Could It Be?


Heart is going cold

There’s no beauty to behold

What I’ve done no one will scold

I don’t know, oh, same as the tales unfold

The truth should be told

I’m a lonely wreck, I know, with no right words

But I pray to find true love and to hold

Can’t bear my heart being pierced with swords

Could it be about this place?

Could it be about my face?

Could it be about the way I move away from people day by day?

I can’t go on this way

Heaven, please come my way

IF YOU CAN RELATE THIS TO YOURSELF, DON’T YOU THINK IT‘S TIME FOR YOU TO SNAP OUT OF IT?


Our Love: Your Proprietary Right, My Easement


Looking at you from head to toe, your lovely shape shows that it’s well crafted 

You’re so lovely that nothing less is to be expected

You’re the one worth introducing to my family and friends, including papa and mama

With you, I’ve no single reason to be worried about any ‘relationship drama’

I’m willing to walk down the aisle with you

Without exaggerating, your remarkable attitude, grace, class and beauty are indeed inside and out

You know I’m telling the truth and there’s no reason to doubt

We complement each other so well that I do enjoy being with you

I see us becoming the best of loving couples and parents

Being in love and living the rest of my life with you is like being given easements

The proprietary right that I’ve given you as the one I’m truly in love with is exclusive

Apart from God, my wonderful family and friends, you, too, have proven to me that true love is not elusive

DO YOU NOW UNDERSTAND HOW THAT FEELS?

The Journey of Life


On the journey of life, here’s an interesting notion

It’s like moving at your own pace above the ocean

In a moment, you’re up north

Before you know it, the next, you’re not

Maybe, you’re down south

And with joy, you’re making them shout

You can even find yourself rocking the west

Perhaps, like the famous stars and the treasure chest

Finally, in the east, you’ll see that it’s a different deal

And if you’re wondering what a right turn can be

The voice tells you, “be still, listen and truly see for sure

I’ll take you, on the right course, to the shore”

ARE YOU WILLING TO LISTEN, SEE AND TAKE THE RIGHT COURSE IN THE JOURNEY OF LIFE?

Happy Valentine's Day


Discover and be appreciative of every lovely person and thing you have

If you don’t, situations may reduce their number by half when they halve

Make this year another opportunity to enjoy true love afresh

Treat your whole life and love life as projects to truly refresh

There’s no point being lonely

You should believe that, after taking the time to properly think through alone

There’s always that special person who is waiting for both of you to cherish each other wholly

Responding very well to the proposal of true love, in this context, is not overblown

Don’t be distracted, anymore, by the frivolity in the form of people, places and things that won’t add positively to your life as a serious matter

Regardless of whatever you may have been told in times past, I want you to know that you do matter

Go ahead with your true love and wine and dine

Have the lovely day dedicated to the celebration of true love and Saint Valentine

ARE YOU CELEBRATING THE VALENTINE’S DAY APPROPRIATELY?


Valentine's Day: The Poetic History


Under Emperor Claudius II, during the 3rd century AD, an era when the order of the day was war

Someone, against all odds, did the thing we all now adore

At such a time, when politics was paramount to the government’s constitution

He followed his conscience and promoted true love among couples in line with the marital institution

In the same period, the government saw the organization of christian marriages as a taboo

Yet, he kept conducting holy matrimonies against the threat of meeting an ironic waterloo

Eventually, the government had him apprehended and executed

But at the end of the 5th century, Pope Gelasius declared 14th February as the Saint Valentine’s Day and this turned him to a martyr whose name will never be neglected

Valentine was his name and the promotion of true love, until his last breath, remained his aim

Have the happy and lovely Saint Valentine’s Day!

DO YOU HONOUR VALENTINE’S MEMORY WITH LUST, FRIVOLITY OR TRUE LOVE?

A Story, My Fantasy


Here’s a story, my fantasy

Though exclusive, come with me

Enjoy it, learn from it

I found myself in a lovely place

Where a party is taking place

There, I saw a lady

A damsel, I’ve to say

“Can I’ve a moment, my dear lady?”

“I’m Darey Oyeledun, what’s your name?”

Not a word but she remained

A green light I’ve to say

For a moment, I thought she’ll say

“Hi, my name is this”

But all she said was just “hey!”

