Ode to my very special friend

Memory tells of words
Which we could not say
words mixed with feelings, won't make you stay
You have a life,
One I could not fight
we share the temperaments of love
Those issues our tender hearts couldn't solve
Time and time again,
you'll 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 we severed
Sometimes we meet people, sometimes people meet us
it is not the same,
the rule changes every time
Sometimes we make our friends,
Sometimes our friends make us
it is never a game,
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,
they were the best of times with you
Times money cannot buy
Moments alone in our own carved world
We both fumbled,
yet our love did not crumble
You were right, I was wrong
You left the marks, i couldn't trace it
You left the door opened
I couldn't come in
I waited outside
Till a stranger came in
To take away what belongs to us
Time and time again
You will be here
Here in my heart
While you are there
Far and away
May be we are meant to be, maybe not
We did speak the love words
Those words sharper than two edged swords
It did cut our hearts
But our love, it couldn't shut
We did our parts,
we took separate 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.

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...

Diary of Arike

I have done it all. Yes. Slept with all kinds of men. The tall dark fine ones without six packs, the ugly dudes with smelling armpits, the fair ones with body hair well shaved like a trimmed garden. The naughty ones who would insist on everything, pushing and pulling you all over every sections till they ran out of zeal and the boastful ones who would just brag about everything but at the end of the day fall asleep like palm oil inside the bottle. My name is Arike. I would not say I am proud of the job, i don’t even know if i should say i did it for the money or whether to affirm that i did it for a long hatred without healing. I was disflowered when i was still young to know the mounting troubles of life. I was raped by a step father who took the advantage of my unloving mother. I would not blame him, I blame my dad who was drunk to the point of meeting death on the express way. Life has being everything to me- the good, the bad and the ugly. The constant rape never ceased after t...
