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 mental abstraction.

But you will prevail.
For though many times you may fail.
You'll realize they were meant to shape you.
Into a tigress that can't be tamed.

By the horrors of rejection
Depression and oppression.
For you will stand firm
Like a fem-inist in disguise.

Breaking through every chain
Melting every ice.
Being a force to reckon with
Against all odds.

Toyin

Today was the day heaven stood still.
And time was held against its will.
Relish in the rapture of songs of glory
As you begin a new chapter of your story.

Happy Birthday.

Rantings of a dying dream

So here you are, Pleading with your nightmares, Asking for its forgiveness. You had earlier castrated your thoughts, Stripping it of it's ability To produce dreams. What is left now are figments of a dying past. That has no relevance in the trends of the present. So you sit by the wayside, Begging for knowledge On the streets of ignorance. No help came. Only words... Words that eat deep, painfully, Into your bones and marrows. Depriving you of the ability to hope for tomorrow. No way to augment for the times spent in the corners of joy and bliss. you flee to the sunset. Hoping to gain comfort through the eye of the needle. It only gets worse. Your eyes bleed with desire to feel the jaws of inspiration biting through your skin. Oh, that pleasure. Yes, that intoxicating pain to feel revived again. you just can't handle the streams of revelations blowing through your mind. Your soul awakens Your eyes blink to white. You begin to see... things. In the midst of ...

Soulmate

The other day I wanted to see your smile in reverse. as it morphed from happiness to sadness Then play it back from that moment when you were sad, and i kissed you... and you smiled, sheepishly. I wanted to make it look like an insta-boomerang of some sort. moving back and forth, Chewing the memories with the jaws of my imaginations. I had thought at some point that what if, we could go back to when it all began... You had sat beside me in this bus headed to no destination because for me, my destination resides in you. i turned sideways and saw you reading your way into the scrolls guarding my heart. You were about to make me loose sight of perspective. So i disappeared into thin air. But who am i when thin air is the same thing that made me thin as a strand of hair because... I was almost loosing my sanity from the incessant fights to regain dominance of my perspective. You seemed like a virus, chewing and replicating yourself into the cracks within my mind, bre...

Oma

Oma. Do not be surprised When I put flowers On each strand of your hair. To let you know how special You've been to me. Oma Don't be surprised when I burn my laughter in your eyes. For that's how you make me feel Like a Phoenix I rise From the ashes of your smile Shining with splendour Like a demi-god dwelling In the midst of men. Because life is a field Designed with storms. I gain strength in the courage You concoct with precision. Giving me the correct doses To keep me spurring on. You are beauty designed On the shores of dreams. You make me see reasons To keep on loving my scars You are the diamond cherished Among stars. The feline inspiration I draw On the board of my imaginations. And with your fluffy smile. You've dusted many sadness away. Oma Don't be surprised when I kiss Your heart and say to it. You are the most beautiful being I know Because it's the truth. And Lord knows it too. So, to your beauty, grace and pois...
