Countless couple cut communication
Communication cut, cripples courtship
Continuous communication creates;
Captivating colourful courtship
...
I was of age before I got engaged
All I bargained for...
A marriage not a cage
A home not a dome
...
Colorless, multiple, miracle pieces of thread,
dropping down from a dark black cloud;
with a melodious touch on the roofs of men's dwelling.
Instantly turning into flowing water as it kisses the earth,

Africa
The continent with shape as a handgun
Facing down the sea
As if her problem is with the sea
...
Who am I?
When the future matters but a little
And willingly, it is sacrificed now
To meet, the pressing demand of today

November six, Nineteen Ninety-two
Ocean of people standing before the Notice Board
Trumpeting at a high pitch like an Africa elephant-
In search of her lost one
...
I was away on the path of illusion
A world that is far separated from reality
Located outside the familiar territory of truth
...
One big blanket that covers the universe
Adorned with a round big white flower
Studded with multitude of tiny shining stones
...
Womb
Wall of fortification
Origin in time, of a new life as opposed to origin in eternity
Masterfully crafted to accomodate the seed of life to be....

I started writing poem when I was in secondary school, but I lost the zeal along the line.I regained the zeal recently and I am trying to regain the skill.I believe as I keep at it I will get there. 'The Ordeal of A Young Poet' is a poem about the challenges I faced as I try to stage a come back to world of writing.)
Marriage Mission
Countless couple cut communication
Communication cut, cripples courtship
Continuous communication creates;
Captivating colourful courtship
Most married men make many mistakes
Mates misunderstand marriage’s missions
Marriage’s missions: mentoring, maturing, multiplication, mating
Mission missed marriage messed
Mate must meet marriage’s missions
Mission met marriage mended
