"THE COIN" - By Ojuade Lukman


Your majesty, Eureka!
I know the right route
there down the one path
we all ought follow.
Ah me! Never be resolute young ‘kurd’
your preparatory age is yet maleficent.
I shall acquaint proper data
into your mentation
to reform the data formed in your common presence-With my genuine soul
always remember life as a coin.
These are the wiseacre of the intelligentsia
Good-Evil
Beauty-Beast
Esoteric-Superficial
Cosmos-Microcosm
Apollonius-Dionysius
Pythagoras-Socrates
Tut! Tut! Tut! your majesty,
my perplexity-young Kurd-wait- split the coin,
you'll find perspectives,
therein lies other routes.

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

When I burst the blood bearing balloon by lasting the love bond                     Rumbling beats and noise of wedding             ceremony envelopes the minutes...              It falls as solemn voice of agogo begins... Tell the obsolete long laughing sun; she is over efficient! Tell her to go! Her wet bed to find And rest alone! As once I dwelt when lifeless perfumed foam was my Juliet, tell her! I want the blue moon at crest! As I burst the blood bearing balloon by lasting love bond  Tell baba, now I want to be loyal; omo ekun, ...
