I STILL MISS YOU.

I still miss you, that’s what is ringing in my mind

Nights are lonely; days are becoming so sad,

So I pick my pen and paper to write

About the  love that we shared and times we had

The games we played and the music we heard

Like a famished baby missing its suckling breast milk…I still miss you

Like a girl missing her candy sweet…I still miss you

I still feel you like a guy missing the chocolate on his lover’s lips

Like a square hole missing the square peg

I miss the way you used to make them beg.


I remember that fateful day I met you

I was lonely with no friend to hang with like a statue

You came into my world with a big bang

You gave me a brand and big smile

You told me you love my style as we said our first “hi”

I still can’t believe you left without saying goodbye

Deep in my mind I keep wondering why

Cos from the bottom of my heart…I still miss you.


You invaded my world with magic my sweet friend

Like five and six together we just blend

I can’t forget how people used to be jealous of our company

They always say together we seem clever and cunning

But the truth is you kept me coming

Always at my back preventing me from falling

Even when others are backstabbing, you stood by me

And told me to be outstanding.


I still miss the season of seasons

The season we lived together for a sole reason

The time we shared together is like a shooting star

Though it was short but those times with you I felt like the superstar

The times we sang and danced to the rock star

And those times we made each other feel like a real gangster

We ate and drank sharing equally our loaf of bread

We shared our dreams; we even shared our little bed

Sleeping with you was fun cos' you always tell stories

that made us go red.


 I remember your words so soft and tender

I remember the smell of your cream beyond others

Though I never remember us bath together

But I remember we read and solved math's together

Our life was twine from different angles

Then I believe it takes more than one just to tangle

 

I still miss you my brother and my friend

You are more than this to me cos' then you weave in deep in more than any other

The day I heard of your demise, I felt life’s crazy remix

When I didn’t hear from you for long I knew something was amiss

I was told you fell sick before your final exit.

I felt bad remembering together in the room we are fantastic four

You, Bayo, Molar and I always hustling to get the fork

We shared our joy and pain together, constantly gyming to keep in form

That day we lost a friend (Kunle DMX) we fought side by side in the struggle

Even those times were tough but we still won the battle

Now with you there is no forever

Because you are already by Babylon’s River.

We started together from elementary but it so

Sad you are lying low in the cementary.

 

I still miss you Seun Ralph

Looking through my pictures, I still feel you

I miss your outfit that tend to stand you out

Your trendy big trousers and many shirts by Ralph Lauren

No wonder they called you Seun Ralph, so tall like a Giraffe.

I still miss those raps you taught me

Tupac, Nas and Biggie you always bestowed me.

I remember the time we plaited our hair

And everyone thought we were crazy flying in the air.

You inspired me in your little way friend

You brought out the game in me,

Though your character was questionable

But most people still found you fashionable

Not forgetting how you iron a shirt spending hours on the table

 

I still miss you like the last girl that left

Giving me no notice, turning my heart from right to left

I kept it together but I still shed little tears on my bed

Even though that was the first time, the miracle was

For a while so I had to learn to shift gears on time

She cried, I cried till the rivers run dry.

Seun Ogunseye tribute to you as we carry you in our heart till we die

I burn out candles for you in a moment of silence,

I still miss you friend as your Gentle Soul Rests in Peace

Out of this world of violence.

 

 GOONIGHT….Not Goodbye

 

TO ALL THE FALLEN HEROES....  OUR HEART GOES OUT TO YOU.

A GOOD EYES.



I have an Eye for Good things, this i'm about to but to Ink.

I have an Eye for Good things; this is the story i'm about to Sing

Good things are created, they are not calculated
They are made for us to be evaluated
Always near us so we will be elevated.

Good things are all around us, 
Every step we take they all surrounds us
They are beautiful,elegant, and exquisite.
Spread over like rainbow so Explicit.
Good things are not always the right thing 
But the right thing is always the good thing
Which is why all that is Gold is ever glittering.

I have an Eye for good thing, this is my true and absolute confession,
Good shoes, good clothes, good cars
Good houses even good Ladies all this I want in my possession.
These things are not easy to gather
It takes hard work and Gods Intervention together.

I have an eye for good things, that's why I am a Property Manager.
Good ladies that have great things
Good booty, good chest, and good round thing that's called a blessing.
Ladies that are structurally done and intellectually sound 
Ladies that have things that make my heart skip around.

"Don't you ever wonder why my eyes are so big"
I have an Eye for good things; this is why my eyes are not so thin. 
I see and I visualize the potentials in everything.
My Focal point is sharp and my lens so distinct 
This made me to capitalize on my very Instinct.

I have an eye for good things
That is why i am putting it to ink
I have an eye for good things
This is why i think, I have an eye for you..!

DEATH CONDOLE HEALTH

Over the deep blue sea
Towards the Indiana ocean
A message was passed across
Filled with pensive emotions
How more sadder could this be
Death defeated health for all to see.

She fought for us all to be healthy
By being the voice of the helpless and the needy
Brought sanity and decorum to the system
By her an illicit drug illegality was stemmed
She was a catalyst, an agent of change
Took the risk for you and i beyond the page.

An Administrator, internationally acclaimed Pharmacist
A technocrat, deligent and so explicit
Against impunity her voice was stiffened
Until yesterday that death and health became even.
We will forever remember your good works
As you rest on the bosom of your good Lord.

Rest in Peace; Professor Dora Akunyili (NAFDAC DG)
