MEMORY LANE

Like a day dream, a reflection of my past

Days of bliss, Fresh and filled with soothing air

With tears in my eyes, as it’s also filled with pains and grieves

I missed all the curves and bends

Subtle tricks we play, the love and pains

Laughs and fun with friends, It’s a joy of its kind

It is my tool

The ebb and tides images,

The pains and grieves,

The sunshine and stars

All are memories

Trapped in the deep depth of my mind

My very salt of remembrance

 

 

WORDS I NEVER GET A CHANCE TO EXPRESS

I want to say;

You are gorgeous

You have a magnificent figure

Your smile is fairer far than that of the maidens

I want   to say;

You have ebony, gorgeous skin, like the dusk on the eastern horizon

And your art fairer than the evening’s air, clad in the beauty of a thousand stars

I want to say;

I have seen beauty, but yours is a discovery and…….. Impressive too

True beauty is in your eyes and smiles

I want to say;

I saw you but once

And I came up with the impression of you being something as unique and remote as undine

And to say;

A rose is sweeter in the bud than full blown, you are beautiful just the way you are

I want to say;

Your beauty alone could make all the world happy

And it could make every being forget his restrictions as long as he experience your enchantment

I want to say;

Your elegance is sweet and attractive

Keep it that way

You are beautiful and age can’t wither you nor custom stale your infinite variety

I want to say;

I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks always

Your beauty and the 60 minutes of my death

And that perhaps I could have possession of them both in the same minute

 

 

 

 

 

HOME (THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME)

Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam

Be it ever so humble

There’s no place like home

A charm from the sky seems to hallow us there

Which, seek through the world

Is never met with elsewhere

Home, sweet home

There’s no place like home

 

An exile from home

Splendor dazzles in vain

I gaze on the moon as I tried the drear wild

And feel that my mother now think of her child

Home, sweet home

There’s no place like home

 

To thee I will return

Over burdened with care

The hearts dearest solace will smile on me there

Be it ever so humble

There’s no place like home

Home, sweet home

There’s no place like home

 

 

 

 

 

WHERE I COME FROM

The cradle of humanity

Home to great diversity of people and cultures

Land of conspicuous contrast and wild beauty

Beautiful and free

Locality of hopes and dreams

Filled with kindness and love

Potency of the weak

And native habitat of the brave

Beautiful in the day and a jewel at night

With designated mountains and valleys to catch the sight

Place where one find freedom and solace

Voice of the voiceless

Place where the patriots roam

Champions of the depressed

Abode of great leaders, novelist and poets

Nelson Mandela, Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka

Home of the nile

Land of true heroes

Laying beneath the soil

And those standing on top of the mountains

Wonderful land that makes us one

My everlasting birthplace

To come from here is a dream many wished

My home, My very home

Africa, Africa

Mama Africa

 

COULD THIS BE LOVE

Special to me like a ruby

A gem that she is

I would do anything to protect her, as hen to her chicks

For my fondness of her is powerful and deep like the sea

My feelings for her, high and running fast, even the wind couldn’t keep a pace

Her uniqueness esteem in my eyes, blinded, I couldn’t see anything more pleasing

As with her, I have the perfect bliss

Each glimpse of her, I could feel the freshness of air upon my face and deep down my soul

I look in her picture, no doubt, I see Mona Lisa

I watch her approach me from a distance, my mind fill with thoughts, could she be the incarnation of Cleopatra? As her elegance is exceptional

She smiles and joy runs high over in my heart, as waves of ocean on the shore

She calls me with that name (LOVE), I feel on top of the world and special like the reigning emperor

In my thoughts, a question lays

What could these feelings be?

BEAUTY

She glowed with radiance

Her nose equiline

Skin white as snow

Her beauty bewildered me

Even after only a slight glance

She unites beauty and intelligence
