    They call him wolf A being so strong like Adolf Hard nut to crack Like the golf ball This universe he calls home The globe surrounding Knows him by the norm For he is the foam In the most pungent loam He is handsome And never lonesome For he travels in packs As he is the Alpha

    Life is a riddle

    It is true that life is indeed a journey

    One minute you are breathing 

    Another minute you are gasping for your last breath

    Life is truly a riddle

    A riddle not to be solved by the idle

     

    Some depart too soon

    As life is as concave as a mettalic spoon

    This life is all but a blur

    An illusion to the mind

    And a force to reckon with

     

    Let us live it to our level best

    Uphold the necessary norms forget the rest

    Hate, envy, lust let's get it out of our chest

    For as each day elapses we creep close to the grimm reaper

    Six feet under we will be layed,  as that is the bitter truth

    The Wilderness dream

    Amidst the dark trees, the mahogany sway to and fro
    The cold so chill, excruciating
    I wanna tuck my coat in
    To say no to this flu pre- develop

    Our hands warm above the fireplace
    Stories both past and present foretold
    To pass the time as our bodies cling by the fire

    Splinters of fire rise above the ashes
    Rumour has that you can see fractures of your future within
    In a twinkled eye moment our hands fold 
    And together we sing hymns

    We fall to each other's arms
    Our brains move to various farms
    All in the name of fantasy 
    To illude the cold trouble
    Which is nothing but a child's fable

    Strokes of dignity

    This short life we live to inspire
    Beauty, figure, brains we require
    Our hearts are burning with fire
    The fire to be loved and cherished before we expire
    All this effort to inspire will make us a liar

    We ought to be proud of our origins
    Because that is what defines our excistense
    In this generation there's a lot of pretense 
    We tend to create an illusion
    The illusion that we are our best selves
    The illusion that we live to impress

    Most girls think that the boy child is after their bodies
    😂so cheap they are
    They undress, shake their butts
    They'all think that it is a turn on
    Poor you 'kienyeji' i pity you

    My dear ladies have a sense of dignity
    Your bodies are a temple
    Cover them,  keep them clean
    For we,  the gentlemen, are after your heart and not your butt
    Having saying that
    You'll free ...

    Love the Conquerer

    ```Love the Conquerer``` 

    *In you i found a wife
    A wife to share my life
    Baby You bring out the best
    Making me forget the rest
    In your warm embrace i nest
    You warmed my heart which had been  cold like the crest
    Of the mighty Mt Everest

     

    Distance is just but a stretched mile
    Yes it may be long like the Nile
    But i feel your presence in a while
    I crown you a thief
    A thief without motive
    For you are the thief who stole my heart
    Keep it my love keep it safe

     

    You are a flower in the midst of flowers
    A flower with rare abilities and powers
    The flower so fresh and so fragrant
    You are making me a migrant
    A migrant seeking refuge
    I just wanna nest in your beautiful petals

    LET ME SWIM

    Let me swim 
    inside your sea.
    Drink the water of your lips, 
    Taste the salt around your heart.

    Let me drown between your waves
    Take away my tears and pain
    Let me dive through high and low 
    Touch your mind 
    Complete your love.

    Let me drift across your veins
    Like a sailboat with no sail
    Let me tear the veil
    And prick your heart with my love nail
    As we watch our love's tale

    Distance ain't an issue
    Its just soft as a tissue
    For each and everyday i miss you
    And because of you
    I've made my self love you

    Addiction

    Nature

    Nature has a way of balancing things

    Nature has a way of catching up

    It has a way of trapping someone

    It has vines with thorns 

     

    There's this word called addiction

    Its a rotten brain affliction

    A menace terrorizing the mind

    When one is addicted to something 

    Its hard to find an escape route

     

    Addiction to something is self afflicted torture

    Easy to get in but near impossible to get out

    Determination is the key though

    Distractions to the mind is what entails to beat this menace

     

    Rise up people

    Do not be a slave to your mind

    Find possible distractions to get you out

    Free yourself free the dirty mind

    Break the chains of foul thinking and counter it with useful thinking

    NEW YEAR

    It's a pleasant day

    The day being so warm and so gay

    The morning sun blazing its ray

    The ray so warm you may think its already May

    The Ghanaian Hens pointing their beaks as they lay

    Because we all came from the sea bed clay

     

    You can see folks smiling

    They New year giving them hope

    They're  in the latest fashion making them dope

    The New year's air so fresh

    The morning breeze refreshening our mind

    And repleneshing our thoughts

    DISAPPOINTMENTS

    I know the feeling well

    When all seems not to work

    You feel as if your feet are numb

    As though dipped in a bucket of coolade

     

    One tends to get angry

    Emotions pile up so fast

    A cocoon of hatred builds up

    All in the name of disappointments

     

    A deal gone south

    The hustle seems to go down the drain

    The disappointments again start to rain

    Its so sad to fathome or rather understand

     

    At the end everything will turn out okay

    The universe has a unique way of testing us

    Let's not give in to despair

    For all will work out in our favour

    THE RAIN

    The clouds are gathering

    I see them feathering

    Flock of birds zoom about

    They chirp melodiously 

     

    As i walk along the dusty path

    A drop of rain hits my cracky skin

    Straightening up my kinky hair

    As if to set up a flare

     

    Farmers are singing 

    Singing songs of planting

    Yeah folks the seoson is nigh

    Brought about by the drizzles

     

    My mind is now set a straight

    My head stead fast with a firm gait

    Ready to welcome and celebrate the change of weather

    Weather to cover the nether land

    A BORING DAY

    We had an appointment
    But later turned a disappointment
    The day was supposed to be a monument
    A day to nourish the environment
    And enrich the corrupt government

     

    Anger grips my being
    As remorse fills my heart
    Building a shade of loneliness
    And a cocoon of drunk emotions

     

    I sat down by the shade
    To witness the sunshine fade
    While thinking of the fucked up day
    And how it sucked in a way
    Even though we still bask in May

    I AM A WOLF

    I am not a rose but a thorn

    I hurt everyone touching me

    They say i was cursed before i was born

    To be honest shit is killing me

     

    I have furs like a wild dog

    I grip a prey and vanish in a fog

    Some say my blows are like a wolf

    With a bad past like a cursed oaf

     

    Whatever they fucking call me

    From the bones i have been fighting

    Burning my past into odorous stream

    Yeah i'm a wolf and i will stop their scoffing

    THE CHILLY MORNING

    *The morning's so chilly

    Can't even get a call to Billy

    For my hands are frozen

    My eyes blurred seeing everything in a dozen

     

    I hear raindrops on my roof

    But sleep still grips my soul

    Evident in my sluggish eyes

    Which definately tell no lies

     

    My body lays horizontally

    Tired both physically and mentally

    Can't even manage to go to the rally

    Nor do a simple mathematical tally

     

    I await the sunshine

    To shine its ray so fine

    So that one day i dine

    With the most expensive wine

     

    Wolf ...
