T’was late last night when I went to sleep
I’d been so worked up so I slept too deep
I was oblivious of my phone’s “beep-beep”
And I did not know someone’d come to peep
He opened my door and in did creep

He had no idea someone else’d been there
Sitting cool and calm at my bed’s far rear
Watching o’er me like He really did care
Guards around my bed and He on a chair
The later guest, perplexed, became full offear

The later guest was He; who the earth does rule
And he’d used me once as a living tool
I had played along; yes, I’d been a fool
But traced back my steps to the cleansing pool
And the former guest had welcomed me;calm and cool

The later guest is known for untold evil
So craftily, he makes danger beautiful
Oh, how he entices little by little
And often, he traps naïve people
He is none other than the fiend, Devil

He thought he’d been smart but this left him shocked
His plans had been foiled and he was provoked
He would not relent though his way wasblocked
So he told the lies which in him were stocked
And when that failed him, then I he mocked

“Master, Lord” said he, “What doeth thou
This servant of yours is alone but foul
He has done much wrong and kept not his vow
If you’d love to know, I could tell you how
If you doubt my words, check his file right now”

So my file brought they, for my deeds to check
I had done much wrong; my good but a speck
Very many times, I had been a jerk
My sins were so great on a lofty deck
My life- in one piece- was a total wreck

While I deeply slept, my soul was at stake
So much wrong I’d done, mistakes I did make
Few sincerity, so much I did fake
Sometimes I’d been true, severally I’d shake
Most of the time, though, I’d totally break

My Lord said to him, “His sins are forgiven”
He went through my wrongs, and had them unwritten
He took no count of how I’d been living
He let it all go as if it were nothing
Extravagant grace, to me He had given

“Look at this, Oh Lord,” my accuser said
Some journal of my errs from A to Zed
He showed several flops I had long past made
All the dirty words I had often said
Little did he know- my debts had been paid!

My Lord held the book and apart did tear
Cos back on that cross, my sins He did bear
He christened me Free; salvation my gear
And said  I could go and be of good cheer
For no harm or darts would ever me near

My saviour looked up at my accuser
“His sins are forgiven, now and forever
By my love and grace, I have made him better
Now flee thee from here and near him never!
I have paid his debts,” said my redeemer.

My foe had lost, and he looked so cheap
He turned to leave and of course, did slip
He bounded away with a odd leap
While God, my soul did watch and keep
Safe and saved, I snored in my deep sweet sleep.

On the day that I saw the world.

For the first time, frightening, I so feeble,
So wide and big and filled with people.

I, weeping for the loss of the cocoon that shielded,
They, rejoicing for the gain of a one so awaited.

The questions in mind as they hoisted me high,
A doctor, lawyer, writer or why!
Even a president, their dreams did fly.

In the twenty odd years that have come and gone,
And the sorrows and joys I have seen and borne,

In this, I remain thankful, most of all to You,
Lord most high, without you I’d be in a awe.

Even when I am in the wrong,
Your grace is there to keep me strong.

And my family, support of my existence.
Thank you so much for your love and persistence.

I frustrate you a lot. Yes I do.
But then, you’re all my favourite boos.

To my friends both near and far,
Know that you are always dear to my heart.

And though I may not call and text adlib,
I should hope we will meet in a better place anon.

With this I say happy birthday to me.
With hopes and prayers many more to see.

I miss waking up each morning to the message you sent while I slept....
"Stopping by to drop a kiss in your dreams"

I miss hearing your voice when it’s all groggy nd tiny from not enough sleep....
"Hey babe! Good morning… Have an awesome day"

I miss bugging you all day, filling you in on the minutest detail
My course mate just peed her pants! LOL! I crave carbs! Diets suck! Ugh"!

I miss those unplanned visits...
Surprise! Guess who’s in town? Coming to ur house in a bit

I miss the random messages...
You’re beautiful, inside and out! Lucky me

I miss the chastising
"You snapped at your mum?! Why?! Okay, I understand but you have to apologize to her"

I miss making the future plans
"Small wedding, HUGE honey mooning!" Lol

I miss helping you pick out an outfit
You should totally rock the brown shoes with that Red dress(I loved the red dress)

I miss the endless teasing and banter
Your head’s big, by the way.. We both know yours is bigger!

I miss the cuddling even when we fight
Oya shift! I want to cuddle

I miss the pampering
You look tired, lie down I’ll massage. You need to eat babe, please. A kiss for every spoon, deal?
Oh, I miss the deal

I get that school is crappy but if you go today and study enough to impress me, you get a gift.
And of course the bribery…

I miss the impromptu fun games
Let’s make lunch together, over the phone of course. You give the instructions and I’ll cook

I miss… Gosh, I miss everything! I miss the things I can’t have because, well, because I’m alone …And while being single has it’s perks, I miss the things I could have…

I miss my first love.

I could remember the whole incident without any effort

On that fateful day I went to the school's cafeteria to find my stomach its comfort,
With the intention that my break away from the protest will be brief and short,
Only for my eyes to be caught up with an angelic beauty of some sort.

Sitting alone on a table for two was this girl, the exact girl of my dream Innocently having a peaceful lunch: potato chips and a cup of ice cream.
She seemed far away as if she was at the other end of the stream.
"Will you be my girlfriend" my heart wanted to scream.

I walked towards her but before I was close enough, The peaceful protest outside started to turn rough.
The police shot tear gas in the air, everywhere was tensed and tough.
People ran helter skelter raising dust, I guess that made her cough.

Then the real shooting began and everyone became scared.
I offered her my hand as a gesture that I cared.
She looked into my eyes and I guess she saw that even death at that moment I dared.
Though in the corner of my heart I prayed that we could be spared.

As we ran for cover I asked for her name,
Only to look up and saw she wasn't the same.
Till today no one know from where the bullet came
But it went straight to her heart and she gave up within the shortest time frame.

There were reports that at that point I actually went mad
Justifying the few days I spent in the psychiatric ward..... yes it was that bad....
Though today makes it 5 years ago; remembering the whole incident still makes me sad.
Because I helplessly watched the girl of my dream die as the girlfriend I never had.

E don tey wey dis Tortoise dey over-do; None of the other animals dey gbadun his cruise/

He no get RESPECT, him always dey rude.. if you and Tortoise do RUNZ he must surely cheat you/

Then left HIM there and flew back to the Zanga

Tortoise come send his wife BBM message___
“I wan Jump from Heaven; Bring Mattress”
Trust Network Nauuu…. She no get the message……………………………………../

So the Tortoise Fell to the ground and Broke his shell

THAT’S MY STORY AND I’M STICKING TO IT…

I know how you feel but I can’t force myself to Love you.
Days gone by, trying to be real. Let’s not even argue.

You See, I’ve tried & tried but I cannot deny the feeling is not the same for you.
See, I can’t live a lie, you go find another guy who will go insane for you.

Say that you love me, I don't feel the same.
Not what we once were, You distinguished our flame.

Always tell me you want me,Rub your feelings in my face.
I'm sorry, my darling, My heart is in a different place.

I can't turn on my emotions,Just to fall in love with you.
You're not the one I want,Harsh, but it's true.

Fight with me constantly,Tell me how I should feel.
I can't be programmed, honey, Nor lie that it's real.

Good friends are what we are, It's what we shall remain.
I know of your longing, Your great frustrating pain.

I'm in the same predicament,And it's ripping me apart.
But what you're trying to do, Is blackening my heart.

I can't help how I feel, In a fate that wasn't planned. Lets lay off a few, baby,
start afresh with "just being friends"

And see where the winds blow us to...but I'm damn sure it'll never End!
