Solitude

By
Just a smile

Or a good natured grin

Is all I need

To make my day splendid.


But I detest company

Want to be left alone.

All my life,

I’ve wanted to grow older

So I can finally be free.


It gladdens my heart

And excites my soul

The long conversations

I have with myself


Moving through the jungle of people

Scanning for a homely face

Like looking in a haystack for a needle

This is not my place


But there’s a day coming

That I will be surrounded by friends and family

But 6 ft deep in the soil

Alone, isolated and separated forever

My eternal dream of solitude

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.

I have always marveled at the beauty of fire. The way things radiate when burning. The movement of the flames always look beautiful. Fire is sexy and I derive pleasure in watching things burn. The smooth way in which the flames engulf objects is amazing and fire never burns the same. Fire is beautiful, unpredictable and beautiful. Fire cleanse, it removes impurities. I started lighting things up for fun when I was a teenager, the exact age of which I could not remember now. I remembered the time I failed a test, I went back home and brought out a box of matches and lit the test scripts on fire. The joy I felt when the papers burnt erased the sorrow of failing the test. And the climax came when the score burnt. 62/70 looked beautiful when the flame erased the terrible score. Fire erase imperfections. After that incident, I just need to find reason to light things up. When I am happy, I start a fire. When sad, that is a reason to start fire. Anytime I feel depressed, the smell of burni...
