Omolola

Omolola mi
Because of you, I can trek from Awe all
the way to Sabo
From the jungles of Akinmoorin
to the slums of Isale-Oyo,
Even if you want,
I can forsake my beloved fufu for noodles.


The love I have for you
is more than be careful.
Although my eyes are pushing me
I will bravely face any member of your clan
The seed of love you planted in my heart
has turned to a great tree of affection
Even the giant Iroko will be dwarfed.

Paraprosexia Like a thorn in the side Always present Yippee, what can I do Way too much Intoxicated by you Till dusk or dawn Here with me My constant distraction Enigma, the one I love

Keys and Strings

Astonished I am By thine comely grace Lush green leaves swaying in the breeze All hang their apex in jealousy When you walk by The midday sun is it as hot As your cool beauty. Awesomeness is your birthright Omidan, Arẹwà Ọmọge míì. I don't know how to play the harp I'd have sing to you With the strings. And I can't play the piano I'd have made you blush With the keys. All I know is lines I hope my lines are strong enough To reel you in. To me, Mine and mine alone. There is love in sharing, But I can't share my love. I'm the sole proprietor here.  Ridwan Akinkunmi Àjàgbé. Abu Marwan (Sophocles) 

The Great Fire

Consuming all in it’s path Sprinting around with energy abound Shapeless like an ameoba Burning twigs, hides, fur and skin Destroying everything it touches Licking the ground clean Insatiable, more victims it want Leaving desolation in it’s wake Making landlord homeless And the homeless hopeless Fiery body of destruction Grey, colourless and white ashes Marking it’s trail Melting iron And boiling steel The great fire consumes all And spare none. I seek refuge in the Lord From the evils of the fire.
