My Poems

BURNING INCENSE FOR A BURIED PRINCESS

2011-08-26T11:43:00.000-07:00

Like yesterday it was; so far gone

A decade it is, still we mourn

Deep in my mind images run

Somehow destructive, just like a bomb

Till this day I deeply mourn

And sometimes pray you're still not gone

Among the rest you stand as the one

Simply the best; second to none

Each time you play I think you're reborn

Bringing me light just like the sun

Sometimes at night I guess you're the one;

The angel who sings, midnight to dawn

Composed: 08/25/2011

In Loving Memory of the PRINCESS OF POP:
Aaliyah Dana Haughton
(January 16, 1979 - August 25, 2001)

WAITING FOR HER

2011-04-09T04:55:00.001-07:00

Conceived by the dawn, born of the rising sun
Her freshness is one second to none
Each day I thirst, I thirst for her presence
cos she's a gift; so much of an essence
A gift so nice; one with no price
Bundle of blessings no man would despise
She comes after each passing day
So after this very day she'll again be on her way

For her arrival I pray
Though to her I have nothing to say
I guess she's close but still seems far away
She'll be here tomorrow
Surely, she'll be here to borrow
Some of mine and yours may follow
For all I know my pockets are hollow
So I'll give her my sorrow when I see her tomorrow

RADIO-ACTIVE HEAD

2011-04-09T04:31:00.001-07:00

In my quiet times I crave sounds
Rhythm and poetry of different pounds
Mind twisted with every video
I feel bored without a stereo
But with my radio
Emancipation is a possible scenario

With my radio I crave more sounds
Rhythm and blues of different pounds
Shutting my eyes like I am dead
Surrounding vibes fill up my head
Deep in my mind its all emancipation
But in my head its cerebral disintegration

I hear the sounds, I feel the beats
In my room and on the streets
Now I'm deaf and partially insane
cos with my radio I seem not to know my name
With my radio I'm never thesame
On who must I put the blame

SOLILOQUY OF ROMANCE

2011-04-09T03:51:00.001-07:00

Superstar so fly
Up in the sky you reside so high
To be with you I know I must fly
I have no wings but I know I must try

I wish for a kiss; not on your lips
I wish for hold around your hips
I aim at your love while drowning in wine
All for the love of making you mine

I wish for a touch, I guess you know why
I'll take you to church whenever you lie
I'll take you so far I bet you will cry
Just to be sure the sea's never dry

Up in the sky we'll be lost in the cloud
Screaming my name will never be loud
With one of these I'll make you be mine
Spotting the sign you'll surely be fine

LOVE AT FIRST TRY

2011-04-09T03:21:00.001-07:00

Leather's like skin, it feels thesame
Clutching to it relieves the pain
I held on firm with pleasure in my eyes
And advanced with motion in disguise

Step- by- step to my destination
I controlled my thoughts with self motivation
Moving so swift but somehow lame
I switched lane for the love of the game

Rubber's like queen, it kills the game
Its good for the rain but it drives me insane
I stood erect watching things fall apart
And I fell in love just like that

THE SIGN

2011-04-08T23:22:00.001-07:00

Similar to the square root of four
It signifies the opposite of war
As firm as the ears of a hare
Its simply two fingers in the air
Just like a hare so lonely
The middle and the index only

Both held out for a reason
One we all must believe in
For as long as I keep living
In the reason I'll keep believing
'cos the sign is the reason
Peace! we should believe in

VENOM KISS

2011-02-17T11:42:00.000-08:00

As warm as the sun during the summer

It comes for one truly a lover

Cruel and so mean it pierces the heart

Firm and so sharp like claws of a cat

Replacing strength with weakness,

It leaves one with a healthy sickness

Eyelids lock in moment of bliss

Four lips touch in moment of kiss

Priceless it is, so tender it feels

Tasteless it is, with so much it heals

Its more than you see; much more than it seems

Not just kiss but just what it is

WHAT I WEAR

2010-12-06T14:42:00.000-08:00

What I wear is what you see
A reflection of whom and what I'll be
Old and ever bold
Young and never dumb
I'll be hot and never cold
Right and never wrong

Appearance is just a bit of my personality
So judge not by the image in your visibility
Who exactly am I?
Ponder less cos the answer resides in your curiosity
I'll be exactly who I am
From now till eternity

What I wear is what you see
A perspective of an obscure identity
I'll be bright and never dull
Smart while I walk tall
What I wear is what I like
Regardless of your view
I'll forever be your type

HER SKIN

2010-12-06T14:40:00.000-08:00

On her skin I long for touch
Like nothing I've seen the beauty's so much
Her skin is smooth, her skin is brown
Speaking the truth she deserves a crown
If I were a king I'll make her my queen
I'll pet her so much because of her skin

Because of her skin a dreamer I've been
Feeling her skin all over my skin
Though it's like a sin I dream of a dip
Taking a dive into her skin
I dream of a touch, I dream of a kiss
Her skin on my skin is something I wish

HE IS...BLOOD, FLESH AND BONE

2010-11-25T09:37:00.000-08:00

He is the one; the blood of a male
He is a true born; a brother we hail
He is the head, he is the tail
One with a soul not even for sale
Just like a guide he stands by your side
He is a gift; the pride of a bride
He is the brain, he is the vein
He is the drug that’s keeping you sane
He is the back, he is the bone
He is the shield; the roof of a home

He is the one; the flesh of a male
He is the son; a father we hail
He is a giver much more than a taker
True to the world and never a faker
He is a man; a real home maker
He is a chef just like a baker
He is a lady lover not a heart breaker
He is a keeper not a ripper
He is a pillar; a human so eager
Willing to try cos he aims to get bigger

He is the one; the bone of a male
He is a man; grandfather we hail
Without a doubt he is the root
He is the mouth; a speaker of truth
He is the zeal, he is the strength
He is the will; a true Heaven sent
Just like a day he leaves you with hope
Though times may be hard with him you can cope
He is the cloud, he is the rain
He is the flood erasing your pain

GOD IS JUST WHAT LOVE IS

2010-11-14T12:46:00.001-08:00

God is love, love is kind
God is king; one of a kind
His love is real; ever so true
His love is pure and ever so new
His love is abundant upon mankind
Cos whatever we quest by Him we find
God is love, love is real
God is real; more than supreme

God is love, love leads one to God
God is love, love is the one word
God is love, love is life
God is love; the giver of life
He reigns all through with love from above
His words are true and these are to you
God is love; a king we must love
In your thoughts these words should revolve

THE 14TH

2010-11-14T12:44:00.003-08:00

Facing the fact has been so cold

I've ever since been so bold

But the pain has been so hard to with hold

Yet another day, anniversary they say

No champagne, so for your soul I pray

And celebrate your life in just another way

Rest in peace! But in that of my heart

For in the peace of my heart

Your soul will never depart

WHY LIE?

