“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.

From 1 to 359, I have uploaded poems and stories on this blog. This is my 360th blog post. So you can say that I have completed a complete revolution. 360°.
Wow. From heartfelt birthday messages, tear-inducing heartbreak poems, scary poems and stories, love poems, the occasional rantings, and the singular erotic stories. It has been one hell of a ride.
Post number 360. And I am not writing poetry nor spinning a suspense-filled tale. I am here to rant. And upload pictures. And say my thanks.
First and foremost, I give thanks to Almighty Allah who has given me the opportunity to be alive to do this.
To everyone who has been with me since post 001, I am very grateful for the opportunity to write for you.
To everyone that joined me halfway, I am very grateful.
To amazingink, To marieabd, and to every one of the guest writers I’m sincerely grateful for the ride.
To Nimota, Rabiu Aisha, and Teemah Bakar: Thank you for always going through my works and leaving comments.
To Shaka Muslihat and Soyoye Oreoluwa, thanks for always keeping me motivated.
And finally to Soyoye Oreoluwa, thanks for always going through the poems offline, online, and every other line in between.

I Love You
This feeling of completeness and joy i feel anytime I talk to you can’t be explained in words.
Actions they say, speak volumes.
Because words can be misleading.
I love you as far as the eye can see and far beyond.
I love you as far as the ear can hear and far beyond
Saying it won’t make it more real
And hiding it won’t make it less real.
I love you so much baby

You’re my sunshine
I have a million things to say to you;
A thousand thoughts moving round my skull;
I have a trillion things bothering me;
But your affairs is always the priority.
Sanctimonious thoughts plague my life.
Overwhelming tribulations weigh me down,
But all I want,
All I ever needed,
Was for you be safe, sound and happy.
You deserve to be happy.
You’re my sunshine.
My only sunshine.
Two great lessons I gathered from watching you;
Size doesn’t affect greatness.
Small in stature you are,
But still, you dwarfed everyone around you.
The second one is cliché already;
Your intelligence is reviving.
And your beauty deadly.
What a wonderful combination of super powers.

To new beginnings (Happy birthday)
New beginnings don’t necessarily mean the eradication of the old. At least, that is what I think.
Decades ago,
On this same date; August 20.
I was born.
Or so I was told.
I started this last year,
And here we are, still not complete.
I guess like the earth I’m living on
Nothing is constant. Always moving.
Constantly changing.
It’s my birthday,
But no new year, new me crap.
At least, not this year.
There are more important things,
Like what exactly?
Happy new year (.
Happy birthday (August 20) to me.

In all ways, always
In all ways, always
The sun is shining
So I decided to make hay
It gets all shining
And I can’t wait for the next day
Thunderstorms rode across the sky
“it will calm in a bit”
I’m gay, I’m so fly
My future is here in a bit
But the floodgates opened
And it rained seas and oceans
All hay destroyed
All my plans and efforts wasted
Just when I thought it is okay
Night fell
Completely lost, but I found a thread
Slowly, I ascend out of the labyrinth
He created me
And He guided me to the straight path
In all ways, always
I’ll be forever thankful
