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

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 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
