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 , 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 b...

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

Values (Adeolu Timothy)

What is singing without the song? What is the song without the singing? What is painting without the paint? What is the paint without the painting? What is writing without the ink? What is the ink without the writing? What is living without the life? What is the life without the living? What is loving without the love? What is the love without the loving? I'll pay a thousand cattle just to have your heart. Pope Fhysx © 2016
