love birds

A white pigeon meets a black pigeon on a fence.
The white pigeon cooed at the black pigeon.
Undisturbed, the black pigeon feigned innocence.
"why would she not coo back, we're of the same species"
Reasoned the white pigeon on the fence.
"coo one more time and I'll fly to your nest"
Thought the black pigeon on the fence.
Coo coo coo, cooed the white pigeon on the fence
Coo, replied the blank pigeon on the fence.
Lithe gracefully and smart, danced the white pigeon flying close to the fence.
The black pigeon sitting on the fence danced too
"let's meet on the roof" cooed the white pigeon
The white pigeon and the black pigeon flew to the roof, looking peaceful
"so wetin you want from me" asked the black pigeon in pidgin
'the ultimate price in this world, You" replied the white pigeon in English
Coo coo coo, cried the black pigeon.
And the white pigeon replied
"Two bodies one feeling, two minds one thought, two hearts one love"
"forever?" asked the black pigeon
And the white pigeon smiled and replied
"Till infinity and beyond".

Full of hope joy and expectations Celebrating the arrival of my messiah It is you I have been waiting for Grinding to a halt feelings of despair Until I heard the story That saddens me Makes me feel minute Inconsequential Unwanted I am Just a little boy, immature Then I buckle my belt Through thick and thin Rain and snow, my aim is you I'll fight for my glory. #SOPHOCLES #Ayoife

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.

Dictator

             To the speeding lecturer Like the cheetah in the jungle your nature is running Albeit with your mouth Perhaps, hot yam is pressed against your tongue speeding across the pages of the book my pen is restless numb with pain of trying to keep up with the parade of your word 'come again' sir?' "hmm" "na wa o" echoes across the hall But like the black faced old bat you are deaf to the sound Old fashioned Sticking to old notes the same used by my grannies in college now i know why you are a profesor you taught them all with the same old note Forever speeding, never explaining... #SOPHOCLES
