Ode to Ejire

Image
O Ẹ̀jìrẹ́, thou my Yoruba deity, Can thou make my home thy abode? To thou alone I revered my fealty; So thou can bring joy as-told, Ẹ̀jìrẹ́ thou humbled the foreign gods, When thou came in as ethereal lords From generations, thy visits were rare; Taiyelolu - Omokehinde, the supreme heirs, Ẹ̀jìrẹ́ knocks and unhurriedly come in pairs, Ẹ̀jìrẹ́, thou echoes through my ancestors quire, Though the earth ravaged, albeit the heaven bound Just for Ẹ̀jìrẹ́ the trumpet and the lyre sound, Ẹ̀jìrẹ́ let me enchant thy lineage, Thou from ages commune with my ancestors; The praises of thy courage. Thy births command attention. Ẹ̀jìrẹ́ thou anointed with golden crown, When thou came in to my clansmen town I learnt this from ancient Sacrament, Ẹ̀jìrẹ́ the beautiful of all angels, "Ẹ̀jìrẹ́ ará ìṣokún, Ẹdúnjobí Ọmọ ẹdun, tíí ṣeré orí igi" Passed down through a parchment, The chosen divine Archangels, Ẹ̀jìrẹ́ let me sing of thy

Goddess i Sought

Image
I was a lone wolf of a decent breed, Without the park, I denied my hunting creed; After the shadows of the goddess of my dreams, Wantonly charmed by her daunting streams. A glimpse was all I saw; When thou laid nestling by the shore; Thy voice charmed me to a softly fall, Beyond this shadow I pray for more; Show me the entrance to thy abode; Let thy petals to my touch unfold, I will honour thy bids as divine duty; O'ye the embodiment of beauty, Even if it's for a thousand years, let it be; Let thy immortality entangle me; I will set the course to thy sanctuary, Where thy awesomeness deeply rooted naturally, I plunged ahead on this uncharted course, I swam deeply through her terrestrial cores; Pleasure, hatred - Still I chanted along, Those names I learnt from an aging song. By thy shore, I will wait, But not so long to be late; Till thy shadows become real, Unfettered to thy spell-bound seal. Poem: “Godde

Mother's Arms

In your arms  That's where am safe  Mum.. Within your palms  You made me so brave...  In this lonely world  I know I have you,  Sent from heaven and from God  You are my Angel so true...  With your tender smiles  Everything seems beautiful  I can go on more and more miles  Cos you make my life meaningful  Poem: “Mother’s Arms” by Olorunleke Odubote

No Where to Hide

Image
No where to hide  Love has finally found me  So gentle now become the tide  Boundless love all over me, It located me like the sun, No where to hide; So refreshing like the dawn, Giving life to the feelings that died. Loving you is like a melody  Like a symphony, you are adorable  I feel like have found the one, Angel Agbeke is irreplaceable  Loving you is part of me  "Agbeke you are my breath"  Its not fake, its so real  With Your touch, i melt  Can't explain it to you, This feeling boiling within, Its so pure and true  Agbeke my heart bidding.

Be Close

Image
Open the door, gently He knocks  Invite Him in, un-bolt the locks  God wants you close  Feel as His mercy flows...  You are the apple of His eye  Never will He make you cry,  All He want is for you to be upright  And He will make everything alright  Day and night, pls always pray  Read some psalms when no to say  So God can hear you from your heart  And shew you mercy from His might,  Think of His love and obey His laws  And He will open to you all His mercy doors,  From His glory you will dwell in light  No more sorrow and a lonely night  Poem: “Be Close” by Olorunleke Odubote

My Smiling One

Image
Agbeke when I met you  I felt something new,  The love is so true  Like a fresh morning dew;  When I asked you out  You asked me why you,  Words ceased from my mouth,  Ladies of your likes are quite few;  You are the smiling one  Peaceful and beautiful  You are the charming one  So pretty and wonderful  We spent times together  We play, pray and all the likes,  You promised 2stay forever  Even tho we argued and the likes  I love my smiling one  You are lovely and sweet  With such a beautiful soul  You are amazing and cute  Poem: “My Smiling One” by Olorunleke Odubote

