RESPECT
I know and feel I am calm
Don’t see me as though a balm
Always I stick to avoid the insult
Same ways the avoidance you consult
Grey hairs needs approach to the picture
Whatever you give you get the mixture
The backbone is suggested
By what need to be digested
I have known heads
Countless of them don’t abide by the trend
For fruitful harvest we water the beds
The children with that will learn to blend
LOVE
How beautiful it is to behold
So sweet it is never to be told
Like rays of sunlight it unravels
Just like the flowing stream so it travels
It is most times juicy but sometimes the opposite
The approach to it takes one down and up exit
It bridles existence sequentially
If it is not tagged on to financially
I know its name
We know its fame
It naturally comes from above
It is appreciated for it is love
PEN MAGICIAN
As water flows into the deep
So does muse run in me
Like a baby suckling the mother’s breast
I derive joy making lines with the ink
Amidst friendly conversations
I laugh and smile
Yet unknown to them
The inspirational bug has attacked
Line creators of imaginations
I belong to that community
We’re of one specie
Poetry runs in our veins
My lips stagger to voice
My bleeding pen gives an outcry
As an opportunist in colour and size
To the globe a great town crier
The wand exceedingly magical
Sings praises in my ode
Wails deeply in my elegy
Criticizes in my satire
Admonishes in my ballad
Strikes the gist in my epic
In that river of creativity
My pen dives in productivity
It sings, tells and acts for the goddess
I have a sword that wins wars
Eulogize the pen magician with accolade
Acclaim the being who creates with words
SELF AGREEMENT
That which I love doing
Difficult for me to make a step
The passion lies deep in me
But the zeal is far fetched
So many things on my mind
Think of family, friends and future
Distractions the name for it
Greatness has been my dream
Admiring people in the likes of Adichie
Odinaka as a mirror of the Chimamanda
Forgetting that it took them a lot to arrive
The journey I think should begin
With me conquering pessimism
Determined to get out of my shell
Since they can make it then I too can
That burning desire
I need to acquire
The muse of self-realization
I call for self-actualization
