Truthful Lies – By Yaya Abayomi


My heart was lost long ago,
Only to be found in lust territory,
A step away from love kingdom
Those gorgeous houses are mine,
The bricks and mortars are of beautiful lies,
Deceptions are the solid foundations.

Mind not my words, come like a chameleon,
They are truthful lies...
Just to rule over your fragile heart 
My egos were camouflages
To dig deep into your virgin paradise,
To tour through your thighs 
Were my pleasurable missions...

Only if you could notice?
Lies wraps over my words
Deceptions embrace my steps
'I love you' 
Easiest phrase in my lexicon
My heart remains a wanted criminal...

Tell town crier of the day and cock to crow at dawn There is in my room Mushroom The one which witch wishes, Much there is in Mushroom Who says you are not much in pot? Tell them there is much, To those that do not know this world, even If thousands cannot full their will Tell you are the source for sauce Swelling husband’s head To swallow mounts of yam; pounded For those who know not Tell you are the ingredient Of wife in her spouse’s house No sauce without you Mushroom more source Source for sauce, A woman without happiness When much is not in the room Who says you are not holy? Tell them your cloth is white Tell them you are a saint Purely you appear to your beggars’ wishes.

Tell them You are the compass That architect thrill;

SCEPTRE OF LETTER - Ogunyomi Israel Abidemi

Carve it in lines, Not in marble; Sceptre of letters, Shaper of worlds. Paint it in gold, Not in silver; Sculpture of the sun, Giver of light. Keep it yet aflight, O spirits of winds, This dove of peace Must never be caged. Quench but not, blower of air, This flaming fire, insight of truth.  (For prof. Segun Adekoya)
