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".

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.

Farmer's love

During tears and wears, I'll be with you No mixed feeling, not unlike morning dew Just know I'm yours. High or low. I'll write you a love song, ink deepest blue Describing you from head to toe My pen running around the pages, covered in hue Any iota of doubt, weed it out All lumps of distrust, lemme get a plough These feelings of love, irrigate it Your trust in me, let's fertilize it I want to harvest you in all your glory Love maximization is my only aim Take me for who I am This is a farmer's love The poem may be horrible I know But that's my best you know I speak in cutlass, hoe and feed This is a farmer's love.... #SOPHOCLES
