burns with desire but there's no will Stuck between a rock and a hard place The ground beneath my feet offers no solace This is not where I'm supposed to be My body is frozen but my minds running free My lips tremble just to make a sound it seems Never to testify to the power of my dreams I will run away one day I know But today will never be that day for sure My fears keep my toes rooted to the ground My anger dissipates without eve

One By Chiedu Ifeozo Even if I lived a million years, cried a million tear’s, faced a million fears. You'd be the one thing I never change, and I won’t need a million hours, or a million dollars, to show you how much you mean, now and forever, and even if I wrote a million lines, paid a million fines, annoyed you a million times, I would always apologize, just to see you smile a million times more, and we'll take a million photos, so we'll never forget, the good and the bad, it'll always make u

Plastic shopping bag I'm just a plastic shopping bag. Empty, floating in the wind. I've been hurt so many times, My thin walls are immune. You were supposed to take care of me. I trusted you, But you filled my insides until it hurt, And left me with a burning desire to hate. I still bleed when I remember you, My porous sides let the wind eat right through me. Your touch was the start of my nightmare. A journey to the edge of the end. Swimming in a gutter of deceit. My dreams stained by your memo

The reds versus the blues By Chiedu Ifeozo We all know how fanatical sports fans can get, I am one myself and I've had to endure the usual taunts of "My team is much better than yours" or "Your team can never win a cup of tea even if they tried". It’s the usual banter that is magically the common factor amongst sport fans but at the same time one that causes the most division. The truth is every team, athlete or sports person, puts in so much work to get to the level that they are at and they d

The truth lied I woke up today thinking about the truth, but it lied, it didn’t set me free. You see, the truth confounds in its simplicity, complicated by second hand emotions, hidden behind tinted glass, sirens and meaningless class. Eyes blinded by accents, like lips sore from injuries incurred behind enemy lines, while we fail to read between the lines of the broadcast in our very own mother tongue. We see less of what is wrong, just who simply doesn’t belong. Life killed the sheriff, but th

Mo ni fe re The phone rings, and it’s you. My heart sings, this is true. But I act like it doesn’t mean a thing, Like your voice isn't my medicine. E karo I can’t wait to see your face, And feel the lines on your palm. Kiss your smile, Chill for a while. Mo ni fe re Words simply can’t explain. You get me, such beauty in simplicity. You hold me up, when I’m uncertain. You're there, no matter how far away. Jo soro die die I want to savor every second. The weight of every word. The depth of every e

Fear We all have our fears Moments when our hearts age many years I know how it feels to be scared Standing in the dark but being more afraid of my heart And the words that were left unsaid Sometimes it feels like an illusion Living on simple intuition It’s hard to explain Being so happy Yet Watching the cracks form It’s all a façade We try so hard not to drop our guard You see It’s easier to fall than jump But still the bottom feels no different from the top Our dreams are afraid of our reality

Everything If my soul could speak, the words would dry your eyes when you weep. And while you sleep, my thoughts will reverberate within your minds walls As my soul speaks soothing words to yours... "Everything that's mine is yours, and you, you're my everything and more"
