Jesuroboowie Gift Imafidon

Devastated

I can hear the beats of drums afar

The voices of war so loud

without out the melody of a guitar

As dust of battle redden the cloud

A fight that will leave behind only scars

Cos the warriors are not at par

It is not a children’s blazer

It is a fight like the war of the tsar

Motion Of The Heart

The wild red rose

Gives out a lovely fragrance

Love is in the air

As I see a couple cuddles at the corner

Love and hate a thin line separates

As I see another couple fights

Love today, hatred tomorrow

What an irony of life

When There Is No Money

WHEN THERE IS NO MONEY
When there is no money
The children wail from starvation
As the wife nags madly
even the soup tastes sour

Penury is the master
Rejection is the brother
The husband's name is dejection
Hope is the breath

When there is no money
The house is taken over by mice
And the bed by bugs, fleas and lice
Even dogs weep from deprivation

Love dies, hatred persists
Friends disappear and relatives are no more
The look around the home is hungry and haggard
When there is no money

A Dance in the Moonlight

The night so serene
As whispers of the cool breeze
Touch my soul with a calmness not known before
It is a full moon tonight my love, sleep no more

Away to the mountain top we go
To relieve the pleasure of the night
Beaky birds as couples hurried to nest
Chatting the lover’s song

The fragrance of your closeness I breathe
And the succulence of your womanhood I feel
As we tango in the naked night
With no emotion to hide

I live for this dance every full moon
My Cinderella whose face is hidden
Dressed in red all in a mirage
I woke up again, to meet an empty bed.

Ode To Myself

Ode to myself
From my African roots
Descendant of the great ogiso
Who conquered Africa to the west coast
Unmovable and strong like the great iroko

Ode to myself
With great pride in handwork
Inherent to my tribesmen, known for our prowess and African dexterity
Dreaded for our venom likened to the black mamba's
Burning tropical sun brings out the smelling sweat of our hard work

Ode to myself
Who have been through the thick and thin of life
Yet never dare to give up, cos I know no fear
The only fear I have is known to me
The fear that I will die succeeding, Like the heroes of my past.

Please, Colour Me Roses

Being young and new in high school

You welcomed me into the class

With a classy smile and friendship

So I sent you a single stem rose for your simplicity

College took us far for years

Seeing you again a fully grown woman

I sent a thornless rose for it was love at first sight

After which I received an orange rose from you

Saying I have been your secret love
