MY VALENTINE ( A TRIMERIC) Dedicated to Fapohunda Adefunke Adebusola

I'll catch you a moonbeam,
Dress you up with flowers and leaves
Sing you songs like a nightingale
This wonderful day of valentine


Dress you up with flowers and leaves,
I will, fly you up the rainbow's space,
Watch you fall into my arms while I...


Sing you songs like a nightingale,
To melt your cheeks down your spine...
A bowl of chips will ice the cake


This wonderful day of valentine
Our love is birthed on St's street
Basking in the euphoria of the day

DEAR TATTLER (PANTOUM SONNET)

Let me be don’t twist my lung
Lest you make me spit on you
Fill you up with watery tongue
Chase the demon out of you.


Please dont make me spit on you
Turn your shaft from that gossip
Chase the demon out of you
…Else I lash you with a whip!


Show the young to live for change
Turn your shaft from that gossip
Dont dare fail to change your ways
…Else I lash you with a whip!


Fill you up with watery tongue
Let me be don’t twist my lung!
