I AM OCTOBER

October for me is a month to remember,

A month i came into this world to become a member
A month of Green, a month of Keen, a month my nation celebrates her win.
A month of completeness, a month that brings out its fruits in its richness.

A month full of Great minds, 
I can start mentioning names if you won't mind.
A month of abilities and optimum possibilities
A birth month of people filled with massive creativity.

As for me i know 
I can write, draw, sing and cook
My mind and hand works together to write the book
I have the Midas touch, i can make it work
I can play instruments of all kinds
Even on that beautiful lady my hand can be so kind.
I am October, the pride of the Nation
The Spirit of all round occasion.

If you look vividly, its common to us all.
Checking through other October friends profile, you can feel we all play the ball.
Its a basic independent instinct that runs through us
This also makes us ride like Prince and Princess on the horse.
Because we are special, we have eyes for good things and we don't entertain mediocrity
We are people of dignity and great Integrity
We have in  us a seed of success and self-esteem
We are a force fashioned to invade the city

We are Unique, born to make a difference.

We are children of grace planted by the riverside, to flourish in essence.
We are who we are, we are the son of the most high.
We need not to smoke Ganjaa before we are lifted high.
We do it naturally, we are blessed Spiritually.

                  C- Creative & Confident

MY AUGUST cRUSH

MY AUGUST c-RUSH

Dearest Sweet,

I am writing you this note with a deep sense of emotion, not in anger or pain but with a heart weak and frail. Throwing back to how we first met, I felt a feeling of divinity on the page I set. I since have no regret falling in love with you but what I felt is like sage on stage that can’t be turned to rage.

The day we had our first meeting was the day I almost had a conviction that you are the dream I seek, I tried to play my cool yet I don’t want the world to see me a fool. I tried my best to get close to you, expressing myself through every medium I could yet you won’t just let your guards loose. All I want to do is to take a slow step towards you by being your friend and giving you a reason to be my boo.

 I love you and I can’t phantom why, I have never been this obsessed to someone in my life. I find it hard to love others even though I tried; I find it hard to play their ball just because my heart is stuck with yours. It is said that the best and most beautiful things in life cannot be seen or touched, but are felt in the heart of love. My heart has chosen you out of all; it is only you my soul calls.

                Sweet, the reason for this note is not to sermonize you or profess again my undying love, not to tell you how I’m ready to make you my world but to express my sincere and deepest thought.  I feel humiliated a thousand times, I’ve been hurt by you so many times, this feeling kill me inside and makes me feel emotional suicide. Those times you ignored my messages and chose to respond at your own will, those times you missed my calls and you never feel it right to text or return, those days of our supposed meeting and you never showed up and never apologize or give a reason. I wish you could put yourself in my shoes and feel how it hurts loving someone and the person makes you feel less ordinary or makes you feel a fool.

I believe everybody deserves somebody who makes them look forward to tomorrow, someone who can share their joy and sorrow. To me, I always believe that someone could be you, maybe I’m wrong, maybe I goofed, but I know it’s only God that can approve.

I still believe meeting you was not an accident as it seems, it’s for a reason and only God knows why he sent you here, I hope one day to me it will be clear. Maybe you don’t feel the same way I feel, maybe it’s just me. I would have loved you say your mind and heart instead of tearing me apart.

I guess our heart we both should follow, hope the grass is greener on the other side as we both find tomorrow.

Yours Insane.

MY BROWN SUGAR

This is truly stuff of which dreams are made,
looking to my yester-years, looking back to my past companies,
I have never had a mind set, not even a central focus,
Never being so obsessed to someone I like so much. 
Oh Lord this feeling I can’t fight,
I can’t hold it any more so I made up my mind to write.
To write about my sweet saga with my one & only brown sugar
Having an Angelic Swagger.

I remember the first time you crossed my path,
You made me to know what real angels are about
And what grace they amount.
Though then you are cute shy and small
But now you are dark bold & tall,
You are so interesting your smile brings lot of blessing,
You are a single thing  that’s the expression & definition of everything, 
You captured my heart easily,
You are different from them all brown sugar you are a sweet mystery. 
You can be described  a single rose that makes my single garden host
It will never smell like a grass just because it’s growing in the mist of it
A rose will always be a rose regardless of where it exist.

