Ballon d'Or
because i know my days are numbered
like football jersey
i run with the single purpose
of netting the ball in the net
soon, this 90 years
of running around the sales pitch
hustling
from post to post
dribbling
past obstacles swift and slow
falling
on hay and dust
rising
unto green grasses
heading
the weight of it all
'chesting'
out the hurt ..read more

Restraint

The Timeline Of InexistenceWriting:
"I write to let out the deafening voices in my head"
a boy finds closure in poetry shrouded with bits of real events, he paints demons with rainbow hues whip angels for flawlessness and make man moan 'mortality merely mean nothing, we gods! we gods! gods we are!the world applauds his pen mastery, crowns him muse of muses and anoint his alter ego with ..read more

BECAUSE MY PASTOR DON'T KNOW IT ALL
Be flexible in your opinions, thoughts, religiosity and churchiness.
This, apparently, is what my pastor lacks.
We live in a world that's fast changing. A world where cultures are shifting and technological advancement is taking a leap.
Yet, a certain preacher man has decided to sink his pious feet in the 18th century and he's 'heaven bent' on ..read more

The Last Butterfly
"Poor little butterfly," the young girl said. "Poor little butterfly."
Then reaching down slowly so as to not scare it away, she slid her tiny fingers underneath, urging it to step upon her hand.

dear me,
why do you think about the moments
that would succeed your departure?
why do you feel more clarity
than you've have never felt after birth
in the beautiful peace that succeeds death?
why?
you will not be freed from the voices,
from the pain,
from yourself
you'll get trapped,
as always,
in the bud of time
truth is,
you can be struggling
and still be ..read more

since you left...
our bed hurts without you

there's absence of laughter
even the city's lost its fiesta
and life is now lifeless
since you left

Stephanie,
don't let no one despise you
keep you head up high
don't lose yourself to another's shadow
be you
and whenever you do that dance,
do you
may your new age brew beautiful memories

The one country I'd love to visit or live in outside Nigeria is Jamaica. It used to be the Bahamas though, but for Rihanna and her shakara. Mtchew!
So, option two: Jamaica! YES! I love the island of Rastafarians.
Do I hear an invitation to come over and read/perform my works?
And there will be this super cool reggae music playing in the background while I read a patwa spiced poem ..read more
