Birthday Girl

To a special human,
Born on the eleventh moon,
A native of the rocky village,
But bred and tutored in the land of the brown roofs.
Born in the South,
And schooled in the North,
She’s a true daughter of the soil.

Happy birthday my  wonderful friend, sister;
confidant, colleague, business partner;
gist sharer, smart talker and my twin sister.

I love you like the moon does the sun,
And I wish you the very best of this year,
And the next,
And the next,
From now till forever!
I pray that the Lord Almighty grant you all your heart desires.
I pray that the Lord Almighty perfect your life, marriage, career, and family.

Happy birthday Oreoluwa Oyinloluwa.

Happy Birthday, Oreoluwa!

Decades ago, a beautiful angel was sent down to Earth to mingle among humans. This angel is one of God’s special gift. An angel of immeasurable confidence, gargantuan social skills, divine intelligence, and unspeakable beauty.

When this angel came to be a human. She retained all her heavenly qualities and added more. The imperfections of the human skin made her perfect. Oh! And can she disturb.

Oh.. This piece is not only about how she’s perfect. It’s also about how much of a troublesome fellow she is. Oyinloluwa. The honeyed daughter of the Soyoye Clan.

Oreoluwa. The loving wife of the Akiode Clan. This is your day. Your moment of immense breakthrough is finally here.

I rejoice with you today, tomorrow, and forever!

Happy birthday to you my dear friend. You’re loved as much as a human can love.

The Voices #3

Nightmares in daytime,
And sleepless nights.
Waring emotions,
And destructive notions!
So I decided to talk it out.
The Voices in my head made for good companion.

They call it madness,
I call it evolution!

A Coward In Love

I fell in love at the worst time.
I was smitten when I was still a coward.
Scared of uncertainties,
Disdainful of the future,
And scared of rejection.

I loved you like no other.
I ran away from certain responsibilities.
I needed you. Wanted you.
But I couldn’t go further.
Couldn’t go for what I knew was mine.
I loved you, like a boy loves.

Now, I’m a man.
And I feel like I’ve lost you.
I wanted to do things differently,
But the time have changed
You have changed.
The situation has changed.

There’s honey in your name,
And you are the sweetest human I know,
Your words.
Your care.
Your emotions.
You showed me love.
You displayed sweetness.
You’re the epitome of perfection.

I messed up once,
And you took me back.
I promised to do more.
To be better.
To make things nicer.

I stopped saying this.
But my face tells you,
My actions speaks volumes.
You’re awesome.
And for ever and ever.
I’ll always love you.

No labels


This one is for you,
Ebony beauty of proportional proportions,
Your electrocuting smile of a thousand megawatts,
Your face calls to me,
Your smile pulls me to you!

I know we had an agreement,
To put no labels,
But all I want,
When your beautiful shines,
Is to pull you  close,
And never let you go.

How about you give me much more
And see me worship you like a goddess

Still you

I don’t want to sing your praises,
Your face made me.
I don’t plan on writing this poem,
The lines came to me.
I have eradicated thoughts of love,
But your personality made me.

And even though I didn’t plan it,
This poem gets better.
You won’t want to blush too much,
Because your mum stalks.
I don’t want to stop this flow,
Unless you reassure me.

I’ll fancy you for a millennium,
And admire you for another century.
Flash me that electric smile,
Let it flow through my subconscious,
For another eternity.
The ink is still dripping,
For the hot sauce that you are!

Falling and Failing

Hot tears streaked down my cheeks. The rivulets of water soaked my beard till they can’t hold anymore. I took a mirror and looked at my face for a very long time. All I saw was sorrow, emptiness, and a boy just trying to exist.

And for a very long time I’ve been managing. But I don’t think I can continue like this. I don’t want this to continue. I wish it would all end.

Yes, I was deeply in love. Yes, she was the best thing that happened to me in a long time.

Yes, she wants me to let go. Yes, I want her to be happy. So, the fact that I want it to end, I’ll never tell her.

Yes. Life goes on. But can I keep up?

Oreoluwa

A fair maiden of preternatural beauty,
If mermaids were real, you’d be the queen!
Fresh like the morning dew.
Mere words move mortals,
But for an out-of-the-world beauty like you,
Only carefully chosen ode can appeal.

Oyinloluwa says you are sweet,
But not that sweetness whick kills!
The one that invigorates.

Oreoluwa says you’re an answered prayer,
For anyone and all,
Whom are blessed to gaze upon your face.

Idowu says you’d go to any length for me,
You’d fight all my wars if need be.
For you are one beautiful Guardian Angel!

Paparazzo

“smile at the camera baby”
Eases out of those wonderful lips,
Gazing upon thee bring smiles,
But whenever you requested it
The influence of happiness is second to none.

“move your head to the left a little”
I’d move mountains for you,
So what’s a little tilting of the head,
Or a casual glance to the left.

I can have a thousands pictures on my phone,
But the most handsome ones,
Are the one you capture.
Papa’s personal pretty paparazzo

My Only Sunshine

Funny how life goes,
Trees seek sunlight,
Animals seek nutrients
But when it comes to you
I need no sunlight and nutrients
You are all the nutrients I need to prosper
The solution to all my problems,
The answer to all my questions,
The hotspot to my wifi connection,

Unexpected circumstances arose,
Now you’re turning the sunlight to darkness,
The Hydrochloric Acid to my ulcer.

Hey Sunshine,
Shine your love on me.
