DREAM
I have awoken from a dream
The dream, in which I was ignorant
My ignorance proved to be a reality
A reality of delusion.
I was born a baby in that dream
Grew as an adult in that dream
Married and gave birth in that dream
Grew old for the elapse of time
Died and left the world of dream.
In the world or reality did I awoke
Where everything stood at my door step
But was to be short-lived
For I was to be born again in the world of dreams.
In my ignorance did I sour round the wheel of birth, death and rebirth.
In the likes of a dog chasing its tale
Until the final moment arrived when I awoke to the world of reality.
O ye mother of love, peace, and blessings
Thou ocean of bliss and transcendence ecstasy
I love u and will forever revere thee.

The Arrow OF Destiny
That which possesses no mercy
When it says white; it’s white.
When it says NO; its NO.
That which when short, chases its target till hit.
That which possesses point of no return
When threshold is reached.
Many a mouth is they who claim ‘had I known’
But this is a mere acronym for destiny
Remember the ink of destiny has already dried up
Since time immemorial.
To be

NATURE, FRUIT OF GOD
Compliment of life
Bosom of the green life
Leaves and the trees
And the evergreen
Nature, fruit of God
Compliment of life
Gold cup of the waters
Rivers and the springs
And the high seas
Nature, fruit of God
Compliment of life
Roots of the landforms
Mountains and the valleys
And the highlands
Nature, fruit of God
Compliment of life
Guardroom of treasures
Gold and the diamonds
And the deep black oil
Why let them pollute you
Handsome and beautiful
Why let them degrade you
Handsome and beautiful
Why let them destroy you
Handsome and beautiful
Flesh becomes manure to you
When the breath is gone!
Gone!!
Gone!!!
Nature fruit of God.

One kiss
Why have you shattered my dreams?
Why have you brought misery into my life?
Why have you brought pain and sorrow to this helpless soul?
Oh you do not have pity
Why have you aided in the breaking up of this fragile heart?
Oh one kiss, girl I reminisce.
Why did I even ask for you in the first place?
Why did I not stay away for at least one day to avoid your deadly arrow?
Why was I so much in love that I could not breathe without the sight of my beloved?
Oh one kiss, do not be glad for it was the course of destiny.
Where have you left my beloved?
Where have you taken this precious gel of mine to?
Oh tell me, in what situation is she now?
Where have you taken her dreams and aspirations to?
In the flood of tears.
Oh one kiss, girl I reminisce.
Is this the way things should end?
Is this what was destined to be?
If so, why did I trail its path?
Girl we are meant to be. Our bond is as hard as diamond
Remember, through thick and thin we came to love each other and learned from our experiences.
So do not be disappointed by the arrow of one kiss.
Oh one kiss, girl I reminisce.
Girl lets change the course of destiny
And make it chase its tail
Be strong and steadfast girl
Let’s put a shame to the arrow of one kiss.
