UNDER THE SUN

-

    The sunflower is the Son of the Sun(Oorun) birthed by the Earth(Aiye)...Basically Sun climaxed and rained down on the Earth, and the Earth conceived...(laughs)You didn't have to know that.
What you should know is sunflower grew so well in royal blood, You would see him Royally apparelled with bright daisy hair and petaled skin standing tall amongst his mates and basking under the rays of his Father.
He had all he craved for except the touch of Eros(Ife). He always felt incomplete and desolate, Eros was moved by his plight and decided to send him a delight. Out of Eros' palm flew out the most beautiful of all creatures, Butterfly, she was called. I heard you could see your dream come through in her eyes and she flies with blazing wings warming every where she rests on. She flew down only to perch on the sunflower, he instantly fell in love and he held onto her promising that to her alone will his nectar be. The bees and all of the other maidens grumbled in envy but mother earth found her way to their hearts.
Their knots were tied on Eros' Festive day. I still remember the words of The Sunflower that day.. He said in their dialect: "Labalaba yi ni mofe ke". All and sundry danced to the rhythm of their love. (Eston would want to end with "and they lived happily ever after" but he is still scribing)

DELUSION OF GRANDEUR

-
  There is this bench I love sit on outside of my house I sit to ponder on the small things of life Like the chirping birds on the tree, the whistling sound of the wind, the water that romances our ankles at the beach I think of great things as well But not before I must have romanticized my persona and given strong appraisal to the main character that dwells inside of me That idea that makes you give a nasty smirk at yourself in the mirror The forever tempting mindset that there is nothing you cannot own or achieve That your heels will not be bruised if you jumped down from the Eiffel tower Does this touchy subject make you feel like a villain? Oh stop it Villains are the characters that ended up not proving themselves If the movie of life speaks loudly of you and gives you a fine grand ending, then you get your flowers Or does this perhaps make you feel like a fraudster? Easy Just be a very good one and pray never to ever get caught But how fiercely ...

Found In a Blackhole

-
  Call out to me in this dense abyss of darkness where light has become a taboo and where life has become a myth. I will give a loud cry but you will fail to hear it because the sound of my voice has been scattered rashly across the fabrics of time. Give me a sign to assure me that you will bring me back to the days where we danced in the sun and flew kites over the vast blue sky. For I dwell in the very core of something that holds my soul hostage And the gates of my eyes can no longer hold back these tears from the intensity of suffocation that gravity commands on my mortal body.  I have lost touch of space and time and every memory I have, seemed to have collapsed like the sands at the beach. My only remedy is to find the most sacred particle of sand in this avalanche of probability.  In my attempt to get back to you my darling, I buried myself deep in the blackness and vastness of zillions of events that could possibly connect me to your reality.  But reality is ...

SACRAMENTAL

-
  Closed eyes Hot coals underneath my feet I stand corrected And with a mind roaming wild in the dark I stand stripped  Stripped by my own opinions Opinions coined from an undying quest to be free  What price do I have to pay to hold a conversation with my higher self To bath in the river of tranquility What shouldn’t I be? I gaze on a sacred painting of a future where everyone understands their purpose Such a painting does not exist Every man is here to make another man’s story narratable So I cling to a symbol of peace, a symbol of love or unforgivable sacrifice To remind myself that I am a portal to many A door to a stranger’s paradise Or sometimes a rope in a tug of war A rope in a tug of war? As holy as the morning dew can be My heart yearns to be Yet at the end of the struggle between light and darkness I stay lying exhausted on the soiled grass Let the morning dew do to me what it does to the petals of the purple hibiscus Maybe then I shall consider being an instru...
