ADENUGA TITILAYO

Freedom running about
searching for its opposite unlucky victims
alas! here they are
bound in chains
...

It's Christmas and
Everyone is searching for its merry
Young and old
Black and white
...

Black, bold and beautiful
full of life, pride and dignity
struggles through the storm
yet remains top
...

I am a woman
covered in a hood
that's painted in dark and bright colors
...

Into the world unknown
i go deep
in search for virtue, success and fulfillment
the deeper i go
...

Trapped in the grave of my flesh
In vain I struggled to come out
Pains, agony and torture my guard
Shame and guilt stuck on my face
...

His hands so enormous
In it the earth and galaxies live
The clouds are spread like garments
And the stars at night twinkle
...

Take a look at the man staring
See through his eyes
Search deep and deep
Take a sharp turn through the darkest valley
...

All nights
I wet my pillow
Holding tight and hoping for strength
Strength for survival
...

If I could
Turn back the hands of time
May be I would put more efforts in excellence and less in grades
If I could
...

I know you
I know what you want
Suck deep, crawl up my body and head
Part my hair with your fingers
...

Deep down it echoes
Stringed to the wall of your heart
Bubbles up, shaking down
Loud not to be heard
...

Strong ties
Unbreakable bond
Sweet vows
In love and pains
...

If I said I love you more than the fresh smell of air
Would you smile?
If I said I love you more than my folks and grand
Would you take me for a jerk?
...

My kids call me momma
and yes i am their mama
i look after them
watch their backs
...

It stares back at me
looks me deep in the eye
in search for something real and true
something natural to my being
...

I walked down the path of loneliness
in search for a companion

Up the hill i met Jill
who broke my heart and pulled me down the hill
...

Things fall apart
Scattered round the earth
Like a broken vase
That holds the fairest of flowers
...

Pink rosy cheeks
white sparkling teeth
spread of laughter like a flowing garment
...

Dark clouds gathering
falling unto the earth
flying birds to their nest
running people to rest
...