2010-11-14T12:43:00.003-08:00

Why lie when truth can be told?
To be safe but damned when it unfolds?
The truth can be spoken sometimes for free
And this makes it quite easy for people to see
The truth is so clear, real and supreme
But with a lie it can be concealed
The lie is like a suit wrongly designed for the truth
Yet with every bit it rightly fits

Why lie when truth can be told?
For the fame but defamed when truth be told?
Lie is so unreal; without the truth it ceases to exist
And the fact is one it'll always resist
One good lie might make sense
Plus another good lie is chaos in one's conscience
Why lie when truth can be told?
Be true to yourself and always be bold

THE BEST OF TIME

2010-11-14T12:41:00.001-08:00

I never knew but now I know
Time ticks smooth but never slow
Since each second marks a record
I'll act fast with a particular method
I'll proceed to succeed and never retreat
Hoping for victory and never defeat

I aim at the peak as I strive for mine
I feel so weak so I rest my head on time
It slips and makes me fall
But I get to my feet cos I must not crawl
With my head up I stand tall
And the words of my mind I then recall

Time is a friendly foe; this I surely know
It comes for a purpose and is ever ready to go
Its motion is quite swift and never slow
Passing by just as we grow
Take every bit and return what you owe
For what you shall reap depends on what you sow

JUST FOR EBERE

2010-11-14T12:39:00.001-08:00

Juicy and cute is how you look
Undeniably, your beauty's not a fluke
Sun-kissed skin looking so brown
Thick eye brows deserve no frown
Fantasies emerge whenever you smile
Obstructing my view just for a while
Round-faced lady just like a baby
Earthly queen never looking lazy
Blessed with skin like caramel cream
Ever luscious like peaches in cream
Richly endowed on the waist
Every night I dream of a taste

SWEET EDITH

2010-11-14T12:37:00.000-08:00

Simply blue, friendly and true
Words from your mouth are gentle like dew
Empress so cute, blessed with brown eyes
Expressions so smooth ever so nice
Thinking of you is life with no frown
Even at times I just may be down
Dealing with thoughts I'll never be sad
I spoke with a queen I'll ever be glad
Thanks for the words, your smile and your time
Hoping we'll meet better in time

AN ODE TO YOU

2010-11-14T12:33:00.000-08:00

You seem so weak and I feel your pain
But to be strong you must do it again
So much of my love cannot be enough
Either beneath or sailing above
Drowning in it I'll be like your wave
Making you wet like you're in a rave
Each time you slip I'll be there for a save
Serving you right like I am your slave

I'll be your hero when you call
But I'll take no credit for it all
I'll give you all and never take
But keep it tight just for my sake
My gift is a course;
A true blessing strictly for us
It's naturally mine and technically yours
Making good love for both of us

LOVE LIKE WATER

2010-03-20T16:04:00.001-07:00

Your love is kind and just like water
Precious to one, worthless to another
It showers so mild and rises like flood
Upon my skin and into my blood
Therein it resides, all through it flows
All through my vein erasing my pain

Of all I thirst your love comes first
'cos its so real and different from the rest
Its more of a story and extraordinary
Whenever it flows it builds me up
It makes me strong and fills me up
Giving me weight like fluid in a cup

Your love is true and just like water
Refreshing to one, depressing to another
It gives me strength and brings me joy
Something of old like the victory in Troy
Your love is life and still like water
It would dry never and flow forever

GUTS FOR GLORY

2010-03-13T15:01:00.001-08:00

Yet another journey for me

I walk through a path so free

Paved so smooth but filled with quicksand

The drag is one I must withstand

Forward ever I stride

Backward never I hold on to pride

On my face are cascades of sweat

Its so hard but I persist with strength

My eyes stay on the price

But I wonder how high I'll rise

Scales off my eyes reveal the enemies in disguise

Bats and bees, mosquitoes and fleas

Snakes and sticks, vultures on trees

All these and plots to see me deceased

Now I feel jaded

Feeble in health cos its like my hope's faded

My vision gets blurry as my eyes strain for glory

But I unleash my guts for what the price is worth

MY MISS EDUCATION

2010-03-08T23:07:00.001-08:00

To her I'm engaged
For nothing but knowledge in exchange
So old but still young;
In all languages she speaks
Though without lips she never quits

Here and within every surrounding
For understanding her words are so demanding
She's not much of a beauty
But she extends to any line of duty
She's not much of a friend
But she'll be there till the end

A part of her is one I most desire
But I'll be patient cos I know she'll not expire
She rules across the earth in almost every aspect
She's such a ruler; a representative of a pillar
Like humans she's kind of like a sinner
But still I love her cos she's such a true giver

I wonder why many believe her
Probably cos she supports every career
She is a form of inspiration
A spark and a light of motivation
I derive pleasure and so much satisfaction
With dedication to my Miss Education

NIGERIA THE TRIGGER

2010-02-20T01:20:00.000-08:00

Born in Nigeria I'm a king

One without a queen; to my mom its not a sin

I've got a ring but my queen is yet to be seen

Like the skin I want the cream

To be rich is my only dream

With the cream I'll buy a queen

With the queen I'll reign supreme

I'm the sun the world's been missing

The star upon which they've been wishing

I'm the light so bright

With rays spread across the darkest night

My flow is so sick but my rhyme is iller

Whenever I rhyme I feel like I'm a killer

cos Africa is a nine and Nigeria is the trigger

WORDS I SPREAD

2010-02-20T01:19:00.000-08:00

I and the net have long been paired

That's why the web is where I premiered

Whenever I grab a pen a pad gets scared

Every now and then my eyes get red

Not because I'm weird but cos I'm lyrically overfed

With words from my head and rhymes unsaid

For the young and he with the grey beard

Here and around in every neighbourhood

Rhymes so good are those I spread

Kind of like soul food spiritually shared

Not to be ignored but to be read instead

For the sake of the scared to grow brave hearted

"Mind broken can never be repaired"

