My eyne and my heart are at mortal war!
For thy beauty art all the better part of me.
But since thy love I love and thy tasty worth
I do forgive thee, oh sweet gentle thief!
...
I salute thee African's beauty.
Nigeria's diva who hailed from Mbaise.
Orekelewa of the giant of Africa.
Whose beauty an elegant gait.
...
I want to pick a word and think it through.
To plant an idea and watch it grow.
I want to smile and cry whenever I wanted to.
How will this be possible? Can someone tell me so?
...
A kiss blown is a kiss wasted.
The only real kiss is a kiss tasted.
Release my stiffened body with thy lips.
And stir my soul with the heat of thy kiss.
...
'White' cunning birds of prey.
Blimey from west they come.
Those bodkin birds of passage.
Without fear Brits they shun.
...
Oh! How I love the breeze.
It is my swiftness.
Day and night, though I appear freeze.
Even so, the spontaneous overflow of loneliness.
...
I have tasted death.
It's the same with sleep.
I have been buried alive without a grave.
It's the same with wretchedness.
...
Let me not to the sea of fear.
Amidst living, for it is sweetness.
So corrosive to entice.
...
Most times I marvel
At the wonders nature unravel
The magnificence of beauty
The admiration of everything pretty
...
Kiss my cheeks.
For wishes are horses.
And I'm long gone.
In the lust of your love.
...
Who is this bijou lazy?
That bifurcates my bigot.
The roses are blooming and so is milady.
I came bonafide as a polyglot.
...
I wander lonely as a cloud!
That reeks and prays.
Over hills and valleys.
Once like Kwesi, I have been at the cross road.
...
Some became a bard.
Some were smitten.
Some were spell bound.
And enchanted by your beauty.
...
Where's harmony?
When a priest becomes a thief.
And an Imam sells carcass as toys.
When the 'Po' men becomes desperate.
...
My soul hovers for you.
Even more when I beheld you.
Now my saliva fails me.
Much more I feel need to hold you.
...
I wish to confess a feeling.
That has showered my life with a pleasant vibe
I wish to tell a thought of full meaning.
That has brought a new spirit in my life.
...
These days,
Whenever I look into the mirror
I see not myself nor my picture
But a lonely man, trying to put on a brave front
...
Everything about you caresses the thoughts
And excites pure and passionate desires
All that is, is of love and more love
You are the single cure for soul's anorexia!
...
Before the suburbia sages of rumbled griots.
Before the stampede lights of darkness.
...
At first
Loneliness was the feeling
Yes loneliness
Then suddenly loveliness
...

All Over You...Gentle Thief..! ! !
My eyne and my heart are at mortal war!
For thy beauty art all the better part of me.
But since thy love I love and thy tasty worth
I do forgive thee, oh sweet gentle thief!
For at the gaze of thee even the moon divorces the sun,
And cultured men drapes, stalking desk and walls.
All too in days dream, dreaming dreams of good and fun,
With thee. For thy form's form makes mighty men falls.
The moon files a complaint and the mountains murmur!
That the good Lord must be mean and not nice..
Or look howbeit, shall one beaut they say, drive men to stupor?
And cause to awake, all minds, all hearts, and sleepy eyes.
Yet now, mine heart and my brain are in a league.
Since to my brain my heart won't hear nor my heart to it.
But since thy love I love and thy tasty lips,
I do forgive thee, oh sweet and cute, gentle thief!

The Excellency in us, is not just that we are Virtuous but that with Christ we are made esteem and assured the hope of Immortal life.
If we dote on every beauty our frog eyes ever see, we just might not be able to be a good guy. Don't you think?
