Ode to a very special friend

Memory will tell of words
Which we could not say
Words mixed with feelings
Would not make you stay

You have a life
One I could not fight
We shared the temperaments of love
Those issues our tender hearts couldn’t solve

Time and time again
You will be here
Here in my heart
While you are there
Far and away


Our journey ended where it began
But our lives must continue
From where it severed

Sometimes we meet people
Sometimes people meet us
It is not the same
The rules change every time

Sometimes we make our friends
Sometimes our friends make us
It is never a game
For it is never the same

Time and time again
You will be here
Here in my heart
While you are there
Far and away

No matter how brief the moments were
They were the best of times with you
Times money would dare not buy
Moments alone in our carved world

We both fumbled, yet our love didn’t crumble
You were right, I was wrong
You left the marks
I couldn’t trace it
You left the door open
I couldn’t come in
I waited outside
Till a stranger came in
To take away what belonged to us

Time and time again
You will be here
Here in my heart
While you are there
Far and away

Maybe we are meant to be
Maybe not
We did speak the love words
Those words sharper than a two-edged sword
It did cut our hearts
But our love it couldn’t shut

We did our parts
We took the separate noble paths
As the journey is, so is our lives
Love is always a narrow path
Life is always a rough path
Death is always a tough path

Time and time again
You will always be here
Here in my heart
While you are there
Far and away
There with him.

  The first time I saw you Was the day the you gave a full smile That caught the attention of the crescent sun It was the day I came out of darkness Because you chose to become my light My own crescent sun It was a day my dreams ended Because you chose to become a reality That day was glorious bright The lustrous green leaves gave a charming smile To the appearance of the golden sun The birds were free-flying upon the sky’s table The rivers poured stylishly into the bounty of the Flowing sea’s pool Everything was good and in order I knew from your eyes That I had no more secrets You are my hidden secrets exposed From your hair down to your feet I knew God painstakingly spent extra days To create a mortal like you for me When God was creating a million And when God completed the whole creation Out of the billion, you outshine their union You are true because you are rarer You are not an Angel, Angels are meant to serve men Y...

Tribute

Tribute to Nigerians Who lived to fight But died at bullets sight For justice, for equity For change, for betterment Tribute to Nigerians Whose smiles suffer them And their cries are never heard Who suffers for daily bread While deep inside, they bleed Tribute to Nigerians Who wake up early to sleep late Hawking for bread, hustling in stress Working, but worked out Striving, but starved to death Tribute to Nigerians Who did not place religion above man But place man above religion Who are their brother’s keeper Who honours the difference in others Tribute to Nigerians Whose friends betrayed and colleagues dismayed In prisons and cell blocks for no offense Praying yet; yet prayed for their foes Men of valour, buried without honour Tribute to Nigerians Who saw political fraudsters and liars And were brave enough to stand their feet Not corrupt by lies, not swayed by bribes Who in t...