This I once said but when asked why, I said Zed

My words are clear and easy to be read

But quite hard for the short sighted

Probably cos one must be close to reachout and touch my head

Towards your goal always be geared

Strive for the best and ignore the rest

But when you get stressed it best you rest

Respect the living and also the dead

No one but God must thus be feared

Much to be seen and more to be heard

Of none must we be scared

Of all must we be prepared

Use your head and hope not be misled

'cos the truth is better read than heard

THE BEST

2010-02-20T01:17:00.001-08:00

If I go wrong with this how else should I write this?
Whether or not the world likes this I'll still write this
I'm the best and there's no need to fight this
Rather than beat my chest while I write this
I'll beat the rest and make them like this

Right here I'm a guest;
Probably not the first but surely the best
So to the rest, vamoose! is what I suggest
Whiteboy is the name, poetry is the game,
and rhyming is the way the game is played
So if yours seem lame, its best you fade

The game is like a test
Thats why every now and then I thirst
Strictly for the cash I quest
cos the fame is one I detest
A message to the rest; the cream is my interest
And since I'm the best, in my palms the cash must rest

THE GAME IS INSANE

2010-02-20T01:14:00.000-08:00

My future was like a web design undefined
Until today's forecast declared sunshine well defined
I'm the son above all born to shine
Born to rhyme while I rock a mic and possess what is mine
Ignoring a life of crime I strive and do my job overtime
Saving up every dime to keep me in line and have me live just fine

My job is a game meant for he who's got brain
But its kind of like cocaine cos its driving my colleagues insane
I maintain my lane and try to sustain
cos i don't care if no one knows my name
For the money or fame, consistency is the key to the game
So to all y'all who just cant keep up I suggest you refrain

The game has got brothaz lost in the rain
Making them forget that after the sun comes the rain
And after the rain comes the sun again
With pain or with gain the game should stay thesame
'Rap' is the name of the game
But its so insane that I see no rhythm and poetry
Just clowns who entertain

SITUATIONS

2010-01-04T09:28:00.000-08:00

Situations rise, situations fall
Like the sun so bright but sometimes dull
Before our eyes they rise
Before our toes they fall
Sometimes fast, sometimes slow
As blessings in disguise, like good time so nice
May be not, may be so
But as quick as they come will be as soon as they go

Situations rise, situations fall
May be bright, may be dull
Like the sun and the rain
With pleasure or with pain
Whatever the case, one thing still remains
They come and they go
With pain or with gain

SON OF ADAM

2010-01-04T09:17:00.000-08:00

Created by whatever means,
Through any position
His principle is his true religion
Born of his mother; he is a son of another
Whoever, it doesn't really matter
cos he is still your brother;
A son of Adam

WHAT I WANT

2010-01-04T09:10:00.000-08:00

I want to live and hold on to mine
I don’t want to die not before my time
I want the gift and not the curse
Blessings and mercy; spiritual hug
Goodness and love all from my Lord
I want to be free; to do as I please
Free from stress and succeed with ease
I want to be big; I don’t want to be small
I want to be smart; I don’t want to be dull
I want to be wise, I want to be tall
I want to be King and reign above all
I want to be rich; I don’t want to be poor
Be happy in peace with one I adore
I want to live long, I want to be strong
I want to do right; I don’t want to do wrong
I pray to my Lord that I will be strong
cos in His kingdom is where I belong

THE ONE ABOVE THE ONE BELOW

2009-11-28T10:57:00.000-08:00

The one above the one below is surely the one I know
He is me and I am him
Cos wherever he is from is where I've been
So much I've seen, so much I've heard
None of which made me
So much more to be seen
And much more to be heard
None of which will break me but wake me
Cos by His grace no one will forsake me

Though all I've heard, all I've seen
And where I've been never made me
I am him; the one above the one below
Created by He who reigns above we all below
In His image I was made
Therefore, the glory behind my story will never fade
Who is He, that He who made me?
No one but the Lord God Almighty
He who created me
Same He who made me the one above the one below

MUSIC

2009-11-28T10:43:00.002-08:00

Music, through you I found my muse
In my life you did intrude
In a way that felt so good
At times you portray an attitude so rude
But still I don't care cos you sound so good

A note from a key, a string, or mahogany
Sure brings good melody
Such melody with inspiration,
Information and edutainment leads to entertainment
One which gets me going

Drowning but yet still flowing
I obey your rhythm and dance for a reason; love
Music, you bring me love, you bring me joy
You replace me sadness with gladness
And sometimes with madness

Music, you speak with different tones and voices
This makes me wonder
Who exactly are you?
What will I be without you?
What will the world be without you?

I'm glad I found you!
Cos I'll be deaf without you
The world will be dumb without you
And because we all made you
Life will be death without you

PASSION FOR FASHION

2009-11-28T10:34:00.000-08:00

I have passion for fashion
So strong with love and affection
It tells from the way I look; suave and so cute
In mood and reaction looking good remains my mission
With no intention of attracting public attention

My hair and all I wear, perfumes and underwear
Jeans, jewels, T- shirts and foot wears define my style so clear
Though I came naked I must stay clothed
Cultivating this idea makes me adhere
To my style and all I wear

Will I ever be me without what I wear?
This seems like my greatest fear
Though I’m aware I stay glued to my style and all I wear
Creating an artistic impression of bodily expression with fashion
This isn’t an obsession, its just my unending passion for fashion

HEAVENLY QUEEN EARTHLY HIGHNESS

2009-11-28T10:28:00.000-08:00

Heavenly queen, earthly highness
Looking through your eyes I see the madness
Of them all I have seen you are the finest
Give to me your heart, your time and likeness
Give to me your love and all in that dress
Cos me in that dress will kill the madness

Heavenly queen earthly highness
Looking at your lips gives me mind rest
Thinking of a kiss is like a heart bless
Thinking of your hips without a caress
Is something like an err
Because you’re priceless

Heavenly queen my earthly highness
Its nothing like a film with movie madness
Something like a dream but sure you’ll like this
Something like a pin with lovely hardness
But its nothing like a sin
Just lovely blindness

