IFUNANYA

While the trees dance gently..
To the melodies of the winds of sanity..
Let me, in you, get lost in this trip..
To the grassy fields of insanity..

Begun with the lustre of a smile..
Made in the valleys of care..
Mountains go to the moon to seek advice..
"What will happen when she's no more there..?"

The eyez of sheer passion..
Glittering through the fortress created by hurt.
Fires of desire scourges the trees of doubt
In the forest of my reflex thoughts..


Ifunanya..
Anointed to steal this heart..
Kept in the gardens of Solitude.
Ifunanya.
Did fate decide of this path..?
In the midst of dawning incertitude.
Ifunanya.
Will our cares erase the tears of yesteryear.
and take away the fears of another tear.
Ifunanya..
Will the elders in the village of wisdom..
Approve our journey into the forest of love's kingdom..

See me through the eyez of friendship..
See me through the eyez of the sun..
See me through the joys of tommorrow.
These torrents of affections blows me strong..

You came by my way,
the other day..
Beauty made itself manifest.
In the aura of the amorous fray.
Started in the classrooms of yesteryears..
Divine..
Discreet..
Designed..
To sweep warriors off their feet..
While my tots mope around.
Looking for salvation..
On fallowed grounds..

And while the feelings of doubt linger..
I have opened the gates of the fortress..
Created by the mistakes of my past
i have mortified my spirit to drink from this calabash..
Containing the palmwine of your sweet tenderness..

Let me then take you to the lands of Obi'm..
Where giants live, bathing with honey..
And make our hearts conquer in a bond..
Indestructible by the strongest and the most cunny.

Lets open the curtains of eternity..
And make constellations marvel..
I will make you the infinitesimal..
Custodian of the sun, moon and stars..

Then you will know..
How much you mean to me..
In drought, in rain..
You are the life i see..
Ifunanya.........

++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...
