TO MY MOON MASTER "MM"

My heart knows no sleeps
Ever awakes to bask
...

I can't marry a poet
One who listens with heart
Silence his loudest echoes
Turning me to deaf and dumb
...

Let me not into shame
For in you I thrust out my love
Do you care to see me cry?
What felony have I committed?
...

So funny a world we are
Everything so fake just about to break
Ain't there all illusion?
...

Not where we used to be
Things ain't the same again
This we never bargain
Just yesterday I moved freely
...

Inspire me oh Lord I pray
For I know less than I think
I wake up each morning to say "I will be there"
Nothing's changing
...

As the evening sun set ⛅
through curtains, diving in my little aboard
With a sensational 'hello'
There I lie thinking and rolling
...

A age with a batch
To patch for a trash
Stepping off the old jab
...

hopeless as helpless
So demanding and controlling
It profited nothing
Since creation, it has been the hard not to crack
...

Eternity too short for me
Less I can say
As desires increase, faith drops
Let me now to life after life
...

MKPÒ ÚTÓ MMÌ smile for me

Smile for me
For all I needed have seen in you
...

This is a symbol of you I made
When nothing seems to fade
Now that fate has lost its faith
What a life so tasteless
...

Call me by name
Don't say I didn't tell
As am called so I am
Not one from birth, but one from depth
...

Life in the jungle
Naso we hustle
No be say we no get Uncle o
But to stand well, you need struggle
...

Even here we get turn
A natural appraisal of gift
Take it in as I get pin
Keep it wet let the bet began
...

The pieces of peace
The death penalty of right
The colour, the stupor end
Shadow on a mission
...

This is me
Taking pride in my profession
A shoe MENDER I am
I can mend all the worn parts
...

A poet never dies
for he dies to live again
in the aftermath of life ordeals
there sprout up a second soul
...

Someone so special
Uniquely amazing
Specially different
Greatly appreciated
...

Finally mind is made up
Standing tall against all odds
Have searched all hearts
Right in you I'm fit
...
