Ever seen a girl and your heartbeat skip?
Want to say Hi! and you shiver like you're on a pyramid tip?
Did her voice make you start
Or her gaze felt like dart?
...

She left my life
and took the sun
with her.
Now
...

Through the deserts
Through the swamp
From Cairo
to the Cape
...

It's one big theater
All actors play their part.
Each acting his role.
One man writes the script.
...

I was in love with Mary Jane.
They said she'll make me insane
But for her I always did lust
She's as white as snow
...

If I have to paint love
I'll use the brightest colours
I'll use the colours of the rainbow
If I have to paint love
...

I remember the days of old
when I would fall under the anointing of the Muse
Scripting scriptures in verses
to kindred spirits of the poetic fraternity.
...

When we look at the full moon
We know it will be gone real soon
For nothing stays eternal
For change is most natural
...

As the lies keeps being dished out,
Our heads keeps spinning
The spin doctors from Aso Rock
endlessly gives us the assurance.
...

I'm on bended knees
I'm begging 'Please please'
My mind won't ease
Till I get a kiss
...

It's the eighth wonder of the world
Two separate persons live in one accord
Separate background
In love they are bound
...

What a lovely day
When you came my way
Brought me love
I felt like a dove
...

Hitting the road
to the dictate of my alarm clock.
Behold, the frosty flakes from
heaven do fall.
...

What a happy life I have
Because the Lord I serve
A life saturated with blessings
A life replete with his mercies
...

I see, my heart skips
I see not, it beats faster
I hear, my ear twitches
I hear not, I go deaf
...

Suddenly there arises a discord in our syntax.

Suddenly our phonemes come disjointed.
...

Like Osumare,
you held me
spellbound.
Like Osumare,
...

This apple so sweet
This apple so bitter
This apple makes me glad
This apple makes me sad
...

Standing aloof - In limbo
In a setting - indefinable
A study of his swift seventy
coming at the heel
...

Mother, it is I
who knock at your door.
Once again I knock for
the first time.
...
