LADY IN THE GLASS BAR

I peer forgetfully into your eyes,

and marvel at your smooth chocolate skin.

When the torch of my happiness dies,

your beauty revives it my heavenly queen.

O lord above hear my confession,

for my heart lusts after her sultry lips.

My body cries of a cavernous obsession,

at the sight of her tempting hips.

FREEDOM VS LIBERTY

Freedom limits man to the boundaries set for him.

Liberty limits man to whatever boundaries he sets for himself.

ADDER

The slippery veil concealed your face,

as darkness shrouds the splendour of the sun.

The contours of your curves, my eyes delightfully trace;

for in my heart the logs of desire slowly burn.

Like the serpent you slither into my body;

and your venom takes charge of my flesh. 

Cupid intoxicates me with his wine, leaving my fangs bloody,

condemning me to a hallucinatory mesh. 

I see the storm gathering in your eyes,

yet your smile disperses the downpour.

When you stare at me do you recount the lies?

Or do they hurt you like an open sore?

I dream of holding your tender hand,

yet I fear it would slip through mine like sand.

LEGACY

“The beginning begins only to end the end.”

WHY DO YOU CALL ON ME?

Why do you call on me?

Do the embers of love pester thee?

Drawing you as the moth to a flame. 

Do the hands of guilt clutch tightly to your soul?

Rendering you paralysed as the leaves to the winds might.

Do the needs of your mind hold thy heart to ransom?

As the heedless calf to the hunters trap.

Do the hymns of Lucifer direct you to me?

That you may bind my arms with thongs of anguish.

Do the gleaming lights of my life blind you?

That you set open your reservoir of hatred upon me.

Do the soothing tunes of my voice deafen you?

That you station the torch of pain to my tongue.

I call on thee for thy lover hath taken Ill,

and she breathes her last breath as we speak.

OLUWATISE

When the year opened its arms to us,

faces wore smiles with good cause.

A robe of gladness we now adorn,

for a beautiful babe has just been born.

And she was called Oluwatise,

for God had elegantly crafted her like clay.

Undying love and support; we offer as our frankincense and myrrh,

a million gifts abound, whichever of which she may prefer.

INHIBITION

That I may ignite her member,

till it aches for the patriotic mast.

For she was not the ripest fruit in Eden,

but my flesh shall plough her fertile fields.

And she would yell out to the gods,

In a deep heated ecstasy.
