Into Another World


Give me the opportunity to speak my mind
For I'm already in another world
Five me the chance to speak what is within me
For I'm not in the world i used to be
Open your arms and get me clutched
Before i run out of control
I have no definition for love but
I know it conquers all
I have no description of love but
I know it turns black to white
I know not the odour of love but
I know it smells greater than spikenard
I know not the value of love but
I know it is more precious than sardius
Two lovers make meddlers busy
As coral makes jeweller busy
One without love will always be a sapling but
Love makes you sapient
A single nan can't be sanguine
For his life is not as real as illusion
A romantic relationship is like chrysolite:
It is clear and defined;
It also has solutions to problems
For it turns to saraband
In days of tribulations
And afflictions.
Love smells better than calamus
And it can't be done without
A life sans love is an empty barrel
For there is no Jewel in it
Lonely life sapped both body and soul.
I will rather love than to hate
For love takes one into another world:
A world without worry;
A world enclosed with ecstasy.

Yoruba names for some animals & birds

The article, a very popular one, had a mere 431 total views during the seven months of that year but would subsequently attract 1,640 views (2014); 2,868 views (2015); 2,822 views (2016) and in 2017 to date, there have been 1,872 views – a grand total of 9,633 views. There have been questions about “Yoruba name for igun”; “… hoopo bird called in Yoruba”; “… aluko and agbe birds in Yoruba culture”; “the English name of eye akalamagbo”; “What is the English of eye kowe”, and many others. At the end of the list, there are a couple of references, and more can be found through Google. PLEASE NOTE: Spellings often dif...
