Unending Love Note

Unending Love Note Poem By Lawore Olufemi


I write on a leafy note
with an ink that prints
out my thoughts
incompletely.


My words of love,
spread affectionately
in colourful fonts
expressing my unmatched desire
to pitch the best spot on your heart


I write my words,
thinking neither right nor left
but with beaming smiles and eyes
seeing you in each pages,
of alphabets arranged in lines
as I paste my emotions in letters


I write of you
Of an imperfect smiles
yet beautiful for a queen and a wife
Innocent looks melting my harden heart
With soft touches like cold water
Splashed on tender body
A blessing to my soul


I have written
And won't be my last
we have futured this together
Even as we grow with kids
and build a larger family
I will still put words on paper
sharing the odds and even
moments of our days together


I will write as our sons
becomes good husbands
I will still write as our daughters
becomes virtuous wives

This ink doth not fade even as we age
to see many grand children
and watch as the little ones play
my words will be unending
In this, unfinished note


This note wont get filled up
as we spend our mornings
and nights,
spending them in wellness
and wealth
and as life walks away
beyond our footsteps
my darling, even to our old graves
you will still be the queen
that sets my passion on fire
to write this unfinished note.

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...

RELIGION

I am a Christian to the extent that I concur with Saint Paul in saying, “And if I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge and have not love, I am nothing”.   I am a Buddhist to the extent that I realize, with Gautama, that only when a man forsakes all his desires is he really free. I am a Jew to the extent I believe profoundly in the saying. “ Hear, O Isreal, the Lord our God is one.” I am a Hindu to the extent of believing and practicing the kingly science of Yoga, the science of Union with the spiritual Self. I am a Mohammedan to the extent that I rely on Allah above all else. And finally, I am a follower of Lao-Tzu to the extent that I accept his perception of the strange paradoxes of life. I will not walk with Christians into an exaltation of truth above what Christ teaches, those words that have life and death in them. I will not walk with a Buddhist into a denial of the beauty and pleasure which existence holds for me. I will not walk with Jews ...
