Sometimes....

SOMETIMES...

Sometimes...
when you cry,
no one sees your tears.

Sometimes...
when you are in pain,
no one sees your hurt.

Sometimes...
when you are worried,
no one sees your stress.

Sometimes...
when you are happy,
no one sees your smile.

But fart just ONE TIME!

BECAUSE I'M A WOMAN - Ojo Olayinka Peters

They say "you can't give what you don't have"
The world can't contain what I do have
Like sunset yellow my beauty shines
 forth
Against harsh elements my love is a fort

Am I a lady or a woman?
Honestly I really don't know
I'm both, depends on the view
I love myself - not selfishly - but selflessly

Some call me weak
I'm the epitome of strength
I'm an awesome compliment
Even when some don't complement

My life's not perfect
Like a village school prefect
With me you can't miss the effect
Beyond a generation - my choices affect

I'm strength in a frail frame
Hope for those with failed aim
Life with me is never a game
Side by side we achieve the aim

I view life outside the box
It's not all about muscles like an ox
I'm incredible, quite not a hulk
I don't deal in pieces I go for bulk

I bleed to make life a viable seed
I cry when that's just what I need
I give my all even with plea
I take my stand even when men flee

Because I'm a woman
I never regret my role
Without me life is not whole
I will never swap for being a man

Love Undying - Joseph Uwa

Love Undying.

Animosity in play.
He hopes she wouldn't stay.
His heart obstinate with dismay.
Couldn't be molded like clay.
Broken to the core.
In his eyes, she's filled with a flaw.
Convicted her already, can he restore!
Concealing the memories into the floor.
Why did this go wrong?
Why beat the gong?
Used to be love undying.
Reminiscing, slowly crying.
She touches him by the cheek.
His heart quietly retreat.
Sudden feelings for her clicks.
As he hears her heartbeat.
Obsessed, can't let her go.
As the oceans, his love for her flows.
Her touch inspired his heart.
No worries all forgotten past.

New Dawn - Joseph Uwa

New Dawn

Dream of twisted turns.
Reality burns.
Salvation repels.
Unknown suavities propels.
Creation filled with fear.
Blood dripping as tear.
Cold emotions.
Blurred notions.
Uneven heart.
Blotted path.
Pathetic soul in the open.
Unapologetic words spoken.
Revealing the mind.
In a world blind.
Finding itself underground.
Death at it's bound.
Etched on it's forehead.
Summoned by the dead.
Motivated not shaken.
The new dawn is awaken.

The Love Of Betrayal - Ọjọ Olayinka Peters

Sanity is infirm
Madness is in fame
Day and night are dark the same
With glory on the wall of shame

Hate reeks in your breath
Fungi thrive on your bread
You offer poison for breakfast
With you my heart breaks fast

You lie to me when I lie with you
You spike my drink with hypo
"I will kill you " was your typo?
Still, I will never call you a bimbo

I see the concealed dagger with its rust
Though never earned, I gave you my trust
Aim right at my heart, go ahead and stab
Won't hurt as much as the stab in the back

Your lips remind me of a kiss in the garden
Like a hard boiled egg, you fast harden
There's an ouch in your tender touch
You light the tree house with naked torch

Betrayal is savoury like suya
The joy of conceit
Even with loya milk you're quite disloyal
The sweet juice of deceit

Do you call this rage?
Rather it's haemorrhage
My heart bleeds in black ink
So heavy that in a drop of water would sink

The love of betrayal is vague
Eating bone deep like a plague
Falsehood that seems so keen
Like a diamond that lost its Sheen
