Fantastic Garden

Your breath intoxicating 

My heart drunk in you

Love swirls deep satisfaction 

Perfume chains you and me, us, we

Our making love is sensational 

Luxurious this amazing arousal 

Sensitivity speaks, ecstasy flows

Your embrace ignited 

Sizzling tingles throbbing 

Our bodies become a butterfly cascade

Spinal sensations release endorphins 

Inches away our lips collide 

Quickly our bodies collapse 

Loud echoes of pleasures sound

This is creates our fantastic garden

Two world's Alike

It was a rainy day, and the bus terminal was bustling with travelers rushing to their destinations. Among the crowd were two strangers, Amara and Jide. Amara had just graduated from college few years back with her fashion business her path way to billions, Amara was headed home after a stressful day to get clothing materials, while Jide was on his way back from his role as a manager for a big oil and gas firm.

As they waited for their buses which wasn't coming, They both decided to take a detour to get to their destination as time is of the essence, Amara with her baggages fought for Tired Jide to secure the last seat on a napep heading to Daleko. Amara and Jide struck up a conversation. At first, it was just small talk about the weather and their destinations, but soon they found themselves talking about their lives and ambitions. Amara talked about her dream of becoming a multi millionaire business woman, while Jide shared his passion for writing.

As they chatted, they realized they had a lot in common. Both had grown up in small towns and felt like outsiders in the big city. They both loved reading and shared a love for classic rock. Before they knew it, their buses arrived, and they said their goodbyes, promising to stay in touch.

Over the next few weeks, Amara and Jide exchanged emails and messages, discussing everything from their favorite books to their hopes and fears. They discovered that they had a deep connection and understanding of each other.

Months went by, and Amara landed a job in Jide's city. Excited to be closer to her newfound friend, she reached out to Jide, and they decided to meet up. They went to a local bookstore and spent hours browsing through the shelves, recommending books to each other and laughing at the silly titles.

Afterward, they went to a small café and shared stories over cups of coffee. It was then that they realized they had become great friends, thanks to their chance meeting at the bus terminal at Mushin on a rainy day.

Over the next few years, Amara and Jide's friendship blossomed. They shared many adventures, exploring new cities and trying new foods. They were there for each other through thick and thin, celebrating each other's successes and supporting each other through tough times.

As they sat on a bench in a park, watching the sunset, Amara turned to Jide and said, "You know, it's funny to think that we met at a bus terminal. If it weren't for that chance encounter, we might have never become friends."

Jide smiled and replied, "I know. But I'm glad we did. You're one of the best things that's ever happened to me."

Amara felt a warm feeling in her heart, knowing that Jide felt the same way she did. They sat in comfortable silence, watching the sky turn from orange to pink to purple, grateful for the unexpected friendship that had blossomed from a simple conversation at a bus terminal.

MY MUSLIMAH

 Doubt I felt when, this year,

I heard her voice;

Confused. Shocked. I thought
I had failed her.

However, happiness hones me —

Gifted with a milky object from within.

Naughtiness is the language of her body.

A moment with her brightens my thoughts.

Her smiles would heal an ill nation.

She is a rose for whom I spite other flowers.

Unbeknownst to her, my inner self of true feeling.

Scared to touch her each time I come close.

A mirage, to me, she appears.

But she endows me spiritually, with reminders of solat —

My adhan, straight from Allah.

Yet unaware, she glows away darkness.


Innocence

is what i see every time I gaze,

Every time she looks away.

She's that artifact a man would like to own

She's like the cloud we can see, but can't touch;

Mature enough to make me a platonic friend,

But that is not all I ever wanted.

MOMENT IN LOVE

 



It all began,
With my thoughts in words,
My words in rhymes,
My rhymes in love,
And my love in you.

If anyone asks you,
Tell them I'm a little mad,
Say I looked for you,
At the bottom of every bottle,
Hoping to find happiness,
Cause I miss you bad.