LOVERS' PLEDGE

2009-11-28T10:12:00.000-08:00

Blessed by the Lord I feel blessed with you
I am an angel sent forth to you
I’ll be the sun after the rain
I’ll be the pleasure after your pain
Through the good and bad, the rough and tough
The storm and the rain; with you I’ll remain
Bright as the sun, firm as a rock
Tough as an engine put at work
I pledge all these so please believe
Plus much more you’ll receive
I’ll be your lover; I’ll be your friend
I’ll be your partner until the end

WHEN NIGHT FALLS

2009-11-28T10:06:00.000-08:00

When night falls the sun goes down
The clouds get dark, the birds go down
The stars come out and shine so bright
We all go in to rest our heads
Our eyes get shut with mind at rest
The goons come out to do their worse
While thieves come out to fill their purse
When night falls down I stay awake
And watch the world until day break

MONEY THIRSTY

2009-11-28T10:03:00.000-08:00

Life is good but bad without food
I’ll rob a bank but just if I could
I need a job cos I have to eat
I need good clothes and shoes for my feet
My purse is empty
My thoughts are lengthy
My mind is dirty
My stomach’s empty
But I’m not hungry, just money thirsty

CHEF'S THEME

2009-11-28T09:58:00.000-08:00

Ingredients in place put a smile on my face
The magic spice lies right in front of my eyes
Plain on a platter at waist level, I act with no disguise
The recipe steams from the heat beneath
That produced by the strike of a matchstick
While I stir, let it flow and make it hit a hat trick
No hat on, no apron, with two gloves on I’ll have you well come
You’ll be glad when I’m done
Cos my job is strictly for your satisfaction

THIS WOMAN

2009-11-28T09:42:00.000-08:00

This woman is precious
This woman is great
With her and my ambitions, I keep the faith
Like no other, I truly love her
This woman is faithful, this woman is true
She's a gem; best among the few
To my soul her words are like food
She's so good, the root of womanhood

This woman shows love
This woman is kind
This woman's so tough
She's one of a kind
This woman is real, this woman is pure
My one and only, the one I adore
Like no other, this woman is mine
She'll be my mother till end of time

THE SEED

2009-11-28T09:41:00.001-08:00

I am the seed the soil could not refuse;
The one the land can use
I am the growing seed,
Firm in the field of a struggling breed
Among shrubs and weeds;
The seed from which the world will feed
Surviving the whirlwind made me an intrepid
That’s why I rule in the life I lead

I was born of a plant
Fertilised by the soil on which I stand
Now I plan to reproduce more of my kind
I am the seed so tough,
Smooth and yet so rough
I am the seed so edible
Above ground level, untouched by the weevil
The birds and the devil

IF SHE CRIES

2009-11-28T09:39:00.000-08:00

If she cries who will wipe her eyes?
Not even her children or grandchildren
Cos by them she's been despised and so brutalised
Loved and hated, betrayed and humiliated
But still she grows
Destined for where no one knows

Surviving different stages she gracefully ages
Year after year in the cloth she's ever worn;
A green and white gown
Now tattered and torn
Young but quite old, rich and yet poor
She stands for peace and represents unity

She begs for freedom out of captivity
Freedom of oneself and freedom from atrocities
Committed by her seeds for selfish needs
She's been so independent growing her seeds
Greasing their knees, providing their needs
But now she's weak

If she cries they'll suffer and grieve
Each and every one of her seeds;
The repercussion they'll sure receive
A harvest of weeds is what they'll reap
They'll struggle in vain and paddle in pain
Cos the tears she'll shed will water like rain

I SMILE

2009-11-28T09:38:00.000-08:00

I smile when I wake at times of day break
I smile at each day upon which I pray
I smile when the sun shines
For its best to make hay
But still I pray for a calm rainy day

I smile when I see you
Cos you are such a perfect view
I smile when I reminisce
On the good and bad; the things I had
And for those I lost, still I smile

I smile at earth, of all she consists
I smile at nature and all that exists
Life and death, my sight and breath
The birds and trees, fishes and seas
The moon and stars, at the sky I smile
Black or blue, I love the view

I smile at kids; little boys and girls
I smile at jewels; diamond, gold and pearls
I smile at the economy, how well it grows
I smile at my peers, family friends and foes
For no one knows what the future holds

I smile when I succeed, at times when I achieve
At times like these, sure I smile
I smile at the world and I smile for the Lord
I smile for His sake cos the life I lead
He sure did make

LOVE JUICE

2009-11-28T09:30:00.000-08:00

In mind, body and soul
It reigns for whoever knows
In graceful movement and tender meekness
It grows but never shows
Exchange of words like kisses and hugs
A lively cruise in sacred fuse
Comes and offer no one should refuse;
A taste of love juice

Love juice shows but never flows
Cos it’s nothing like the fluid everyone knows
With an aim to please, it comes; as mild as peace
And brings about full body ease
In full control it takes charge
And makes two become one whole
As mild as it may seem, love juice is keen
Love juice is King, love juice is Queen
It comes for good to reign supreme

HEART GALLERY

2009-11-28T09:18:00.000-08:00

Another day another name
Another piece without a frame
Deep in my mind, in thoughts and meditation
Through imagination and retrospection,
Portrayal and exhibition
I thrive as my own curator
The events I hold of stories untold
Plus images and figures I mould
May allow my secrets unfold
My hands are too weak to hold them all
My mouth is too heavy to say them all
But in my heart I house them all
They remain safe finally
Here in my heart gallery

WHEN I FOUND YOU

2009-10-07T09:07:00.000-07:00

Eyes shut mind open I found something
Something like a being so real
Kind of like a dream so real
Something new to my view
Something sweet just like you
Something pretty, something deep
Something smooth, something with curves
Plus two buds asking for hugs
Like raindrops from above I found love
Though I never knew I found peace
Peace and all the above when I found you

BEAUTIFUL TO THE BRIM

2009-09-30T05:13:00.000-07:00

Beautiful to the brim
Your beauty's so mean, its like a sin
One I must commit
Even if I must forfeit
Full to the brim,
All over it flows wherever your body goes
However, whenever you pass I feel like its gas
'cos when I don't see you I bet I perceive you

Beautiful to the brim
Your beauty's so mean, so mean and so full
And now it spills like drugs that kill
Syrup and pills; overdose that is
Like a meal made of lean
For your love I'm so keen
Full to the brim, no wonder it spills
My heart now beats for fear of how long it'll last

Beautiful to the brim
Your beauty's so real
If it were a meal, I'll never starve
'cos you, I'll forever have
I'll make you my everlasting dear
And erase my long lasting fear of how long it'll last
For without me your beauty will fade
But with me its bound to be made

RENDITION OF LIFE

2009-09-30T05:12:00.000-07:00

Life seems short, too short to see all I should
Too short that I might die in no time
Probably after reciting this line
By chance it occurs, post no fear
Shed no tear, just dry your eyes
And celebrate my demise
For the eyes are best utilised to visualise
Preferably the path to success

Life seems short, too short to learn all I should
Too short to know all I should
Too short to achieve my desires of which I would
But knowledge is best retained when moderately obtained
And what we desire determines the rate we expire
So why must I know all?
And why must I have all?

