Elysian Fields..

I
While i tread through paths where life and pain groans..
Walking past time, beyond the halls of kings.
As i walk through the valley where sin moans
Towards the hills and plains where terror sings.

Let me abide in the ruins of glory.
In the fields where grasses are made of gold.
Let righteousness design me the story.
On the myrtle shrubs of mysteries untold.

For i wish in this life no hunger more.
Than the hunger for the streets of heaven
On the fertile plains where fountains explore.
yonder heights, in eternity's coven..

Let me not in this life of vain befall.
The whims of sin, as i await thy call..

II
The tides of the sea say to its shores.
"We can never be, no, not for too long,
Shall i hope in earnest, on faceless mirrors.
Till ruin becomes the honeyed song"

On life's lane we walk without foresight..
We walk as dead men bound to time
Hoping for light in the abundance of light.
Trapped in the dungeons of predating crime

But look to the skies, there lies a home.
Where death and grave hath found no place..
Where happiness sings with an unequaled tone.
Of bliss on the cerulean clouds of grace

let life and time soar on death wings..
That glory and light may forthwith sing..

III
Countless stars spread across the sea.
Of life, death and eternity;
The flair of freedom, to now see.
The green fields of immortality.

Ordered like straws cast upon red sands.
Life flees, into wispy histories
Paradise falls on desolate lands.
Hallmarks of glory withers into mysteries.

The works of time fades into space.
The knelling chimes of paradise..
Awakens the spirit to chase..
The pulchritude of paradise.

Along the hallows, shall i remain..
As i flourish in the midst of pain..

++Constellations++

One.... two... three. in constant increments, we began the fire that merged two worlds together. "Analysis check" was the phrase I evoked in constant scrutiny of these raging magma in my veins. Our meeting was a constellation of fireflies in space. in which we drowned subconsciously, but somehow evolved into amphibians. that could adapt to these changes terraforming our minds into colonies of insanity. Your eyes is the gate to a world simple and beautiful. Sometimes I question the nature of my reality in your absence. because reality is when I’m with you. Your hands is the highway to all things tender and poignant. Sometimes I get sick when I’m not with you. because your touch makes me blue. I won't try to fight these soldiers of affections assembled in my mind for a war of wit and guts because they will surely prevail. Instead I will lead them on a course to victory in mind, body, spirit and soul. Because I think I've found that mis...

Toyin

Toyin. You have stood the test of time Lending the sky a fist of faith. You have in eternity's mind. Existed before the birth of fate Moving through galaxies like a meteor That glimmers like a neutron star. You found your way through darkness Born into a world of pain and scars. Toyin. I won't try to explain the joy of flowers That bloom at the sight your smile. Or tell you the number of hours. I spend on the nile Of daydreams. Chilling on reflections in the evening Of my imaginations. Reminiscing the times when you In gentle whispers, Told me to: Never relent. Toyin, I won't try to begin to extol The nature of your mind. A concatenation of ideas and skills That puts one in a state of rewind... Into the beauty of your soul A work of art made by God. To bring about miracles, wonders and signs as of Old. Toyin I would like to remind you that The test is not over. You will be tried on different levels And realms till you get to a state Of ment...

Muted Conversation I

Recently i have been trying to understand why i feel the way i feel sometimes. Though not every time. These days i happen to stay aloof and struggle really hard to maintain new friendships. Even old friendships happen to be fading because of this problem. Right now, I'm not sure if the people around me are friends or just acquaintances. I don't know if this is a phase of growing up or an evolving symptom of social anxiety.   Depression is the norm. Everyone and everything in Nigeria have experienced some form of depression at some point, even rats and lizards. But I'm not writing to buttress on that. I'm actually trying to understand why sometimes there is this emptiness we tend to feel, like a hollow, unable to feel joy, not sad either, cry-laughing, laugh-crying.   When I have face-to-face conversations with new people, I tend to be mostly shy to a point where i may be nodding at your words and laughing to your jokes and not really hearing anything. Hugs mean more to...
