I Know (Part 2)

I know you think i am naughty.
A pervert with a mundane mind.
Whose upbringing may be faulty
I know dear friend, i know.

I know you feel i'm not serious.
Most times you think i am kidding.
You hardly know when i'm furious.
I know dearest i know.

Sometimes i tend to be recluse.
Pushing you away, setting loose
Blotches and sparks of my own fuse
That hurt you... friend... i know.

You know we all are not perfect.
There's beauty in our flaws dearest.
Don't make us in our hurts, neglect.
Moments that made our love to grow.

On boundless plains, in seas ashore.
Where sands glinted like distant stars
And hope was drawn across the waves
That washed our pains and healed our scars.

I know you know i love you still.
Despite the way you treat me still.
You do not know that soon i will.
Leave you, dear friend, alone.

To live my life in subtle peace.
And break all bonds that brought us joy.
And to my tent in solemn bliss.
Forget that you ever exist...

++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...