Life seems short, too short for one to live
Too short but can be made long
For a well preserved tongue
Accepted at birth and rejected at death;
Life is a gift
One well deserved to one its well preserved
Life seems short but life is long
Break your watch to prove me wrong

SWEET FEMALE BLOOD MALE

2009-09-30T05:11:00.000-07:00

Sweet female blood male, a love like none
Working together in unity as one
From your tie a family was formed
I love you and the seeds you bore
I apologise for all I did wrong
To you all I belong
With love we all grew strong
With love we'll all live long

I love you now, like I always did
And I'll always do, now and always
Always and forever I'll still love you
Even though your hair's turned grey
And if the strands pull away
For you I'll still pray
'cos my love will still stay
With you my sweet female

I love you too, just as ever
Now and whenever, whenever and forever
Even though you're now old
You're still a giver, my life saver
And sometimes a redeemer
For this I thank you, I appreciate you
And I give you this love not for sale
My dear blood male

FOREVER WE'LL BE

2009-09-30T05:09:00.000-07:00

Image immaculate must be my soul mate
So blind I've ever been
My vision's now clear, you're one so dear
How dare I ignore this chance of having a great romance
With a name as plain as the rain,
Frame as plain as the name,
Sure, I'm on the right lane
Like heaven sent, I just can't reject
No more lies, no more games
For those I told, I didn't mean to
And those I played, I thought of you all through
Like a brand with a seal which no one can peel
I'll make you feel
You'll be the brand, I'll be the seal
Forever we'll be
A relationship so pure, mutual and real

OLD ENOUGH

2009-09-30T05:08:00.000-07:00

As old as I feel is as old as I am
For whatever the case may be
I'll be as old as you see
Old enough for a badge
With which I'll take charge
Old enough to achieve with plans to live large
Old enough to stride and never crawl
To get up with pride when I fall

As old as I may seem is as old as I am
Until my death day,
I'll be as old as my birthday
But for now, I'm old enough to be me
Old enough to lead;
On the street and in my field
My troops and colleagues
The kids I will breed

As old as I've been known is as old as I've grown
Old enough to teach
Old enough to learn;
Enough for me to earn
Out to possess, I crave for success
Clever and bold I strive for my own
'cos I'm old enough to make it
Just on my own

ABOUT THE WRITER

2009-09-30T05:00:00.000-07:00

Conceived by a woman so strong
Begotten by a man so great
Little boy living by the literature of faith
Began walking at week twenty eight
Obeying the rules of his mother,
The laws of his father,
And teachings of his maker
With much love for academics and gymnastics,
He led in his classes
And began swinging back flips at age six
Hard headed and outlaw minded
At thirteen, he started feinding on the street
Institutionalised, he felt the heat on the street
Education on the same street made him hard and thug living
But mother's influence made him calm and feminine
He never trifles with education 'cos listening is his motivation
Whoever he may be, he's still a son of man
A son of God
The salt of the earth
A fish out the net
A piece out the dirt
Thats him you can bet

MY 1080° POETRY

2009-07-02T12:35:00.000-07:00

My poetry is what it is
What you hear is what you get
In every disc, tape or plate we play,
Music plays at an angle, 360°
Music is my poetry and my poetry is music
What will I be without music?
I'll be mute without my poetry

My poetry is what it is
The way I live is who I am;
An intrepid ever since I was a seed
Switching gears, I thrived off my teenage years
Now whirling as a youth
In a circle I stand at an angle, 360°
Life is poetry and my poetry is life
What will life be without poetry?

My poetry is what it is
What you see is what you read
I spanned through every curve in my art
And arrived in a circle at an angle, 360°
Music, Life and Art put together
All in one I found my poetry
My poetry is what it is, 1080 degrees

WHO I AM

2009-06-28T06:27:00.000-07:00

Who I am is who I am
Conceived by my mother
Begotten by my father
A son of man; just a black brother
A friend indeed and a giver who never shows greed
Sown as a seed, I sprung to a kid
The one with the lead
From the class to the field
I'm a leader indeed

Who I am is who I am
A brother with guts and history
With a heart that’s military
Rich and strong, I'm a ruler of my kind
One with pure mind and love for mankind
A preacher with words
A teacher with thoughts
A soldier with guns;
That’s who I am

WHITEBOY SHYNE- ONE OF THIS WORLD

2009-06-28T05:52:00.001-07:00

I am of this world, a true son of God
A soldier with guns
A teacher with thoughts
A preacher with words
Ask of my proof, search for my shield
My pad or my pen

Imagine why I shoot
How I shield, why I read
How I write
For the witches and wizards,
Demons and the devil
Shall crumble when I rumble

Picture me living, a catholic rebel
On a higher level above the devil
And whatever trouble they plan
Shall fall double upon their clan
I am of this world, yours in eternity
Whiteboy Shyne; your son to infinity

WHO I AM (Part 2)

THE TRUTH IN YOUR FACE- READ!

2009-06-28T05:46:00.000-07:00

The truth is more told when written than when spoken
Read!
There are friends and there are good friends
Men and good men
There are leaders and there are good leaders
Builders and destroyers
There are fiction and non- fiction
Scripts and writers
Read!

Passage in tunnels
Models and role models
Much to be seen
Much to be heard
Listen and learn
Read and decipher
Compare and contrast
Comprehend and understand
Read!

