Still

Eternity is worthwhile Cos your beauty is timeless Ageless smiles Captured in a moment My mind can't comprehend The end of how it began Hold it right there While I soak it in Frame by frame Pixel by Pixel Hold it... Cut me lose No. I don't wanna leave Staying. Lost Forever. With You. In this moment. [Inspired by the Timeless Beauty of Venice, a city I miss so much] The Beautiful City of Venice [Image Credit...

Spark | Energy | Fire!

So...here it is for your enjoyment... :) Prelude Spark, Energy and Fire met for a drink To discuss and catch up on trivial things Who in his wildest thought would ever think that they all came from the same family tree Image Source I - SPARK I'm the invisible painting on the empty canvass, the future...

One-Five-Three

We will light the candles this time in memory of our fallen heroes no play of words as we express our grief once again we mourn silently. The morning we woke up to a northern blast thinking how long would this last in the evening we would regret so fast what remains of the labours of heroes past? light the candles from east to west hold your peace from north to south remains of our pride we defend in a continual quest no tears, no fears, deep silence...

Our Conductor

What makes me tick? out of what would I pick What makes me sick? like gum would the thoughts stick Strings of the heart, a tune of broken chords, Searching for a song among broken records, rising symphony of the wind's harsh wheezing falling hopes of the audience increasing We sat and watched at the empty conductor's stand wondering if he respected our time or even his band we predicted who he'd be, well, at least a touch of class our conductor...

Tribute to Femi Ademiju.

I remember your smile the last time we saw, so humble it beamed, covering every flaw. Your warm heart and demeanor I admired in secret, in a world of sorrow, your joy expression would defeat. many said you were hardworking, to that I concur, the days and nights of endless toil, never would it occur, that I'd wake one morn to hear that you're gone, "Never", I'd say, "Never!"... my heart with grief torn. The journey of life we know...

An Independence Day collabo by Shai, Somto & Mikesfrequency (me)  Shai: My name is North Often misunderstood, but not a nut Royally born, I strut flaunting my glittering crest, Hence, my name I believe comes first. Stand aside brothers! Be in my way and I have no choice But to come at you with my brute force Why I ask, do you connive so? You whom I have loved dearly so My steps I have since re-traced Back to ways nearly effaced Let it be known, this is my new creed Your turn to make a choice or bleed East, West and South my brethren Always...

Truly Love

You give as you can afford, I smile when I can, We pay our taxes, they obey the rules. What exactly is this thing? so small yet humbles the mighty, so great yet touches even the smallest of things, and so vague, you just forgot the meaning. Is it hugging that loved one, or missing a lost relative? Is it forgiving a grudge, or kissing an old friend? I ask myself and I ask you too, so complex you almost forgot its letters, so simple it's true meaning eludes your conscious, what exactly is this thing? Love is patient but he has to shut her up...

Space by Somto S. Okeke

This is not the hole in my mind Or the distance in my steps. It has nothing to do with the gap in my thoughts, Or the galaxies in their orbits. SPACE I am not talking about the pressing of bodies in the mall, Or the sharing of smell in the elevator. I sit in the bus, nodding my head to the beat of the music, While my feet is disrespecting the floor. I put my hand by the corner of the broken window, And the old woman beside me looks at me like an intruder. She just doesn’t get it; she wasn’t created to be alone She wasn’t created to have her space,...
