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....

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.

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) 

Idris Momodu

To Idris Momodu Abu-mardiya Humility personified My first impression of thee Amiable, calm and smiling No wonder when girls see you Scream they do with glee Chicken, turkey, plantains and fish frying Your mirthful specialty Hardworking playful scholar Rare combination in anyone An avid supporter of blues Active enzyme of progress Momodu Co-A You're more than a friend Definitely family What I have learnt from you-who hasn't Myriad of things of important You know I have a sister And she is still single. # SOPHOCLES