If anyone asks you,
Just say the sun forgot to shine,
And the earth stood still,
Say happiness exists still,
And I found mine at the bottom of a labeled bottle,
Which label reads your name.

If anyone asks you,
Tell them I've been drinking all year,
Now I'm drunk to stupor,
Not of alcohol however,
But for the love you showered on me.

If anyone ask you,
Tell them I've been smoking for decades,
For reason unknown,
Until I met you,
My sight was bright as sun,
And reason so clear as star,
That which have been smoking,
Was your love wrapped in rizzla.

If anyone ask you,
Tell them I've been writing,
For a particular reason,
That glued our fate,
Make us mate,
Just to start with a date,
Maybe at this rate,
Our love would escalate,
To a level we procreate,
For our family to relate,
Leading us to celebrate,
What we just created.

If anyone ask you,
Just tell them what we Feel,
Is fireproof.

AWOKEN NIGHT

Of all the dames,
She was dear,
With smiles on lips,
I was lost in love,
But what she felt,
I know not.


In a period of time,
I heard the whisper,
It came in words,
And words in thought,
That what I seek,
Was what I'd get.


Like the fool I am,
It all began,
Like air is to human,
I'm glued to her,
Like fuel is to car,
We became inseparable.


With dawn upon,
I soon realize,
That with these progress,
She'd soon be gone,
To a life so far away.

Yet from the start,
She was never mine,
I fell like a ghost,
Without her smile,
And her cozy stare,
That melts my soul.


I wanted a night,
So close to her,
Just a cuddle
Was what I seek,
Like a disease,
She refrain from me,
And moved north,
When I headed south,
And moved west,
When I headed east.


While her pushes
Tagged me a thief,
Who had come
To claim it all.


The happiness grown,
a few months back,
But my only aim
Was a moment with her,

I was woke at dawn,
With a kiss on lips,
And her penetrating gaze,
Upon my soul,
At this moment,
My conviction was convicted,
That come rain and shine,
She'd still be here,
And no matter what,
She'd be glued to me...

DEAR FROM AFAR

Olajide Oladipo

Hello my dear from the rear,

My feelings for you i bear, 

But all i offer to you is a pear,

Just for you to appear, 

A feign look you wear,

But my courage you geared,

All my effort this year,

Will all but not quell,

Oh! my pearl,

A stallion i'm to your mare,

Emotion seen in care,

But i know the time is near,

And you'd have to adhere,

That cupid is here,

To bless our heir,

A peer we earn,

 Destiny Mtika

Awww! Hello my dear from a far place,

Though worlds apart we are,

Still we together are inclined,

Like the pairs of the eyes blinking together,

So we exchange texts checking on each other,

The feeling of loneliness that use to cling on me then,

No longer exits because you embrace each day with thy sweet melodies.

Olajide Oladipo 

Mars I'd be to your Venus,

Cupid is there to bond us,

Heir is ours to flaunt with,

Every moment would be explain in books,

Every sound record as album,

And act will be directed as a season movies,

For this is our story on infinity Love

 

WHAT SHE'S NOT

Confused and attracted is how I feel, 

That began the story the day I met she, 

For I was mesmerized from she's not,
She's no sun yet she's glow,
She's no moon yet she's bright,
She's no angel yet she beautiful,
She's no tailor yet she mend my heart,
She's no potter yet mold my home,
She's no coach yet I'm her world best player,
She's no lecturer yet I learn from her,
She's no star yet she shine,
She's no number yet she's my perfect 8,
She's that diamond every man what to own, 

Yet my lack of resourcefulness and timidity divest me from her....

II

To her I'm but like a glass, cause all of me is so vivid to her,
She's no detective but she knows my crimes,
She just convicted me recently to a life of love so far away,
She's the reason I'm quick to wake when I go to bed,
She's the reason I'm full of emotion,
Yet so hungry to love.