Read more but don't believe all
'cos there lives the truth
And here on earth lives the lie
The lie is imaginary
It only exists when the truth is kept secret
But the truth is real, right in your face
Deep in your heart, engraved in your soul
Find it, 'cos this and nothing but the truth can save us all
Read!

The truth is even when written than when spoken
Read!
But who do you believe in?
Is it he, she, this, them, or me?
Or is it just you? Do you believe in yourself?
Do you truly believe in you?
Now decide, is it the scripture?
The writer, the preacher, the leader
The builder or the destroyer?
Read!

Do you believe in the message in this passage?
Do you believe in the message and the passage?
Or do you believe in either?
Do you believe in the third verse?
Or is your idea converse?
Read!
Do you believe in man?
Or you just believe his words?
Do you believe in God?
Or you just believe in gods?
Do you believe in Allah?
Or do you just believe in Buddha?
Read!

Now do you see the truth?
Can you recognize the truth?
Do you believe in the truth?
Can you find the truth out of the root?
What about the fruit?
Was it truly eaten or is it still waiting to be eaten?
Read!

If you truly know the truth then ask yourself;
What is the truth?
Who is the truth?
Where is the truth?
Though hidden in the root, Its in your face
Plain to see and sound enough to hear
But the truth is better read than heard

A TIME LIKE THIS

2009-06-28T05:39:00.000-07:00

Imagine a time like this; one without destroyers
When slaves become masters
Masters become rulers
Rulers become leaders
And leaders remain builders
A time of truth
A time without lies
A time of facts; one without doubts
A time of truce
A time of freedom
A time of peace
A time of tranquility
A time of safety
And a time of liberty
One for my people free from captivity
A time like this may seem unimaginable
It may leave us in a state of uncertainty
It may be thought of until infinity
Sure, cos it only exists in eternity

WHO WE ARE, WHAT WILL BE

2009-06-28T05:38:00.000-07:00

My looks seem like a glimpse of where I’m from
Real human, full fledged African
Truly Nigerian
My root is my pride
But my tongue speaks nothing of my tribe
Don't blame them; not mama, not papa, no one!
For no one and I mean no one but me is guilty
So blame me

But why blame me, hmm?
Why blame me?!
When ancient African civilization is on a verge of a merge
With modern day civilization
Without glasses, I foresee a new clear reaction
For the masses, a new world order
The reaction will stabilize our tradition
The later will make revolution history in our tradition

JUST A FACT

2009-06-28T05:36:00.000-07:00

How can I be me if I can't be me?
Who am I?
Whiteboy Shyne,
Born to shine with all that’s mine
My race is black
My skin is brown
My hair is black
My ass is black
From rear to back,
I love to hack
I love the dark
And I love Tupac
Now that’s a fact
'cos I don't fake jack

LADY LOVELY

2008-11-27T12:37:00.000-08:00

Lonely was a lady so lovely
When I found her, cheerful was my Lady lovely
Interaction with Lady lovely was an expression of immediate emotion
Fused with a transmission of intimate relation
Her words had me caught up
So captivating, lady lovely had me in full motion
Soaked up with lady passion,
I was driven by the notion I was having a chain reaction

Like an image perfectly moulded
She's a queen no one can deny
One on which I can rely
For as long as she's known
I'll never settle for less
My good Queen Bess
Reigns over the land she dwells
With her curved hips, sumptuous boobs and firm tits,
In every cloth she rightly fits
Guarded by her lovely lips,
Her teeth glitter whenever she grins
And those lips, worth more then Nefretiti's
Are meant to be kissed by no one but me

Later conversations with Lady lovely were strictly friendly
But one lewd conversation led to my craving imagination
All about lady lovely
Her sexy aura crowded the atmosphere we were
Her hazel eyes sparkled like lights in pair
Her shiny hair, quite dark and curly
Felt so fluffy as she hugged me
Ready to leave for the night,
Low went the lights
Kisses from cheeks to lips,
Neck and shoulders,
Back and tummy,
Made her moan cos she felt horny
And couldn't leave till morning
But a word from Lady lovely made me worry
'Mummy', still moaning, she said
'Forgive me mummy'
And I was like 'I know you're horny',
'I'll be done by morning'

She felt safe with me so she let me in
Sure, I did fill her in
She couldn't resist my kisses and hugs
Smooches and rubs
So we went down and made good love
Not until sunrise did I realize
What or who really went down
Panties and wears
A girl and a boy
A red polka dot on my sheet
Intoxicated from the gin,
I and Lady lovely had committed a sin

IN COMMUNION WITH THE DON

2008-11-27T12:13:00.000-08:00

Twelve years after my twelfth
Close to twelve years after your death
My birthday; a date I celebrate
Close to your remembrance; a date I await

Gone for twelve years
Now I shed my last tears
What do they expect? Your return?

I doubt! Something in turn
A new leaf is what they'll get
Because after your death
Came a rebirth

WAHAD'S THEME

2008-05-16T16:48:00.000-07:00

The path looks so free
Coast so clear
Peak quite near
Though words that imbibe fear
Resound in my ear
I really don't care
'cos to make it out there
We must live without fear

LITTLE KIDS

2008-05-16T16:46:00.000-07:00

Little kids, boys and girls
Born free like gold and pearls
So precious, so young and quite dumb
Just a few do wrong
They do and say whatever
However, wherever they are

Young at age three,
Little boys live free
Life seems stress free
Till they reminisce on history
Wayne heads and brain heads play
They all live like nerds

Cute little girls like baby dolls
Mild and gentle, so lovely;
Their toys are baby dolls
Little stress cause tears,
Flow like waterfalls

Little kids, little lesson; be cheerful
Stay faithful and be honest to your parents
Young delinquents, always stay true
Go to school and you'll surely make it through
All my love just for you
Precious boys and girls

RETRIBUTION: A BALLAD OF C.S. WAHAD

2008-05-16T16:39:00.001-07:00

He may look like a dumb beast
But don't call him a meek
His legs may be dusty with filth
But don't step on his feet
'cos he'll come for you using his fist

On a mission to retaliate
He traveled through states
So many hours, he just couldn't wait
Dressed in white, flooded with light
He walked through the night

Through a path, his words led the way
You stepped on my feet saying
'It was mistaken for the concrete'
You called a shot to strip me off my dear
Surely you thought I wouldn't hear

