see my girl

see my girl

see the stars
perfect with no scars
see the sky
beautifully sparse, and so high
see my girl
unequal to any pearl

see the sea
endless, wild and so free
feel the wind
same, with its own mind
see my girl
my head she tips to burl

see my eyes
it radiates her, now wise
feel my palms
it has been schooled, now calm
see my girl
I now fair better to any earl

see the clouds
going grey like the crowds
feel my pulse
pacing faster than any horse
see my girl
always there to break my fall

I BELIEVE

I BELIEVE

©Adeolu Adesanya and Juanita Vera Feb 2014

Let's life a stormy sea

And its wind a turmoil be

I will fly and float away

I will swim and sail away.

Transformed dreams and hopes like butterflies

to fly so far like clouds above, 

I see them soar, wing free 

my heart at last will cry no more, 

My soul released I soar in love.

I can see obstacles my stepping stones 

And treasures like sea pebbles 

Glistering and heralding my glory

As I walk on waters of victory. 

I'm a butterfly cascading high

Over slime, stain and shame

Let the mud sling a colourful rays

In grandiose display I rest my case. 

INESA

INESA

Angelic face in place
She makes em fall
A demonic shape in shades
She called em Saul
Don't blow her whistle
Else you dance to her tune

She whipped the crack
Her slaves in sweet bondage
She blinked but once
Their hearts skipped twice
And to her great design
We're duty bound

You hate to love her
But her web she spins
And Just like her spider
Am the croaking frog
Don't blow the kiss
Or I might be the prince

An enigma plus one
A beauty plus fun
A temptress in eon
She laughs in turns
But when she's done
We are hooked and gone.

NOTHINGNESS

Nothingness

The first shrilling cry of a new baby
The last heaving sigh of a dying body
The beginning and end of nothingness
From exasperation of a morning dew
To desperation that was overdue
From the quest to amass all
Whilst toiling from nothingness
To realisation that amaze none
That once gone, finder's kept.
And it all start all over again
The strives and pursuit of vanity.
