The Must-Haves (Adeolu Timothy)

I used to think love was blind,
But now I think it's just ignoring me.
There is someone for everyone, They say!
Won't rest till I find my soft and curvy, I said!
Till fishes fly,
Till birds swim,
I'll swim a shark infested waters,
Race across plain deserts.
Love is a little messed up sometimes.
Love is a simple thing in our head,
Put it in the real world,
It becomes decimated.
You can't put love on paper.
You have a better chance of bleeding your heart out
Through a paper cut than through a pen.
It's crazy!
Sometimes when you are chasing love,
It's like the whole world is on your side.
Feels like the Universe is pushing you in certain direction.
No matter how much your brain thinks he controls you,
There's always that override switch.
While chasing love,
A lot pass you by.
The people in your life so important,
That they do off everything else.
But Alas!
A distraction from my distraction.
A realization-,
The beauty about being a writer,
Is creating your own ending.
I won't be a slave to love any longer,
I'm taking my heart in my hands.
I'm sailing a new course.
I'm appreciating every friend
That's put a smile on my face.
This is dedicated to you.
The must-haves.
***********************************
If you are to give up everything else and spend
The rest of your days on a boat,
Who are the must haves?
Figure out your list and do everything you can to make them know.

MAAMI

Maami , The molder, The Teacher, The disciplinarian. Your igbati-igbamu Is the best tool I’ve ever seen When it comes to child training, Your igbaju olooyi is the best choice For Cognitive Recalibration Your winks and pinches Speaks volume, More than the best dissertation ever written. You spoke both words and lashes. Employing each at the right moments. Lashes were for the day, Words were for the nights. How and where you Got the confidence to beat with Orogun, I still wonder till date. They call it child abuse You call Ibawi Spare the rod, Spoil the child Was your daily watchword Stranger asked if I was birthed by you Or given out for servitude Yet at that, You were the sweetest. Countless nights you woke me, As if for a conversation, But I get welcomed From the sweet sounding sleep With a round of applause My face being the victim Even when I developed Tolerance to your beating You explored my body

Your look is like the gaze of the sun, Like ice, it melts my heart. Your smile compares to an evening sunset over the sea, It summons and arouses my feeling for nature. Your sparkling white teeth Reminds me of the glittering stars On a full moon night. Just Like the moon peeps behind cloud, Your eyeballs stare beneath its lids. How much I long for that look The alluring one. To pull me out of my skin, To a journey beyond the creeks. Pope Fhysx © 2017

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, POPE FHYSX

AQUAKHAN More than two decades ago, You arrived on earth with a goal, Mummy and Daddy were smiling, But for reasons unknown, you were crying, Few hours ago, I remember it's your birthday, I pray you continue to have a great earthly stay. He is a teacher and a leader, A poet that convincingly won hearts of his reader, Saintly, he unleashes his words, That won endless rounds of applauds, Today, is yet a testimony of your wonderful living, Let haters continue with their beefing. POPE FHYSX is my Boss, A great writer that writes without a pause, He is a pride of today and a leader of tomorrow, He manufactures jokes to see an end to your sorrow, He clocks 'one' on this beautiful day, I pray you enjoy the fruits of life every day. You shall live longer than your father, You shall live to compensate the sacrifices of your mother, You shall live to uplift the name of your family, You shall live to transform the evils of your enemy. Remember, it is a world ful
