Complex There she goes again, Lady of hearts, I knew she would come this direction. Necks and heads bend in her position, Minds she toss, hearts she breaks. A lady my fear Can I know why? Yet love have felled me so much for her. O love were but to me a page Then ne'er would I cower for her. Hand in hand, fleshly confluence. One smile, two smiles Both talk and laugh. How that guy faints me dead with hatred, And she doesn't even feel I care. O lady, my lady, Hear my heart. Your magnet so strong I can't resist, My dreams brim of none entity but you, Come prod me, the lady I wish I could talk. |
Missing She Days go by and nights trudge on, The sky is empty, clouds heavy Silence so loud in streets full of people The children cry and play like statues Statue, my heart and soul Fixed in dreams, fantasies of you One minute like forever, Eternity without you You, my heart I will always love you. |
NATURAL MYSTIC, by Doghudje Doghudje Surulere Lagos, Nigeria. July 1, 2002 When the wind played music, The trees whispered gleely to one another Bent succulent behinds and danced. To which the sun lusted And smiled extra beams. Which stirred passion in the sea Shimmering, shivering and tossing Like a virgin On the day of discovery. The flowers wave and clap to the birds' Synchronised ballet to the tune In the blue theatre of the clouds. But all was hushed by the moon Whose pale face a tragic ballad Of her faithfuless bloke cavort With teenish belles in space Now she conducted the wind Into elegiac adagios of love And told her children of stars To twinkle their tears on nature. |
INSPIRATION From where do you come, my darling That you look so charming and sweet See your face as radiant as the sun And your fragrance fresh as of dew I so treasure those eyes of diamond Pure and innocent like a child's A waterfall of ebony your hair Silk and smooth they are Your nose much like the white man's A beauty, a mystery of its own Smile, my love, please smile Smile and knock me off my feet again. |

POEMS OF SOUL |
LOVE love alone i can't understand a heart of love, a heavy burden a loveless heart , a heavier burden which then could be better my life i have got to live heights i really must climb but how is it i can read or climb with a heart heavy from love or not how very scarce true love could be money spent, energy wasted yet true love remains evasive pocket for the heart, words for the mind how then can true love be found love alone conquers a man my soul and spirit drained of strength body and mind weak of will how i wish i never knew love how much i yearn for what is real love |
DESIRE What else can i think of? how else can i imagine? this feeling won't leave me the desire can't go where are you, my dreams? where do you go my heart? my body weaks from loving you my soul sinks from seeking you away my sorrow, leave me free me into my dreams for there i am comforted to meet my heart, a queen. |
RAINBOW RAIN if only you could rain again today the way you rained yesterday and leave a rainbow tomorrow like you left before even though the years go by seasons come and go still your rainbow nourish me with colourful joy at midday it zips across the cloudy sky invisible aurora at dusk and at dawn, it binds my heart with strength at the sight of your epitaph knowing you live forever and ever and even more. |
ODYSSEY sun bask at noon frayed nerves frying thirst herculean dense body limps from frenzy sloppy drags bedraggles scattered soul to sheol night of road is nigh? no! bight of quest is burned? yes!! yet light must end the tunnel even yet, so yet it must and ligaments suckle fat on hope arid winds refine passion prejudice laugh at odyssey patientful my lonely trudge with zeal to laugh the longest. |
BE THY VAL My Countrymen unite Pray, crucify she-hatchet Whose cord is bent by years Her hair a gray from time Tis colourless love we need To plenty peace and feast Ne'er allergy of tribe or language Which fathers blood and tears Be thy val., North and South Intersperse, East and West For we mother who born Across rainbow rivers and lakes Among the hills, bland plateaus, down valleys Through thick rainforests and deserts To one Nation she weld. BETRAYAL Because love to me was first I was hately rewarded first Because I cared to make few friends I have lost count of my enemies Because I feared to harm a fly I was harmed much severely Because I gave my food in all I now boast and strut with beggars Because I was loyal like a dog Now I have no confidant Because I took the truth to heart I swallowed in all their truthful lies Because I made wisdom my mother I am orphaned by foolishness How wicked it is to be good And good to be wicked This betrayal I can't repay But yet I can't retain. |
HOLD ME HIGH Hold me high, Above my head. Above wet waters that run wide Amidst famished fire that eats all Around the bend that never ends Through this world, the days of my life Hold me high. |
