Road to my Home

-

Bump Bump Bump 
In sound it is heard 
In your butt it is felt 
Body bouncing up and down 
Bosoms flying out of their hold

Grrrh Grrrh Grrrh Grrrh
The vibrations can be felt 
Engine working like till death 
So much weight it lifts 
Countless dirt it picks 

Thrrrh Thrrrh Thrrrh
Tires sliding on the floor 
The Floor slippery under the bike 
For something you reach out to grab 
The thin air your only help 

"Abeg sit down tight"
A voice is heard 
"Don't move around 
Else we both will fall "

The road a mess 
The bike could care less 
Splash comes the mess
Your clothes drenched with dirt 

Tug of war
Battle of the road 
Cyclists sweating hard 
Fighting to get me home
Inspired by a real life situation but typically describes the journey of life and its turbulence.

Cold Heart

Once an agent of life Now you're a piece of art Once warm and in motion Now cold as ice is your portion Cold as ice She closed her eyes Solid like a block Immovable like a rock Time by the clock Shots by the glock Frozen like ice block Now hardened as a rock Gone is the soft spot No longer warm or hot No more beat to beat  Just a big solid clot Like an ice cream from coldstone  You're just damn stone cold  Giving frost bites  I can no longer touch  An emotionless bot No feeling like a robot Heart frozen into eyes Cold and fearless are her eyes Gone    I have lost you Gone,  I need to forget you  Alone  I wish I didn't hurt you  To atone  Every penny I'll pay for you

Angel of My Dreams (A short story) Episode 1

-
I saw this girl on a sunny afternoon. She was like an angel from above. Her beauty radiated like the sunlight. Her attractiveness left other girls in a shadow. “Oh my God!!! This must be an Angel”. “Did she leave her wings in heaven”? “Are the wings invincible on Earth or are they invincible only to humans?” These thoughts raced over and over again in my mind. Would she fly me around the world? I thought to myself. Damn!!! She certainly wouldn’t notice a ‘nobody’ like me. I thought again, yet my imaginations didn’t seem to care. Imaginations program v12.2.4 loading *blip* *blip* 10%... 50%... 65%.... 100%... program initiated …program running …. Program active. Despite the noise of car horns and sirens of the urban area around, all I could hear was the wind. I was in awe. Lost in stare. My Imaginations were going wild and crazy. The pressure of the wind around me increasing, the ground started to shift from below me and it started to appear farther than usual. My feet are...

Think Quick

There's the clock, "tick tick"  Telling you "do quick"  You have to act in a flick  In order to get to the peak  The peak is like a stick  Longer than any wick  But with the proper nick  Can be shorter than a beak As human you have to think  Your thoughts have to come in a blink  New ideas flowing with the sound *clink * All ideas coming in a link  Think think think  Let your ideas flow a sync  Such that it can be put down in ink  Give ideas from which others can drink  Rather than be flushed down the sink  Quick thought can never be bought  It can neither be taught  Rather, it can be sought And hence gotten for naught  Your thinking should be quick and good  Your thinking should edify more than food  Your thinking shouldn't depend on your mood  Your thinking shouldn't be influenced by your hood  Lord make me think ...
