Earth's girl and Sky's Angel - (Inspired by Susan Amissah)

Dear Whitney,

I'm shattered, scattered on the floor with tears, with heart, with hand and with knee
Eternity was what you said it'll take to break us
Where do I draw strength to go on with the belief now that I'm weak in brake-horse?
... Now Earth offers you all it's precious hidden jewels as food to eat
Warm Earth offers your coldness some covering - does it know you won't sing to it?

Earth thought it was the only world who listens to you singing
'had no clue sky angels crave you too and envy the world you sing in
Earth is like a mother-hen with nightingale chics and these sky angels are hawks.
Who protects Earth - has it got a rooster, where is its cock?

They couldn't wait for your time so they had to whisk you into that abysmal slumber
Their talons' marks are allover a daily routine you've done times without number -
That now you're steel cold, not a CPR if powered by the sun will bring you back to life?
If the whole of Earth's iron ore were fashioned into the sharpest sword/knife,
It won't scratch the ropes of lure that's pulled you beyond the sky's lens?

The gathering of Earth's best choirs will never out-sing your songs' silence
And as you join others to sing in the skies, we'll forever dance to your echoes
Sadly, to the world's unborn children and future generations there goes..

I take off my art, earth, heart, hut, hurt, and hat (lest I get lost in..)
And lowly give a bow, a salute, a tribute to our Earth's regal Whitney Houston!!

Adieus..xx

Dedicated to Whitney Houston - RIP!

Start what?

If I start it lovers will come.

They'll come in their hundreds;

Each with most loved of their lovers, they'll come.

The venus sounds of mute words laid in bold brilliant yet subtle colors will speak to them;

Each one thinking of the next one they'll come with, they'll come.

'We'll come' said one, 'Paul please start it, others will surely come.'

'We'll come in our thousands;

Each with hopes of ...leaving with an extra lover, we'll come.

Let it be summer - One of those nights when the moon is consumed in black jealous clouds and

Bonfire flames burn higher as we feed fire all our skimpy dresses

Each of us gleeming at the reflection of bare nature - bright silhouette, we'll come'.

'Tobi, start it people will come; people must certainly come!'

Dude..

Still broke at 38

Stress aggravates

Suicide.. contemplate – wetin I go do?

See, I like to brag

Like I got millions in my bag

But really I'm a rag – wetin I go do?

Her face is like crash

But her butt is the splash

Plus I need her cash – wetin I go do?

She’s also 38

She's got real estates

But she lacks a mate – wetin I go do?

She works in a bank

Then she fills my tanks

(I think she likes the spanks) – wetin I go do?

She don’t dress to kill

But she dey foot the bills

In bed she got skills – wetin I go do?

 

She’s an ‘after three’

Each from different daddy

They  all call me daddy – wetin I go do?

She works 9 – 5  

Keeping brother alive

I sit she drives – wetin I go do?

But her cousin is the ..ish

Pretending.. How I wish..

I want more than her dish – wetin I go do?

Time and millions in my hand

Her cousin's my demand

Teasing I can't stand  – wetin I go do?

tales of a dying love.

When love grows stale

Expressions seem like tolerable mail

The mind and heart eclipse

And day for a loved one is gone.



When love turns pale

Feelings remain numb and very frail

Communication becomes a baneful necessity

And anger’s litmus turns blue quite easily to small deeds.



When love grants bail

Kisses no more lighten any trail

Touch becomes colourless as the wind

Then an old enemy, Distance, becomes a good redeemer.



When love resumes to sail

It takes away its blinding veil

Leaving errs and faults instead of compliments

Vague unique memories and no special moments anymore



And when finally love becomes a tale

It is told to another lovelier fe/male

As time makes space for new events

And plenty of time too as currency to spend



Understand, love is energy

And our hearts are temporary!

Love was you

You were what I always dreamt of!

Somehow you came to me

And like a child

I came pure, innocent and young.

Like a man,

You came with your sweet big heart.

Still think about those nights:

You and shy me;

Me and silly you.

You made me laugh

I made you cry!

Gave me love

More than I saw

In my sleep.

Love became all we had -

All we wanted

We did not know where to put it,

Ran out of space

And lost the difference

Between good and bad.

What was so strong

Became paper thin

And blew away with the wind.

 Still, after all these years,

Through distance and time;

Flings and lovers,

This bed

Still feels lonely without you.

 Find it so hard to believe myself,

How you got me in every single inch.

No one has come that far

And I am so proud of you

You and your sweet mesmerize!

Muah!

Get out!

I get out.

I’ll get out of all your boxes

I’ll get out; you can’t hold me in these chains

I’ll get out; father free me from this bondage

Knowing my condition is the reason I must change.

Your stinking resolution

Is no type of solution

Preventing me from freedom

Maintaining your pollution

I won’t support your lie no more

I won’t even try no more

If I have to die oh lord

That’s how choose to live

I won’t be compromised no more

I can’t be victimized no more

I just don’t sympathize no more

‘Cos now I understand

You just wonna use me

You say ‘love’ and abuse me

You never thought you’d lose me

But how quickly we forget

That nothing is for certain

You thought I’d stay here hurting

Your guilt trip’s just not working

Repressing me to death

‘Cos now I’m choosing life

I take the sacrifice

If everything must go, then go

That’s how I choose to live

No more compromises

I see past your disguises

Blinding through mind control

Stealing my eternal soul

Appealing through material

To keep me as your slave

But I get out!

I’ll get out of all your boxes

I get out; oh you can’t hold me in these chains

I’ll get out; oh I want out of social bondage

Knowing my condition is the reason why I must change

See, what you see is what you get

Oh, and you ain’t seen nothing yet

I don’t care if you’re upset

I could care less if you’re upset

It don’t change the truth

And your hurt feeling is no excuse

To keep me in this box – psychological locks

Repressing true expression

Cementing this repression

Promoting mass deception

So that no one can be healed

I don’t respect your system

I won’t protect your system

When you talk I don’t listen

Oh let my father’s will be done

Oh just get out!

Oh, just get out of all this bondage

Just get out; oh you can’t hold me in these chains

Just get out; all these traditions killing freedom

Knowing my condition is the reason why I must change

I just accepted what you said

Keeping me among the dead

The only way to know

Is to walk then learn and grow

But faith is not your speed

Oh, you’d had everyone believe

That you’re the sole authority

Just follow the majority

Afraid to face reality

The system is a joke

Oh, you’d be smart to save your soul

And escape this mind control

You spend your life in sacrifice

To a system for the dead

Oh, are you sure there’s a passion for this living?

Are you sure it’s God you’re serving?

Obligated to a system

Getting less than you’re deserving

Who made up these schools I say?

Who made up these rules I say?

Animal conditioning

Oh, just to keep us as a slave

Oh just get out

Of this social purgatory

Just get out; all these traditions are a lie

Just get out; superstition killing freedom

Knowing my condition is the reason I must die

Just get out

Just get out

Just get out

Just get out
