Words That Stay

A whisper of truth in a single line,
A world of thought in a moment of time.

No need for excess, no need for more,
Just a few words that open a door.

A tear, a smile, a lesson, a scar,
A poem so small, yet it reaches so far.

RHAPSODY OF POETRY

A poem is more than just rhythm and rhyme,

It carries a tale through the pages of time.

It whispers of love, it shouts of despair,

It weaves through the heart like a breath in the air.

It tells of a boy with a dream in his eyes,

Who reached for the stars and soared through the skies.

It speaks of a girl with a fire in her soul,

Who fought through the darkness and made herself whole.

A poem recalls when a soldier came home,

His heart full of scars, yet no more alone.

It sings of the mother who toiled every day,

Giving her all, though the world turned away.

It echoes the laughter, the sorrow, the pain,

The moments of sunshine, the weight of the rain.

It captures a heartbeat, a whisper, a tear,

The voices of ages we still hold so dear.

So when you feel lost, just turn to a page,

A poem’s a lantern, a voice, and a stage.

It tells what we feel but can’t always say —

A story, a heartbeat that won’t fade away.

Infinite Stillness

The world exhales, a breath held long,
Its chaos quiet, its pulse withdrawn.
No hum of time, no restless beat,
Just stillness vast, serene, complete.

The air, so thick, yet soft as dew,
A sacred space, a clearer view.
No shadows fall, no whispers stir,
Just silence deep, profound, and pure.

Infinite stillness, vast and wide,
A boundless sea where fears subside.
It cradles grief, it mends the soul,
A quiet force that makes us whole.

Each fleeting thought, like leaves, takes flight,
Dissolving in the endless night.
No need for answers, none for blame,
In stillness, all are one, the same.

It hums with truths too deep to speak,
A whispered calm for hearts that seek.
A mirror clear, reflecting skies,
The quiet place where wisdom lies.

Let go of haste, let worry fade,
In this still sea, we are remade.
For infinite stillness, vast and true,
Is life’s own breath, renewing you.

So linger here, and feel its grace,
This gentle, timeless, healing space.
For in its arms, the restless cease—
Infinite stillness births our peace.

UNITY IN DESPAIR

From Lagos' lanes to Kaduna's sands,

United we stand, hand in hand.

Under the sun and in the rain,

Another protest yet again.

From crowded streets to dusty roads, a surge of humanity explodes.

Hardship’s grip, relentless, tight,

Yet hope’s flame flickers, burning bright.

Voices echo, drums resound,

In every village, every town.

Protest swells, a river’s flow,

Demanding change, for all to know.

The pain of hunger, the ache of need,

Fuels the fire for a future freed.

Corruption's shadow, greed's dark veil,

We strive for justice to prevail.

Oh, leaders, heed the people's cry,

For change is written in the sky.

Empower the youth, invest in dreams,

Sow the seeds for brighter schemes.

To heal this land, so rich, so vast,

Transparency must hold steadfast.

Education, jobs, and health,

For every citizen’s true wealth.

Through unity, our strength we show,

In solidarity, our future grows.

Let dialogue and action meet,

To pave the path beneath our feet.

For Nigeria, with pride and grace,

Can rise above this harsh embrace.

Together, we shall build anew,

A nation strong, a vision true.

Beneath the weight of life's demand,
A cross we bear, both firm and grand.
In trials faced and paths unknown,
Carry your cross, let strength be shown.

"Destiny's Road: Exploring Life's Pathway"

Upon life's winding pathway we embark,

Through valleys low and peaks that kiss the dark.

With every step, we learn, we love, we strive,

A journey deep, where every soul must dive.

As the dangling hands of time transcends into years,

Each moment etched in joy or sorrow's tears.

But the twilight's glow or morning's golden hue,

We find our purpose and dreams both old and new.

Through every storms we stumble, battered and afraid,

But in the darkest nights, stars gently cascade.

They guide us forward, whispering hope's refrain,

That even in despair, we'll find our strength again.

The path of life, it weaves a complex dance,

With chances lost, and fleeting, sweet romance.

Yet in its twists and turns, we come to see,

The beauty lies in its diversity.

So, let us walk this road with hearts ablaze,

Embrace each step Faithfully everyday

For in the end, as shadows turn to light,

We'll cherish every moment, day and night.