Wahad is here, not to imbibe fear
But to react and leave you right here
I fight with words and sometimes with swords
But today, I'll leave both for the gods
The guilty will plead but I'll make him bleed

This fateful day, I'll make him my prey
And when I'm done, retribution will lead the way
Just for him I traveled through states
Journey so long, I just couldn't wait
Now my wrath, he'll surely taste

Setting eye on his prey,
His viscous act carried the day
'cos no one stands in his way
And leaves with no pay

I picked the fact, now it justifies my act
For sure I've made an impact;
Broken jaw, bleeding nose
A nursery lesson for my foes

Another tread will be a feast;
Strictly for the beast
He'll come for you using his teeth
No longer his fists

SWEET TO SOUR TURNED BITTER

2008-05-16T16:35:00.003-07:00

He had a life, money kids and wife
He had options; life or death
To live or leave
Success or failure; to stand or fall
He took a chance and chose them all

To him life was like a buffet
Where he had it all
He could serve himself and do them all
Lifestyle so positive later turned negative
A family where fidelity reigned
Was where debauchery came

From drinking to drunken,
Fussing and fighting
He stormed out every night digging for something
Day after day was how he lived
Till he tasted the truth; so bitter

From sweet to sour, he tested positive
And bedridden the next hour
He had the money, wished for the start
But had no power
If only had he stayed positive
May he have tested negative

THANK YOU LORD

2008-05-16T16:19:00.000-07:00

I’m so grateful to You Lord
For this very day
It’s another day which you have made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
And like every other day,
I get to my knees and pray

Thank you Lord is what I say,
For this very faithful day
I will thrive off whatever today
Because your mercy endures forever I say

Grant me the strength to overcome today
And walk only in a righteous way
This is what I’ll always say
If I live to see another day

MY BIRTHDAY

2007-11-25T09:31:00.000-08:00

I'm happy to be a year older
Today, Saturday is my birthday
The day of the week I was truly born
Now in history, it’s so long gone

All praise and thanks be unto you Lord
For my life achievement is due to your glory
Born as my mum's third son, I'm now her third born
That’s my birthday; just like history, its so long gone

If I'm asked what I recall about my first day,
I'll rightly say it was my birthday and still is my birthday
My birthday is what it is and exactly what I say it is; history
And just like history, my birthday repeats itself

WAIT TILL THEN

2007-11-25T09:19:00.000-08:00

They think I wouldn't grow
'cos I'm above twenty-one
And speak with a tone so low
Wait till then, in a few years
Surely less than ten
Just about when I'll get bigger

Like the moon
My future will be so bright
And soon my enemies will go blind
Wait till then
I know they hate but I speak with faith
There will be so many eyes on me
But so much envy from my enemies
Will make their tears accumulate
'cos I'll be bigger than they'll accommodate

Some will hear but every one of them will see
Just what I'll grow to be
Wait till then
My enemies cry when I prophesy
So I guess they'll grieve when I achieve
I'll be like someone they've never seen
Wait till then and you'll know what I mean

WORDS TO A LAD

2007-10-26T05:41:00.003-07:00

Be a kid and take the lead
Lace your boot and lead your troop
Go to school and have a tool
Hold your head, don't be a nerd

Stay in school and play the rules
Be a youth and know your route
Walk the route and get a job
Use your head, don't be misled

Be a man and have a plan
Take a dive and grab a wife
Lay your bed and rest your head,
Then have some kids and live your life

LIFE

2007-10-26T05:41:00.001-07:00

Life seems short but Life is long
Life goes on while using your tongue
Accepted at birth and rejected by death
Life is a gift and Life isn’t short
Believe it or not.

DEATH

2007-10-26T05:39:00.000-07:00

Though the wages of sin is death
Death isn’t a punishment for sinners
but a certainty in every mortal life
A coward dies so many times but
A brave heart dies just once

Death calls several times
but comes just once,
It calls with no ID and takes what’s yours
People see death as a loss but
I see death as a must

Death comes in a second and
Surely leaves a record;
It leaves when a heart dies
And causes loud cries
My death will lead me to paradise
So don’t cry in the event of my demise

BALLAD OF A 'SOULJA'

2007-10-26T05:36:00.001-07:00

He came, He wrote and He spoke
He spoke with courage, words that encourage
but He left at an early age
My heart has wept for a decade
with tears flowing in a cascade

They claimed he was violent
because He refused to be silent
but when He left, they all wept
A tattoo of him is engraved in my heart
So we both will never be apart
A decade since He's been gone, He's still not done

I don't expect His return because
Machiavelli's return made Him the Don
Some think He's dead while some think He's not
But the truth is
He lives Like it or not

MY MINOR FEATURES

2007-10-26T05:35:00.001-07:00

I walk with stiff foot stamps
My thighs are thick, body's lithe
As tall as a beast who's just an inch shy of six ft.
Head up, chest out, abs tight
I'm ever ready to fist fight
My frequent smiles obscure my outlaw mind
But a close watch tells I'm one of a kind

I'm a Whiteboy! Not describing my race
but setting a pace for the human race
I'm white cos always in my heart, untainted thoughts are all I conceive
Thanks to my African sun
My skin looks brown and just like James Brown,
I'll say it loud; I'm black and I'm proud!

I speak with a clear note, a few quotes
but with no litotes
Introspective but never apprehensive,
Savoir faire is my personality
With my soft talk and light words,
you might label me a meek
But a peep, quite deep might disclose to you
the life I lead; I'm an intrepid

WHAT SHE WORTHS

2007-10-26T05:29:00.003-07:00

I searched and she was found
then a relationship was bound
I esteem her more than scepters and thrones
And compare her to none of those
I now see riches as nothing because
with her I know I’ve got something

I reckon no priceless stone as her peer
For compared with her, gold seems so old
and beside her, diamonds are just stones
I adore her more than wealth and beauty
and prefer her voice to the sound of the 60’s

I love her more than daylight
and even a peaceful night because
Her radiance never sleeps; even at night
On her shoulder she gets a kiss from me
Because in her company all good things come to me
On my shoulder she rests whenever she’s stressed
'cos I’m a 'soulja' ever willing to hold her

HEART TO HEART

2007-10-26T05:29:00.001-07:00

Heart to heart, you and me,
A soul mate I need
and a true friend indeed
Yours and mine together as one
United we’ll stand but divided we’ll fall

