ONE DAY





By Ola Vincent Omotade

My eyes clouded with tears, it started to drip out of my eyes, rolling through my cheek, then some resting on my lips..
Observable  like thunder and lightning.
All i meant was love.

So when the heavens parted  her gentle smile lasted on the planetary bodies,
So while the filaments lasted her stars kept shinning my world.

But one day, all this Rossy words will,
will stop. I mean no more poetry
And shut closed will be the mouth,
mouth of the poet always opened.

So I ask, why do love exist?
why do we love those who don't love us?
and why do our heart pants for people who see us like shadows and sunset of an intricate star.
But yet we kept pursuing them to moon.

One day Love will live,
and truly we'll be found in her hands,
whose hand? her hands
the one who will give us her thoughts, who will give us her heart who will truly believe we loved her before she loved her love loved into Loving us.

Closet sobbers laughed at me, mess
they marveled at my tenderness
Because I can't see  her flaws
her feelings for now looks like claws
But all in one do I love her like a crazy lover.
And strongly do I believe she will love me
ONE DAY.

FEBRUARY 27

By Ola Vincent Omotade Aderonke will be my only poem that never ends, For a good woman is but a poem. A genuine poem that comes in blue moon. You are a jewel of purest gold, The smile that never grows old. You are the beauty of the sunset sky, The intricate twinkle of a happy star. You are the keeper of an unborn life, A champion, heroine, a candlelight . You are a budding shoot, evergreen, a colourful sweetness. Your laughter is like the whirlwind of the spirit, it  keeps resounding in the valleys and hills of life and motions. Encircling the hearts of men with magical notions. So now the night of January is past and the day of February is broken Today speaks of this calmness, this brightness,the one you brought. Today carries  messages of heavy words, Words that are pregnant with beauty for you. And with my golden mouth and pen, I wish to celebrate your existence. What joy of a fuller and freer life, have I got if onl...

''AM A BLACK ANGEL"

By Ola Vincent Omotade I look dark in the outside But deep within my fragile heart, lies a light. "The brightest light that shines so bright" Just as the rainbow in its gloomily, Brightens and beautifies the clouds, After a stormy rain, so I shine in your gloominess I am a black angel yet I brighten your darkest. So I stood every morning causing a radiance to your awesome smile. Even when it seems am unnoticed, I keep making you colourful and accepted. So many decades ago, I was sent to come make you fulfill To come bring you splendor in vendors. My beautiful self have I sold to your love, I live all day radically enraptured  in your world. I am your BLACK ANGEL

ÌGBÀ ÈWE (CHILDHOOD DAYS)

By Teslim Opemipo Let our mothers come like harmattan haze and swear by the sacrality of ògún if the roof lying above their fathers' house has never been stoned by a boy in love to walk them out for an evening talk. Let our fathers come like a windy rain and swear by the simplicity of òsun if the path that leads to the village stream has never danced to serenades sang by their soles in chase of maidens with braids so long. Let the elders come like a mid-year harvest and swear by the tranquility of the moon if they've not once tasted the bliss of childhood fermented with the morals of moonlight tales. In our village, childhood is made of water; kinsmen, remember, water is brewed with life and life is the laughter moulded on our lips when we gambol from rivers to trees and to fields painted in the colours of hopping grasses. Brethren, if you hear an elder saying: growing up kills laughter and joy, do not giggle for they once like us tasted the bliss o...
