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 barr...

PEN

You are truly mightier than sword You are powerful than mongoose You stop wisdom from being moped And let knowledge gain momentum daily You enhance our identity By inventing John Hancock for us Your products are enigma to the fools But increase The understanding of the wire pullers No man has ever rued having it The invariant and invincible gift You invigorate wise ones And make fools As good as waste products The inviolate gift that kills and saves Small like wren,powerful than philtre To sooks,you give moral fibre Who would have been in Phi Beta Kappa If you have not been in existence? Open your ears Lend me your ears Energize my ball point Because to succeed is a must Oke Peter (c) 2014

Nigeria,a Place of Peace

A place of peace Sunny place and rainy place A place of harmony and peace Despite the varieties of tongues. The home of surplus With atmosphere of geniality Wide oceans,big lagoons Pungent smell from mighty forests Coolest breeze from heavy mountains A place of peace A country of puissance A gem unmatched by others Pulchritude of Africa Our progress,as fast as running punkah. Now the coast is clear No more hoodoo as leader No more jinx as driver Protem our prosaic side of life-YES But the despisers are blind to see this I'm here to puncture their confidence This is not a propitiation Nor exaggeration... The land of peace Yes,this is a place of peace Away I've been But I easily felt homesick for Nigeria Many are purgatory Turning visitors to slaves But you are a place of peace Treating all equally with peace A place systematically turning to haven With a feeling of joie de vivre Grokked by raven Geddit or doubting a place of peace?  Oke Peter...

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY

Roll back the curtain A supernova exploded A conundrum writer was born Cluster,a member missed Roll back the curtain The earth rejoiced These presaged a sempiternal poet He turns yokel to erudit Wake from your slumber My birthday is here I'll squander and splurge dinar The fragrance of lily is perceived An effulgent rave has started The goth is on My garb is on Hope your slop is on Oh!The sound of membranophone Come swig or sip beverage Come gulp galantine All on edge The party is on "Many happy returns You will lack no good things You will be a titan" All for the peerless icon Oke Peter(c) 2015

A Contest Snippet

Give me a couch And let me be your coach Consider my expressions as a titbit. He pretends to love you because You are a nymphet And he sees you as a numbile His love for you is not logical Loving me seems to be more viable Because my voice isn't gruff like his He was speechless When he heard of your music passion He knows that my bagpipes Produce the best tune He tried mimicking my castanets tune. But he's a complete ignoramus For our wedding party, I promise of a buffet party With real banquet With him,you are a cadaver But with me,a baobab Because he's a pleb I'm not getting him slurred You knew he's a sluggard He is also a cad He said he owns a maisonette But he's an askari in my ally's chalet He said that Because he knows i own an estate. I have a damn dossier On the dotty dosser You always give me ecstasy Tell him to stop living in the world of fantasy I'm not putting him on fire But to tell you that You are w...

A Sagacious Note

Why did you love death, Why did you hate peace, Why taking law into your hands, When we have a honcho in this place? You produce nothing but hoodlums Making this place history Is just a mere chimera Though you have many grenades Yet,your sarin will turn you to nought Your gimcrack are less effective to our weapons Your cocky belief makes you love death Though you are heavy like calico But your being voile will make our defenders conquer You will be thrown into volcano. Because you worth living inside caldera Fighting against our honcho Should be seen as shibboleth This not to josh you but reality You destroy our religious arena You destroy our markets Your name hates modernity Haters of modernity I mean modern education Your understanding enhance your negativity To you a new name 'Bunch of ruffians' And new slogan 'Kidnappers and destroyers' Why petrifying Niger area? Oh!the worm will turn Destroying you by our honcho Is a cakewalk. Ye...

Nigeria,a Beloved Nation

I must be a patriot Before i can eat the fruits of my land I speak of you with awe, my beloved land The country awash with resources Country with a lot of tarragons; The secret of our good health is this. Foreigners are even awestruck by your resources Foreigners who arrived With zilch are now millionaires A country with zillions progress The baba of Africa countries. You are zinged by your sons and daughters They never knew the two problems You are struggling with.You're cute But they knew not. Our leaders are Babbitts Some citizens are wastrels And they become hoodoos. I have no bad words Against thee,the greatest That is the secret of our achievers Our problems, for a while,with this my words like a clear tarot. You are scrumptious than every meals That makes me to lie on your bristols That gives us milk always We sing and it avails for us Oke Peter (c)2014