Heart to heart is a plan that works
Talking with you and sharing real thoughts
Feeling alone? Call on my phone
Never again will you be on your own

Your heart for my heart, what about that?
Walk on my path and I won't break your heart
Heart to heart we should live just as one;
Sincere soul mates and not just bed mates

FEW ABOUT YOU

2007-10-26T05:28:00.002-07:00

I like your style but don’t ask me why
Your eyes, your nose, your lips and your smile
The way you look is something I like
You are that someone I really do like

I love what you say and all what you do
The way you talk and the way you walk
I love your hair and all what you wear
I want you right here and quite very near

Here is a fact and its just about you;
A poem of you looks should be put in two books
'cos there’s more than a lot that I like about you

BLACK SISTER

2007-10-26T05:28:00.001-07:00

Black sister never frowns
She stays cheerful, ever faithful
and never rude to a brotha who tries to intrude
With the look of an image seeming newly created,
She's a queen of her own kind
True one of her kind but never heavy on her mind
Her brown skin, thin lips, curved hips say it all;
Black sister's so classy, she can do it all

Born with a tough heart, she's a true wife material
She's never among the minority 'cos education is her priority
She speaks with a clear note and a sound tone;
Sure, black sister's from a good home
On the outer, she's a queen
Adverse, she's an angel
She's quick to get whats hers 'cos she never depends on others
A friend to all but a mate to one; thats her, true black sister

Black sister is beautiful and intelligent
She's a damsel in every pageant
Strong, bold and firm in all aspects, she's ever true to all
She's a gift to mankind 'cos her presence is of great essence
She's the right one, the one who comes with an unconditional love
Take her to mama and you'll never regret; that surely, I can bet
'cos with just one stride and her by your side, you'll cross a dam

Black sister's a lucky charm

A LEWD VERSE

2007-10-26T05:26:00.001-07:00

You’re so fine that my hunger for just a touch of you
urges me to commit the crime of sweet talking
and love making to you both at a time
Charge me for the crime and impose a fine,
you wouldn’t get a dime but
I’ll sex you real fine that you’ll climax six times
in line before my time

MY HEART

2007-10-26T05:25:00.000-07:00

Just like it has been doing since I was a seed
It beats and so long as I live, it will never seize
Even when I’m deceased
Funny it seems but its essence is far more than keeping me alive
My heart will never die; it will always live even when I leave

FUCK A THREAT

2007-10-26T05:20:00.000-07:00

Fuck a threat!

Guns or anything lethal may draw blood

but words don't draw blood

Say it to my face and hope you could

but just a slight move will do

I respect all but I fear none except God

Fuck a threat!

In my own words, fuck all threats!

These are my words;

I succumb to none of those

No matter whom they're from,

Friends or foes

MY DREAMS

2007-10-26T03:13:00.000-07:00

Hoping for better days, I dream and quest for the best
but just like you I'll never recall my first
So tight, my dreams stay glued to my heart
Tight and keen to my dreams that we'll never be apart
Without an order I salute the sky when the sun shines
So without an order should I keep my dreams alive

MY MIND STATE

2007-10-26T03:08:00.000-07:00

My mind state is ever active
Pious when I pray and aggressive when I play
Its completely dumb 'cos what it stands for speaks for itself
God comes first, family next, sport, food and sex

My mind state is ever active and sometimes passive
Military when I work, eager when I strive,
Loyal to every way of life
Locked and fully loaded with words,
it triggers after each of my thought

My mind state is ever active and never static
Always in use and quite friendly to my muse
Blessed with art and poetry, it reacts to words that sound poetic
My mind state is ever true in each word
and blessed by the Lord my God

MY DEAR MAMA

2007-10-26T03:05:00.000-07:00

A mother is the purest form of love
Dear mama, you are a living proof to that
'cos love and even more is the most you've given to me
In turn, love till infinity is what you'll get from me
You are the one, my dearest mama, one and only
And that's enough reason to love you till I stop breathing

Dear mama, something about you is one that will never change
You are my mama and I'm your son in exchange
Right in my heart lives one fact;
In my life, you've made an impact
With much sweat and no regret, you gave me birth
And till my last breath, you, I'll never forget

Recalling my childhood years,aging 3, 5, 7 with my peers
You taught me a lot and bought me toys
But I never played with toys
'cos your reply was 'yes' when I asked to play with the hood boys
To me you've never said, this resounds in my head;
Appreciate and never hate
Now up till date, you are the woman I most appreciate

AFRICAN SUN

2007-10-26T03:03:00.000-07:00

African sun my African sun
Pouring down your intense heat
On my head you show no mercy and
On my skin you show no pity

You make the ground look baked
And as I walk the street
I feel the heat eating its way
through my shoes and into my feet

African sun my African sun
Seducing me to stay and play till my Grey days
That's okay, but I'll rather celebrate my next birthday
far away from you my African sun

SEX

2007-10-26T02:57:00.000-07:00

It’s a pleasure many desire but just an act I admire
Seducing her with my thews and biceps, I get her wet
And by caressing her breasts I make her feel my chest
A soft kiss on her belly makes her horny
and with my first dip she calls me honey

Going deep I stay firm like she desires
and not expecting the favor returned
I’ll never ask for a refund
I jerk softly to make her rest
But with no disrespect, I caress her breasts

Going deeper I make her scream, up and down
just as she leans; I stay cautious not to have it torn
But with an aim to make her ‘come’
I jerk harder just for her satisfaction but
I gain mine by making her ‘come’

FUCK FRIENDS

2007-10-26T02:53:00.000-07:00

Fuck friends! I used to have four but that was before
They come and go but you'll never know if your thoughts stay low
Keep yours close and let them go if they wish to
They'll surely do when you have no money
But come through calling you buddy
Only when you've got money

Fuck friends! I used to have some, now I've got none
I'll never have more cos to the four I used to know, I'm a foe
To me they were no good cos by me they never stood
Nothing did matter when my pocket got fatter
With money they called me buddy but lil' did they know
I had no buddy, just one hommie

Got friends? Fuck friends! I'm still saying, Fuck friends!
In their hood I stood cos with the others its was all good
To my so called friends, this is how it ends
Shit's changed! With you I stayed down
But in exchange I got a frown
Adios! cos soon I'll be out of town