Before we turn to Dust

Image
Driving home, ... Paris bound ! "Far from Rome" ...  From my radio sound. Screeching cries, By religious scythe; Swollen eyes, From the terrorist bites. Those tasty flies, Savoring thy chaos wine Bloodlust and lies; Blindly they toll their line. From dust we came, Now the dust we blame, Why hurried them to dust? This world is already lost. Plenty cries from plateau, From their bloodlust battles, The wailings echoed from Yola, The leaders only after the dollar. Give us back our girls, So we can roll back the tears, The stench of death haunts, Our earth bleeds and hurts. Must we now fight, To always make it right; ... The children are in fright- Waiting for the light. I pray for peace, Love and trust Unity and bliss; Before we turn to dust. Poem: “Before we turn to Dust” by Olorunleke Odubote

When i got the Yes

Image
It was on a Saturday,  The first one In 2014 December, I can't wait for another day; This has to be a moment to remember  "The sunshine of my life  Tender your beauty strive  I'll love you forever I swear  A cultured woman I found so rare" I woke fresh and strong, Even after a long night of partying  Kept pondering, what if am wrong; And she said no after so much worrying ! "I bless the day we met  On timmy street on earth  I bless the day you said YES  You were beautiful in your satin dress" I picked up the ring Pondering how best it would fit, Should I propose with a string? While I kneel at her feet... "The sunshine of my life  Can you be my blessed wife?  Hand-in-hand to the aisle  Joyously to a wedding dine" I called and told her to visit, So we could take cream at the Coldstone; After persuasion, with yes but a limit, Not tasting, while I hid the crystal-stone; &qu

Agbeke Ogo

My Lady Agbeke Ogo My beautiful Agbeke , Have told you countless of times, That you are the only Olori I love , My clansmen are full of envy, Of how lucky I am; Even those isokan brothers; wondered why an Angel can love a thug like me!! Thunderstorms or the Snowflakes..  Don't worry, you have me; Pleasure times, earthly-quakes, Just don't mince, am ready . You don't have to call, I can feel your heartbeat; You can never fall, Don't fret, am your superman; Have told you countless of times, That I love you more than you know; Even before I said those lines, Have been loving you from the womb. It's the 12th day after our anniversary; Almost the 12th hour after you said "I do" Now I recall the victory over thy adversary; When I gallantly won you from their piercing fangs. Agbeke let me sing you this song, With the strings I will play all night long, Which I read from an ethereal parchment

When we were Youth

Image
Youthful age is minutely dwindling, Thy blossom flesh about to quake, Those hair will be golden twinkling, When thy erection unhurriedly wake, Far and far above my youthful age, My reflection a mirage of decade tours, Powder and strings I counter the image, But nature knocks and it strongly calls, A time past thy breast stood and firm, In thy magnificent swinging hips, Clinging to the woos of my humble clans men, As you tease with thy Crimson lips, Thy eyes twinkled with light, When you brace wildly on your partner hood, On countless trip to promiscuous height, Thou has traversed numerous intimate mood  I boldly carry scars from tongues and scythes, From numerous battles I sometimes lost and won, But loosing youthfulness stings and bites, I toast to my gallantry since I was born. A time past thy chest boast of muscles, When thou graciously pounced like a lion, Thou rise and set with sun in daily hustles, With you, a scor

Illuminated Minds

Image
For the illuminated minds, Those with unfettered hearts, Lets unwind our mortal minds To those of the Seraphim's paths, I know I will die someday, Certainly with immortal legacy. It won't be a mourn-day; Living forever may be a heresy Let me then live like the sun, And flourish like Eden flower, Endless pleasures thy ethereal songs, Blossom swiftly from thy chamber's tower We can have more moral nuptials sex, Sanely consuming youthful lust, Till our souls climb to rest; Even before those flesh turns to dust; What can I have left of you? Only those unwritten memories we savoured; Poem : “Illuminated Minds” by Olorunleke Odubote