Oh my brown sugar, with you my soul will always linger. 
Your taste is like a honey that cost no money;
You are just like dew from the rise of the morning. 
I can’t forget your lovely attitude
And the mistake I made trying to catch up with you.
Its one story I share & I hope one day it’s going to clear through.
My fate lie’s in you, with you only I want to reign & rule;
You are the only one I want to make my boo. 
I want you as my cheerleader
To give me the strength to be a true leader. 

These words may sound so blunt, just like a song from James Blunt
But remember it’s a soul hunt and its coming straight from my soul's pot. 
All I want from you my brown sugar is by you my life to be gingered
Be my glory ever, till my ransomed soul shall find rest beyond the river. 
You are just good to be true; with you my dreams will ever come true.
Sugar my Coffee, Sugar my Tea
So together we can sail across the ocean & blue sea. 
                               
LOVE YOU ……Brown Sugar.

MY BLACKBERRY

Oh my beautiful blackberry, you have made my heart go merry.
You took away all my worries; since I met with you I have never being sorry.
You are cute, slick and dearie, you’ve made your love inside my heart to be buried 
Everyone wants to have you, the whole world longs for you but as far as I have you,
I will tell it to the world how much I love you.
You have revived me again, my noble and elegant stallion,
Its by you I want to make my first billion.

Oh my beautiful bb, seeing you stabilizes my b.p. 
Now everyone always beep me
All because they love your sound, that pings.
Everywhere its only you I want to carry, 
Am so addicted that I don’t need to tarry.
You reminds me of the man I am and why I need to marry,
Though taking it step by step and not being in a hurry.

Oh my beautiful blackberry, 
I will savor you like a fruity cherry
Its only you that makes my life happy and cheery.
Even though i have tasted so many
Yet you can’t be compared to any,
Not even the blueberries & raspberries 
They don't have the fragrance of your skin that’s so hairy.
I love the taste of the strawberry on your lips
Also the scintillating roundness and firmness of your hips
Even though admired by so many, yet you cant be compared to any.

Raspberries are sweet, blueberries are filling, 
Strawberries are subjective but blackberries are addictive.

You are the mother of all berries,
You are black, bold & beautiful,
You make my life go wonderful.
Your delightful presence filled me with joy,
Fascinating me like a child's toy.

This note is for you my blackberry; 
You delight me more than the Grammys.

Like an award of Excellence, 
You are my total preference,

THE UNFAITHFUL SON

Whoever wants to come to equity must come with clean hands,
But my iniquities has got me hanging that I can’t stand.
Washed in water, dug in sand
I was lost in the wind
The tide got me blind
The devil in me wins, now I'm so bound
I’m the unfaithful son, I look beyond the cloud.

The more I try to run from sin
The more iniquities encompass me.
The more I try to play holy
The strong man in me changes the story.
He takes me to the hill top
Shows me the goodies of the world.
Knowing I have an eye for good things
He lures me with sweet words.
Now I am bound, the devil in me wins
Yes I’m so silly, giving her a chance to swing.

Every-time I ascend the mountain to ask for Mercy
He awaits my descend and play me up like Messi
He plays the mind game and makes me go back the same
Now all I can do is to cover my face in shame.
Every-time I leave your holy Alter
He let me goof and make me falter.
Every-time I leave your presence
My sin multiplies in excess.
Now I'm losing communication
Because of my dirty and funny occasion (fornication).
Occasion of my mind, occasion of my soul
Funny occasion (_) of my eyes,
Exorcise me Lord and make me whole.

I’m drifting off, I need your communion.
Take it over, take total dominion.
I'm tired of living, yet afraid of dying
The clock is ticking and my heart keeps bleeding.
I lost my pen, my pad is lying fallow
I’ve lost my head, sin as got me swallowed
I’m back oh father; cast me not away any further. 
Without you I don’t know where to go
If you leave me I will lose total control.
Take me out of the world
Take the world out of me
Innumerable evil have surrounded me
They are more than hairs of my head

My heart faileth me, now I can’t move ahead
Give me a new heart, purge me of my sins,
Shine your light Lord; take this darkness out of me.

