My thoughts are weak
Without your heartbeats to make it tick
It stays dumb it can barely speak
Fails at communicating
Constantly my mind bleeds, lyrically mensurating

Your heart is my champion
In the face of adversity, it's a Lion
Even in old age it beats down rage
Nothing can hold it down, it was built stronger than a steel cage

Like water and blood, we believed we would never mix
Always words apart, we were separated like five and six
So we broke the rules, committed sin
In the end, our love was openly seen

Cast the first stone if you were born innocent
Love never grows old, it's always an adolescent
Even after a century, it still maintains it's good looks
If you doubt me, read the ancient books

For God so loved the world
He gave us the word
Ours was a forbidden love so from hell we created sunset, digging up love buried like landmines
Together we were a whirlwind, our union was atomic, blowing away minds

Your word is sunrise, it takes me to a morning where night never comes
We were called mad because we danced all day, we pitied them, deaf they heard not the beating of the drums
A world with only sunrise, no moonlight
Your word is sunset it speaks me a world without night

    Your word is sunrise, it takes me to a morning where night never comes.

    Think of that as your word but whenever I read your write-ups some takes me to cloud 9 and some make me ask like will ask now "was this written for me''?

    The answer might be a no because like blood and water we can't mix

I am not afraid of the storm Facing it alone isn't something I would lose sleep over But I want to conquer with you Set anarchy to never after Bring liberty to forever more Alone we are survivors, caging the fiercest waves Swimming the deepest seas But, hand in hand we would drown the ocean You and I, we would drink the rivers dry And spit out islands Kingdavid Chinaeke Ofunne Authorpreneur

Solomon's Lair!

By
Rated 18 Solomon's lair  I almost refused to go for the birthday party this year. Solomon always hosted a party every year, and as usual, I always gave the opening speech and acted as the MC too. I hated the drama and fake smiles all around. Each year, new faces present, old faces absent. New Friends present, Old friends lost, only me stagnant. I was always present as the best friend, the loyal soldier, meanwhile I was notoriously known for not celebrating my own birthday. It was so bad that most of my friends didn't even know my date of birth, just my age. Yes, it was that bad! It was an exhausting exercise for me. The cake and speeches, by God I hated the hypocrisy. So this year I swore to him by the old gods and new, that I wasn't gonna be in the spotlight of his special day. I just wanted to drink and chill quietly in solitude. Surprisingly, without any fuss, he obliged me. ''Obi is now a man o'' I smiled. ...

Riotous Love

By
I have always found Tony, my boyfriend, fascinating His write-ups and rants about bad governance and patriarchy got me wet and awestruck every single time I visited his timeline  Whenever he wrote a piece on Facebook and Twitter, he got thousands of likes and comments I always read every comment, especially from women who were mesmerized by his writing prowess I was once part of such women until I decided to shoot my shot, and, like cupid, I hit him straight in the heart A simple "Hello, I've read and enjoyed all your stories, maybe you could write ours someday, hope I'm not overreaching?" I had to drink almost a full bottle of bailey's to find courage for that stunt, and today, we are celebrating 8 months of the best love story ever. He was my Mr. Perfect, everything I could ever ask for and more It wasn't surprising when he asked me to join him and go for the peaceful protest here in Lagos, and like a love-struck puppy, quickly I jumped up and said yes That ...
