They say you're just a carriage for baby making and nothing else. You say you're just a carriage for baby making and nothing else. I say one person is telling a bold lie and that's you. No one knows you better than you, How you gonna let people run a marathon for you when you're in a race with yourself alone? Your whole being spells life, Your whole being spells mother with undying affection. You are pink, You matter a lot, Pink matters. Cotton Malibu candy, I compliment you better when it's pink, Though you got shades of different colors like the rainbow. With the banana and peaches made for mouth-gasm, Is it safe to say the banana when isolated is a Lone Ranger? What happens when it meets a fellow Lone Ranger? Makes for sweet serenade,  Pink pleasure. And I heard someone say the stars are the spies of heaven,  I can boldly accept that statement in all honesty. With how far they are, it's no wonder they seem ...

This is the reaction after the thing, This is the other side of me you never got to see, This is me after you, This is me without you, This is for the youthful mind to understand the difference between the future and the present. You know I'll be the first to be proud of you after your fam, You know you'll be no less than the girl at the Olympics, You know you'll never know how proud of you I was, when I heard that, You know these days I'm more or less your Stan. You know when I heard of this,  I just wanted to wrap you so tight in the circle of my arms, with you listening to rhythm of my joyful heart. I remember how you spoke about events like this. You know this piece isn't one to make your heart beat in calmness or boost your confidence,  Oh girl, you thought wrong. Bittersweet, You know you'll always have a soft spot in my heart but not as soft as it used to be, You know you'll be in my thoughts but not as dee...

I can't possibly deny the fact that, Sex with you, Is the best I've had thus far. Haven't had much of it these days, Switched priorities! I Seldom reminisce about some naughty moments of you and your fuck me face, Maybe this is the only way I can keep you running through my mind on a canal loop. I can't arguably deny that you were ideal enough to kickstart things with, But a peek over your shoulders and I see your dirts. And when we needed ironing issues out with a million things to say, We then become loud in silence and leave it up to the sex to resolve it all. At least it did resolve things until the same issues came up. I can't arguably deny that I was naive with my decision making and let a couple of words from other people get to my head. The only thing that changed about me is change, And looking back on those days, I'd probably make a different decision right now, I guess I've really killed some part of the boy I...

I heard Bruce Willis say; "God gives us children so we can have roses in December". But I know with you, he'll give me a garden full. That's a bounty for the bountiful, From a birds eye view, I'll watch you grow into a Wonder Woman, One that knows how to mend a broken heart but often times take charge of situations. I'll groom you up into an African woman, You'll have a strange name that holds earthly meanings of your root, your culture and tribe. When people laugh at your own, Sing cheers of Hallelujah because they only mock the continuity of life. I'll have men chase unicorns then feel butterflies in their stomach,  Before they can even come close to tasting your sweetness, sweetness. Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna, I have a sense of  eunoia writing this because I know you hold an allure, I'll breed you into Psalm 31,  So virtuousness will be the order of your day. I know you'll be a logophile, I pra...

I fell in love with you at age 6, The very night I looked up at the sky and saw the beauty of the stars. That very night, I penned down the most beautiful thing then in my eyes, Created by one of the greats, Celine Dion. Every night in my dreams,  I see you,  I feel you. How beautiful you were and still are, How beautiful you make expressions come to life, How beautiful you … Wait, You know I can go on and on to tell you how beautiful you are but still wouldn't find the right expression to tell you how beautiful you are. You know you're my saving grace, You know you changed my suicidal thoughts the very day I penned down The Poem from my last collection of art. It felt like the Holy Grail. I remember the first day I expressed my art when I was 16, It felt beautiful,  Then I realised how powerful words are, Then I thought about how bad my dad must have abused my mom and that shit turned me into a real sicko. But Sola...

Picture this, The night before, you're having a fun chilling session with your crew, Happy moments are made and are created into memories the very second the clock ticks. Priceless right? Now picture this, 12 hours later, You're picking body parts of some of your crew members, As though in a butcher shop, Trying to buy your favourite meat and picking it's body part for your assessment. Yea, that scenario. I have your mind focused on a motion picture, I have you thinking more than A,B,C. Now, I think I have your attention. The brothers in arms, Dedicated and swore to always put the protection of their country as their number one priority. Now apply the second paragraph of this poem to the life of a soldier. It's even pathetic when I say the government of the country I live in don't even come close to half on a scale, in supporting its soldiers. Unfortunately, But this is almost a routine for soldiers in sambisa forest, B...

She's the girl every girl looks up to, She's the girl most parents wish was theirs, The girl every guy wish was his. Her modesty, she portrays,  Makes her the girl everyone wanted around. Orphan girl from a young age, She struggled with her grandmother who taught her the core values of a lady. She listened to grandma, As grandma's words brought that of wisdom. Grandma's words gave her guidance and made her the girl everyone wanted around them, At least it seemed but there was more of her that was far from their eyes. A young beautiful girl, She's seen her friends attain some kind of "next level", She feels detached from her friends she's done everything with. Grandma's words knocks on her membrane, She has an inner conversation with her conscience, She's faced with two different choices that could well pan out her life overtime. She visualises herself a superstar, The visions of the glamour attain ...

To be born is to someday die, To love is to someday get heartbroken, To hate is to disregard, To live forever is immortality which is crazy, But true genuinely self happiness is a lifetime.                                                   - Devante.

Done saying I'm done playing, Last time is this time, Tired of giving a shit about people, Been used to that my whole life. Gave heads up on my snap at the end of 015, Don't see the point of snapchat in 016. Antisocial thinking it's social where people care less of how you feel but really the media making the most out of it. Martin said no one has your back other than yourself,  It's a lonely world when alone. Feeling the weight of the world, That's how you feel Martin when you try proving a point to the world other than yourself. Focus on being a better you yesterday never saw and let your tomorrow do all the talking, Now that's word of mouth. A flex guy I was, thanks to the roommate back in apartment 316 You helped change my style and looks, But it took Tunde waking me up from my slumber, life isn't about the shoes, clothes and bottles. Life measures so it's standard with our standards. You need to get used ...

Gazing at you sternly now I'm old enough, I can never explain how I still feel like a kid around you. Like a knight, You serve as my shield and sword, Always there to protect me as I've sworn to ever fight for you in this cruel world. I see your hidden tears but I never know how deep it hurts, I see your scars but never know how many battles you've fought, I see your smile but I sure do know how much Joy that brings to me. Your heart is of your fist size,  But it still has room for a million things related to me Mother's heart beats always for me until mother's heart beats no more. In Nego True's words, "Sometimes you got to put something beautiful last, to make something beautiful last". I make merry with you so I keep these memories whelved in the safe of my heart, But it'd never be like my mother's heart, Consumed with love for me. Happy birthday Mom! 50 has a new face around.