MY ANNABELLE

Smiles on lips,
Just like tulips,
Calm in face,
Just like a dove,
Yet heart blazing,
With fire within.


Of all zodiac,
She's as proud as queen,
And of all animal,
She represent the king,
Her roar she'd believe,
Could end the world,
But her thought to me all just in words.


Heart of a lion friendly like a dog,
And her presence attract all in hall,
From which she'd learn to reject,
Iridescent looks and intelligent brain,
What she possess became another possession.


Not in "fact" but yet in thought,
Thoughts of words,
Words of mind,
Yet unspoken truth.


For if the words are let out,
It will be the basis of rise or death,
Rise to grace but dead at heart,
For those who'd dare,
It the story of another tale.


Yet when  it all seem true,
Perhaps too true to be real,
Making me so me that I'd love to be someone else,
And so vulnerable I'd need to hide,
Hide from truth,
The truth in me and the me in I,
But the knowledge of she is what I'd keep at heart,
And the friendship I'd value for life.

Good Friday

Life stress for some is measured day by day,

And it accomplishment for most is in disarray,

This is the story of a good friday,

Which promised all but a boring day, (hectic)

As the anchors disengage all the ships,

Captains are expecting the worst with prayer for the best,

Truth be told it all started as planned,

From grass to grace,

The day kicked it journey towards night,

And the muse left us all bemused, Our worst distraction in place,

Our major obstacle yet to be seen,

With lack of attention,

like an empty shell we sat and stare,

Not at him but in our mind, to find answers to unknown questions,

Without paying any heed he continued as planned,

But to our surprise his presence was short lived,

Not for us, nor to balance the inadequacy he created,

Rather to satisfy the mother of all habit.

Which ought to be always respected for who she was,

As she comfort those in need, And care for those indeed (demand),

Lady most would think, but laziness I know her to be,

As we were left to uncover what to come next,

Test we'd hope, but note we receive with a little saddened news,

That what we'd hope to get will be washed with the tide of the sea,

Not too far away,but far enough to be seen from afar,

With looming concern it became so clear,

Of the catastrophic coalition that had occur,

Same time different phenomenon,

How are we to survive the conspiracy against us,

Their force we fear was more than we can handle,

But their love we never know was more than they portray,

These night cloud has blinded our gaze toward hoping for the best.

But all in all, it was more than we'd hope for,

With smiles on most face it was labelled a good friday,

With rest of mind I stirred my ship home,

Not however alone but with cronies I hold dear to heart,

As we engage in witty words and funny jokes,

All on my mind was, what is to come,

Cause the hope I have and the strength I hold are what will see me through,

My present predicament, known to none,

With that in mind all I did was fraternize with cronies,

Feign looks accessing the growth of most,

When she returned I was embedded in cloths of jealousy,

While trying to so hard to adjust to my playboy attitude,

With lots of unspoken words we part our ways,

Not in kind but with doubts,

That which none would love to share with the other,

I decide to forgo that with refuge from my hommies,

Who I'd believe gat my back always,

But all effort was to be short lived,

As the sound of my phone was as audible as ever,

The voice on the other end could all but remind me of my predicament. (Dyv call)

But as all hope was almost lost,

There she is, my friend, my nemesis, my antagonist Who had made me smile for every moment spent with her than sadden my world,

Our friendship based on similar attribute, of laziness, social, sexual maturity and relative with people.

But her trait seem not to be the focus of these writing rather her deeds,

The good ones to be precise,

As she alight from the black seldan,

So has the angel who would save my day, been my usual self,

Connected with her and we related on how things goes,

Then she'd surprise me by solving my initial doubt,

With a rush of happiness I was speechless,

Yet in truth I remain composed,

Pretending it all mean little to me,

When it actually mean the world to me,

We had a little stroll and gist like we always do,

But with the aftermath I asked myself,

To what extend can a player be played,

And to what length can a lover be lost,

Now I see reason for my trust issue,

People trust because they have no reason no to.
