THE EXCELLENCY OF YOUR BEAUTY

By Yakubu Emmanuella

This is as the despair of a man in a pool of fluid entreating for oxygen.
Peace… why struggle, why breathe out when there’s nothing to breathe in?
I will only die but live again when my lover steps in
He went away to bring me my royal cloak, exquisite
Carefully decorated, garnished with many colors, colors of love and life
(I am the) Pride of nature, the sky, the moon and all galaxy

Fly away but return for I will wait
I’ll breathe just when I hear the song of your feet,
And see the glory of your presence
The sweetness of your silence
That refreshing when you’re here
Speak of me among the princes

They’ll sure be bewildered by the excellency of your perfection when they behold me
For I am the glory of (all) your creation
I speak of your love, ability, and beauty
I am an epitome of your proficiency
The expression of your zeal and passion
It is that which runs through my veins

It gives life and courage to this fragile branch
Wrap me like leaves from the cold
Keep me warm in the furnace of your fire like gold
There I’ll find mysteries I was never told
The storm roars but I am bold
I was bought with an everlasting price, now it’s you that I follow
Oh take me away, anywhere, I’ll go

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...

FADING SAPPHIRES

By Ola Vincent Omotade She shouted at me '' just walk away '' You made my past miserable, you're meant to be forgotten. I tried to walk gently out of her sight. she then 'whispers' I hate you ,cheater, devil she said. Then i knelt down and from my sour mouth,I said "Could me and you with fates conspire,to break this sorry scheme of a thing entire. Cos my glances nowadays are now in glimpse. She looked at me and replied i give you just five minutes. Then i knew i had to do more of poetry and not planning. So i started this way Clouds and Darkness were round about me. Just like the first time i saw your face. And After your lightning enlightened my world, there was a great race in my heart. The way my heart beats radically still wont Change. so I wept bitterly upon the mountains and upon the Hills and it seems someone is taking me away.. Waters cannot quench our love neither can flood drown it....wait Just mention, e...

THE SUN CAME DOWN AT NIGHT

By Maryam Olaitan The village became extremely quiet and every mother had instructed their children to go to sleep. I was the only one outside; I sat under the oak tree in front of our house. A few minutes later, Mama peeped through the window, and saw that I was still outside. ‘Won’t you come inside?’ I looked at her and smiled, rouse and pretended as though I wanted to go inside and sleep. When I realised that she was no longer at the window, I ran back to the tree. Sooner than I would imagine, I fell asleep. Suddenly, a thunderous sound woke me from sleep; I opened my eyes when I heard a noise that sounded as if the world had torn apart. Before I could calm my heart to identify the cause of the noise, I was already at the door; banging it and screaming. ‘Ebiere! Ebiere open the door before I open my eyes. I am about to die, open it.’ I shouted. I guessed Mama was fast asleep and she did not come to my rescue as quick as I expected. Tears filled my eyes and I could not help c...
