AFRICAN WOMAN

By Olajide coker


She is the image of a queen
The apple on the eyes of a king
She is like a beautiful flower
That brings joy every morning
She is loyal every single hour
This keeps my desire burning
She is a woman of prime
The treasure that's so priceless
She is the best of the time
The reason am always timeless
She is the true African Woman
The one that happy's her man
She is so fruitful every season
So to let her down, I'd no reason

She is the image of a queen
The apple on the eyes of a king
My promise is to love her forever
To treat her kindly as a queen
She sings to tell me am her king
So I'd love her forever and ever
She is the light in my dark room
The love of my unbeatable life
She is the only I can make my wife
Because she is really and truly a groom
She is my number one African Woman
The woman of faith and blessings
She is my humble dream woman
The one am loving and never missing
With her, the feeling is so passionate
She is kind and so affectionate

She is the image of a queen
The apple on the eyes of a king
The African Woman is a queen
The desire of every African King
She is a symbol of true passion
The emblem of a love so refreshing
The African Woman is a blessing
The epitome of tender compassion
She is the champion of all mothers
The best kind of a sister and an aunt y
She is the caretaker of the county
The one that supports the fathers
The African Woman deserves honor
She is the keeper of the home
Her beauty reflects in her everything
From her food down to her child care

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...

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...

SALEWA

By Jonathan Oladeji I don’t know how many people have met Salewa before, even if it is not the Salewa I am talking about. What can you say is common about every Salewa? It’s usually their room mates that can testify better. I met Salewa in my 200 level and she told me her name was Sally. I stared at her for hours before managing to pick a seat behind her in the then AUD 2 on the Great Ife campus. Salewa is the typical tall, slim, dark and beautiful (TSDB) girl. I approached with all caution because I wanted to make a good impression. Even though I am not much of a fashionista, I could see her wrist bracelet, earrings and neck-piece were a complete set out of an A-Class boutique. Salewa was not the bend-down select kind of girl. I wanted to break out of that circle too by all means. We talked awkwardly at first, then kicked off with a bit of more fashion related gist as I noticed that was all she wanted to talk about. I actually wanted to talk about drawing boards and painting c...