As she signaled a waiter’s drink

“With the juice you’re drinking, I’ll say

You’re keeping a lovely shape”

She smiled with nothing said

So, I asked her for a dance

She obliged with a nod

Then, I said “in my lovely world, you’ll be the queen, I’ll be the king”

Right on the dance floor

An event from up above

Occurred when she said the words

“Only you had the nerve to talk to me today

Only you made me feel ‘irie’

Only you, I’ll love to see another day

Only you swept my feet away”

ISN’T THAT AN INTERESTING FANTASY?

Love Sarcasm


Recently, while listening to an interesting song in which the singer was asking for the whereabouts of the proverbial ‘love bug’

Subconsciously, I found myself saying “it must have gone AWOL after being either deactivated or with an insecticide, knocked out like any other bug”

Now, let’s take a look at some of the thoughts couples can have in a ‘relationship drama’

Some of them will make you for no reason, say, “oh mama”

Here’s one that made me to ponder and laugh

If you know the full story, it may have made you to also ponder and laugh

In ‘A Million Ways to Die in the West’, a lady told her boyfriend that she was breaking up with him because she needs to work on herself, but almost immediately, she was seen with someone else

As time went by, however, the same lady later attempted to return, but was told by her ex that he’s also trying to work on himself while being with someone else

Again, imagine trying to appeal to the person you’re in love with in order to resolve a misunderstanding and he or she says to you, “cry me a river”

Take it in good faith

It’s a known fact that if there are some things which tend to repeat themselves, they are patterns, history and fate

So, after you’ve moved on with your life and that same person wants to come back, you’ll be like, “cry me an ocean and not just a river”

For all you ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls who tend to seek the ‘help’ of ‘Cupid’s arrow’

You’ll be shocked to your marrow

Even Cupid goofed, according to his mythical story, in love

So, why should you idolise him?

CAN YOU SEE THROUGH THE SARCASM?

Never Beg Someone To Be In Your Life


                  It's called self-respect

Jesus Wept



A long time ago, in the town of Bethany

A true story occurred and changed the lives of many

Lazarus, a friend of Jesus’ and the brother of Mary and Martha

Was sick and facing death as a serious matter

They sent an urgent message to Jesus but He tarried 

When Jesus eventually showed up, for four days, Lazarus had been buried

Upon seeing Him, Martha said “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died”

To that Jesus responded, “Your brother will rise again”

Afterwards, even her sister who once anointed the Lord with the fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair

Came crying because of the time Jesus arrived there

Jesus knew Lazarus’ death can’t be denied

But He chose to bring him back to life and ease everyone’s pain

Before the miracle, however, people cried and alone, in an erroneous manner, wished to be left

Feeling sorry for their unbelief, Jesus wept

Coming to the tomb, Jesus asked them to take away the stone

It was time for Lazarus to leave the world of the dead alone

Here, Jesus asked Martha a timeless question

“Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?”

While everyone was still wondering, Jesus lifted His eyes and said

“Father, I thank You that You have heard Me

And I know that You always hear Me

But because of the people who are standing by

I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me”

Then Jesus shouted with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

And to the glory of God, indeed, Lazarus came out

So, Jesus said to them, “free him of the burial wrappings and let him go”

ARE YOU READY TO WATCH YOUR HOPELESSNESS BECOME HAPPINESS?

I Choose To See And Know


Across the globe, some people see failure in excess

I choose to see only the true success

Some people look at the world and see only hardship and poverty

I know that the combination of wisdom, sincerity, intelligence, brilliance and hard work leads to the true prosperity

The only thing some people see in this world is darkness

I choose to see and know the light, and to me, that makes sense

What some people always see in this world is every form of sorrow and trouble

Well, I choose to see the inexpressible joy which is uncountable

No matter what happens, some people will always see and preach hatred and not true love

With all due respect, I choose to believe in the existence and practice of the true love

Some people think it’s okay to keep living in stress and distress

I choose to live up to my divine essence 

Some people see the cup as either half empty or half full

I choose to see the reality of every lovely potential as being very full

This is not about being cocky 

I’m only grateful and able to always see myself as being truly blessed and not just lucky

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE WORLD, DO YOU SEE ONLY PROBLEMS OR FIGURE OUT THEIR LONG-LASTING SOLUTIONS?
