Life is like a football game
When you score a goal, you must play hard to defend it
And even harder to score more goals,
...

When we mount the pulpit
To call God's kingdom to come, and
The widow's might strengthen our tongues,
As the congregation sow seed and pay tithes for our
...

Eye link generations
As they come, live, and transcend to ‘eternity'
The spirit dwells and speaks through me,
I am divine…
...

Bloomingly gloomy,
The soul is moody,
The cloud has gathered,
Thick and threatening…
...

I dance for me,
Silent vibrations from within
Rhythm of the unseen,
...

It was a Good Friday,
The day eye met you.
In a dusty, harmattan ridden, exam malpracticing class.
Eye became the invigilator
...

Rhythmical thoughts,
Elastic, inelastic tensions,
Restless mood anticipating the invisibles
In the world of fantasies
...

What manner of choice is man?
…specimen; test tube!

Does he have a choice?
...

I

The most productive wife of this
Unholy polygamy,
...

She walks not the cat stage
Wriggling her waist, and jerking her buttocks
Like a mold of amala in the hands of mama-put,
Her braless breasts are not spectacle for the audience
...

Unbroken fellowship,
The living and dead
For our love for the departed
Keep us in everlasting communion as

When I remember the fish,
The river longed me to go,
Wriggling and meandering, slippery in this
Imaginary waters of my world,
...

A wonderful couple with mysterious nature…
For a dying body,
What a rhythm known and unknown,
Hours, minutes, seconds,
...

Surgical section, Medical section,
Bed one, bed two, bed three …
Feeding and oxygen tubes in nostrils,
Catheter, Diapers… antiseptic odour fills the air.
...

Farewell my Queen to the land of Angels,
Fly with the wings of Cherubim, soar with
The fire of Seraphim,
Fare into light of God, shine with the stars,
...

Amazing voices sing in praise
Of God every morning and night, yet,
This house is war.
...

They call us happiest people on earth
Eye wonder why it was so.
We are people psychologically oppressed,
And we sort happiness everywhere to float.
...

When the flesh of this emotion dies,
When it goes down so deep;
Six feet or less or more,
As food to termites, vultures or the fish,
...

Eye seek what I know not,
Like an eagle hovering and scanning the
Horizon, eye seek.
...

In this desert we stand,
Forward is as far as backward.
Hope,
That antidote for unseen tomorrow green,