I am not perfect, that’s just an aspect.
Yes I have failed you,
A thousand time lord I have nailed you. 
Rising and falling shows I'm unfaithful, 

Faithful father, Please be merciful.
I kneel before thy thrown, take me as your own.
Sacrifice and offering thou did not desire
My burnt offering and sin offering has thou not require.
I am the unfaithful son
You are a faithful father
I look up to the sun, to see your Glory ever.

A STRANGE ANGEL

With the piece of feather she left from her wings
I dipped my mind in a special jar of ink.
She’s a strange Angel with an enthralling act
An impeccable cosmos called the universe
The kind that makes me script my words in verses
And later make me sing my song inversely.             

I encountered her glory on a particular Sunday
Few minutes around her turned my darkness into a sunny day
She displayed so much of a majestic radiance
With an aura of a stunning loving ambiance.
Her eyes glittered like a diamond stone
Her voice was of a celestial cymbal tone
Her cherubic smile touches the marrow of my bone
She has just the right wings to complete my own.
Her style is different, not like the ones you know
A sweet rhapsody that ravished my very soul
Her lips are conspicuous like a sculpted cone
Her hair cascade down like a glorious river flow
Smart and intelligent she treads softly not a feel of stone
She’s just an Angel in a world of her own.

I knew the heavenly must have sent her my way
I knew how complete I felt when I saw her glowing face
I saw the shining light within her scintillating soul
I knew in my life she has a special role
A paragon of beauty spotless without seams
A colourful rainbow full of heavenly dreams
Wings that glimmers in the golden sun
Like the sunshine state where she’s actually from.

It’s been months I met and last saw this Angel
I wish I could meet her again for us to gel
However she kept drifting off like the fragrance of the breeze
Maybe to savour the flowers and the wailing trees
Even though her promises to me she plays on and sways
I pray the heavenly will again send her my way.
She will be my sunshine with a sweetness that won’t end
She will complete my lines and be my closest friend
So I will run with this Rhapsody just to turn my imagination into reality
Expecting her help one day to become a better celebrity
I’m holding on to this single and astonishing feather
Hoping one day to me her special wings she will deliver.

BEYOND THE ORDINARY

Sorrow, tears and blood
Filled every date of my diary
Scattered bodies and souls
Marching their way to the cemetery.
How did it get to this.?
My esteemed Nigerian dream
Our leaders must be sleeping in their plenary
Politicizing the Assembly, playing to the gallery
Wallow and swimming in heresy
Devising mischief and delivering wicked counsel in their seating
Greedy pattern, resources embezzled with no pity


Great pandemonium in the land
Blood sucking Babylonians invaded from behind
Marching gallantly everywhere
Also from sambisa to the FCT
Scattered body parts seen more than twice on the street
Our Armed forces spins, swallowing another pill of defeat
Sorrow, tears and blood, an everyday blog
Fulani herdsmen also killing
Shedding innocent blood with no feelings
Our school boys slained and maimed
By the Babylonians in Zion city gate
Our young girls abducted and restrained
Sold away as sex slaves
Lost in chibok before the crow of the cock
Men in uniform, deceiving and killing in the name of the Lord
Sponsored by the high and mighty
Sabotaging for the purpose of hierarchy
Leading on to the state of Anarchy
Northern monsters feeding on human meat
Callous bastards, aiming for the highest sit.

Let him wear it, he who thinks the cap fits
But remember, uneasy lies the head that wears the Crown
Not to think of sitting on the hot sit.
This is the more reason we need to stand
Stand has a nation and stand in gap
Intercede in prayers and erase the frown
In unison lets fight this battle
Lets cry to God for a brand new Mantle
Even though at present we have a weak and feeble head
Shoeless and Clueless as some have said
But lets pray and put an end to these blood sheds
Lets preach peace and unity by staying together
Lets once again make love with one another.
Only if we can see beyond our nose
The pestilence that has invaded our coast
Then we will see through my diary
That what as befallen us is beyond the Ordinary.
