i more poem then I REST MY CASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY STAR
When God created heaven
and he placed those stars above
I knew right then the star I'd choose
would fill my life with love.

The greatest gift bestowed to me
is the best recieved by far
Cuz that's the day I met you Babe,
and realized that you're my star.

I can't forecast what life will hold
but there is one thing I know
That if we keep it watered well
our plant of love will grow.

The greatest gift bestowed to me
is the best recieved by far
Cuz that's the day I met you Babe,
and realized that you're my star.

You will always be the brightest star
in the heavens of my heart
and I won't despair when dark clouds near
for my star shines through the dark.

you are the greatest and happiest thing
that have ever happened to me.MY STAR. frm ''DENNYLUV''

Odeku:

MR dannyluv she go still be your shinning star if she sleep or flirt with your best friend?

What a sad person.

New yam Festival

I was young, when days were old
When gods of harvest bless'd ten-fold
And leafed men in masks esteemed sexy
That danced to please applauding bevy
And the ground shook beneath legendary stunt-men,
The rhythm, zealous lads as I, left us chanting:

"Onye akpala nwa-agu aka n'odu
    M'odi ndu m'onwuru anwu"^a

More masquerades, excitement at best
When Mkpokiti-- the legends of the dance-- graced the fest
Their charmed ladies dotted white in beauty chalk
Left us lads aroused and afraid to walk _{for swollen groins}
And beneath my baked bare torso
My heart pumped palm oil, for the yam was today not tomorrow:

"Onye akpala nwa-agu aka n'odu
    M'odi ndu m'onwuru anwu!"



_{a: The chant simply is ibo. It means: May none touch a young tiger's tail, dead or alive}

THE CRYING FUGITIVE


In a running morning
without any thought of going
with a little sense of justification
In the lonely land of imagination
They cried!The smiling teeth of the wicked
The ugly days of the annoying weekend
Ah!He was taken to the beyond
considering the beautiful bond
bleeding heart of mankind
judging the ways of men
crying for vengeance for justice
Yet justice is on exile
Oh!what a fugitive.

my fairest child

my fairest child i have no song to give you
no lark to pipe to skies so dull and grey
but as we part a lesson i shall give you for eachday
be good sweet maid and let who would be clever
do noble things do not dream them all day long
and so make death,life and that vast forever
one grand sweet song

The bond of two peoples love cannot be broken,
Bend it, twist it, do what you will with it;
If it is true love then the sun will rise another day.

DOWNPOUR OF NATURE

I can see the cloudy sky
Trying to placate you
You have decided to wreath men of their shelters

I can see the cloud gloomy and heavy
Like a pregnant woman ready to disperse at any moment
You have decided to wreck havoc on wicked souls

Then you begin your descent!
Rich drops of water from heaven that touches the earth
Whistling and sizzling

People running helter skelter
Looking for shelter
To hide their sinful body
Pandemonium has broken loose
You bring with you
Fierce and strong wind that tends to tell man of his actions

Then all is quiet!
The sky is cleared of its anger
The plants look fresh and ready to bloom

Everywhere looks bright and fulfilling
Like the beginning of the new day
The earth looks damp and holy like a newborn baby

Cool breeze of nature assures man of your tender gestures
The rainbow appears bringing forth the living covenant
You are the messenger of God conveying His messages

What shall man do?
What shall man say?
What shall man think?
If you decide not to acknowledge
That man cannot do without you
Man is doomed forever!

MY NEIGHBOUR

I SAW THEM COBBLER HIM
THE MEN OF KHAKI UNIFORM
THE ACCOMPLICE IN THE CRIME
I HEARD HIM SCREAM AS THEY CHOKED
OUT LIFE FROM HIM.
I WALKED PASS HIM INTO THE HOUSE OF
PRAYER MY HEART AS LIGHT AS A SAINT
AS I DECLARED I LOVE THE LORD AND
AM MY NEIGHBOURS KEEPER



NOTE: THE WORLD HAS SUFFERED MORE BECAUSE OF THE OFFENSIVE SILENCES OF SOME GOOD PEOPLE

Kachii,
nice one welcome to the club.


kkutecolo,
your "downpour of nature" is my favorite today 

Freestyl:

The bond of two peoples love cannot be broken,
Bend it, twist it, do what you will with it;
If it is true love then the sun will rise another day.

very true.


Mukina,
"my fairest child"
nice one. How you dey?


Ezenwenyi,
your "the crying fugitive" is another favorite of mine.

a stone's throw from heaven

there was no reason to awake
the morning was dark and cold
the sun was reluctant to rise
my heart was afraid to beat, afraid to hear a call
the call that got me waiting and might never come
i did not breathe, i did not cry, i was wise
still i receive no embrace, not even from sheol

my God, my God. we love each other, my God and i.
He is everywhere but not here when i need the embrace of a man
He cannot kiss me, He cannot love me the way a man could
my God, He created every good thing and he created an ache within me, an ache only this man can fill

i miss him, this man, so much; i wish i never knew him.
it has been five years and some have waited longer
i longed to be with him
but this day the walls of the bedroom echoed, "you are a stone's throw from heaven".
though the words did not lie, it understated the nearness of heaven.
heaven had come in my life time, here and now.
heaven's breath i felt whisper over my shoulder.
heaven called my name playfully "Sisi mi"
heaven pulled me closer to himself as we lay carelessly in bed.
heaven had come for me.

what is heaven and who is heaven?
this cold, dark morning, i dreamed a good dream
this dream did not run from me even when i awakened.
heaven remained.
when he laid his hand on my left breast, my heart could feel his touch.
heaven in my lifetime
he held me so close he seeped into my soul
the cherubs applauded our union
heaven in my lifetime
i had cursed myself, thinking he would never be back.
he is back
heaven in my lifetime

"TRIBUTE TO A LOST WORLD"


and so it was in a time long gone
when men and women of brown skin, toiled
stretching their taut backs to enrich the dark soil
with harvest of crops and an abundance of oil

when young children sat at the feet of the old
imbibing words of wisdom, as their stories unfold
carefully raised up in a proud and hardworking mould
always with smiles on their lips and a heart never cold

alas darkness came in the guise of the light
blackmen forced to believe they're inferior to white
who raped our land and enslaved our might
cos cunning and guile, we knew not how to fight

generations have passed, but the struggle lives on
in this mordern world, we are the last seed of zion
we must seize our destiny, and our pride restore!
make an everlasting tribute to our dead, lost world

@ Gomer,

yeah you can write anything. And i guess saintsam also answered your question too.


@ saintsam,
your welcome, i like it when people try to lift up our spirits.
Also don't mind Odeku, we've chased him away until he behaves


@ magneto,
your "tribute to a lost world" is great. I really like it.


@ everyone else,

I am positive

I am positive,
Positive to life,
Positive to love,
Positive to work.

A reason to live,to d dying,
Care &love to orphans,
&guidiance to d confused.

Yet I am positive.
