WHEN DREAM SMILES - BY ADURAGBEMI BARNABAS


When dream smiles,
The thousand acred journeys is in a mile
Hope and strength resuscitated once again
Mind is open as of eagle to see the future
Rocks designed for man's fall metamorphosed
Even to a stepping stone to greatest altitude
Tears of blood from a wounded heart turn to spring of joy
The trivial bicycle runs faster than aeroplane
The inclement cloud releases the breeze of comfort
The topsy-turvy mind sees the narrow path
Old rules unarguably pave way to new ones.

When dream smiles,
The flag of trust flutters uninterruptedly
And power acknowledged the veracity of power
Absence of war with the nature is the conventional wisdom
Beggars of the highway become a lender to the low man
There's always an appetite to win the coin of opportunity.


When dream smiles,
Equality is pronounced and unity in diversity
Representatives of minds minister with fear of the morrow
Brains will be appreciated as fertilizers to the nation
Head will not be the source of pain to other parts
The eclipsed joy of liberty tintinabulate once again
There will always be a way to resolve the hiccups
Positions and privileges will not alchemize to cat-o-nine-tails
Commoners' point of view will be previewed and approved
There will be no need of panting for waters in oceans
Effort will be rewarded in its due season.

When dream smiles,
Erosion of blood for popular recognition will be a thing of the past
There will be no need of saviour in other continent
Exploiters' conscience act as judge to curb their excesses
Neighbour's nakedness will be a concern of all to cover
Faction will not glory in ruination of reign.

When dream smiles,
The fragile heart will not be fool again
Unassailable truth of wedlock will not be murdered
The blissfulness of valentine will be extended to other days
The golden rule will be applicable to the uprooted rose
And there will be no smiling in the drowning tears of others.

Let dream smile,
Not like those that cause crystal cry
But those in which replenishment lie
So that skeleton can wear the cloth of flesh
And be freed from grave that ministers in stench
Then the downgraded race can run faster than yacht.



WORLD BARNABAS.

FOR MY LOVE - By Abdulwaheed Olaniyi

I have dived in the mystic ages of your heart, Dreamed  in the silent heart of the night, Envisaged our union Through the binocular rainbow of your eyes. Ayo, I looked through the eyes of the sky, gazing at your rainbow from afar, I lingered to touch the sky, but the cloud held my eyes to hug your heart. If cloud seals my eyes to see your face, My heart echoes the sonorous song of my lines to you And my mind's eyes can view your beauty. Let my love continue to breathe in the gentle shore of your heart. © Abdulwaheed Olaniyi 2019
