MAKE MOTHER CRY NO MORE


Come with me let's go to the south and speak
Let's talk to them about the fallen tears on mothers cheek
The oracle has spoken to me in a language unknown
Language i would declaim to the ears of men alone
That no woman should be made to cry

Come let us move to the east and settle the mire
Let's quench this madness that has spread like wild fire
Mother's tears need not to be fetched
Like an open stream with her bounds stretched
Cos her tears are carved from moon stones

Has the royal drum been sounded in the west
Has the Oni sent out his royal guard to make arrest
Of frail men
Who refuse to leave mothers tears unfallen
Cos her tears brings wrath from the gods

Where men drink her tears joyfully
Where those herdsmen broke mothers tears freely
Lush canopies fall to carpet and the flora wintry home
Mothers tears withers woodlands on fertile loam
Cos Nature never betrays her own

 Brethren; we could see she quakes in her fears
Mother is restless with each drop of her tears
Her tears adorns the naked moon
We are no saint; we've faded the moon
cos we poured mothers tears like fools

I may not be good enough for mother
I may have been so foolish like my every other brother
I may have been the black sheep in white dressing
I may have been the son without her blessing
But i'm the only one with a pregnant pen

So when she comes,
Ring my bell of words to her eardrums
Don't get her deaf with this message
Tell her not to worry about me or my luggage
I have embark on this journey
To tell frail men never to search for her tears; it's not honey
Cos her tears is as precious as diamond

AJIKE



You are not ENIBIOKANMI but ENIOKANMI
Ajike I breath you in and out
As you've become my air
Many are the maidens around
But It's you who have become my heartbeat
The FUJI music my soul dance to
There are so many birds in the sky
But you are the OKIN; the most beautiful of them all
I was at oja IDARA when I first saw you
When your beauty caught my eyes
Your smile that day AJIKE
Robbed me of my sanity armour
I fell so deep in love with you
That I found you wandering the garden of my heart
When I saw you at ODO-ADO the other day
And saw how she wet your pretty face
I thought you were YEYE herself
In the rain yesterday I saw the rain drops
As they ran from your SHUKU
Down from your bosom to your gorgeous feet
And I saw how the earth adores each water drop
That drips from your beautiful attire
There is something special about you AJIKE
That ignite this flame of love inside of me
Could it be your smile?
Cos it sweetness beaconed on me
Could it be your endowment?
That which could not be hidden in a wrapper
Could it be your presence?
That makes the sky barren
And the wind lame in your absence
I think you are among the ORISA
That escorted OLODUMARE to IKOLE AIYE
No wonder your body likens that of a goddess
Far more gorgeous than YEYE OSUN
AJIKE I've drank the love potion in your eyes
I must be filled to the brim
No herb can cure me of this sickness
The ALAWO tried and yet failed
Your love has imprisoned me
I don't want to be set free
So when you see me AJIKE
When next we cross path
Know that this poet has fallen for you
From the tallest IROKO to the deepest river.
Stan has fallen for you.

WHAT IS POETRY?

What is poetry?

A turning loose of emotion of the soul that finds its thought
Through all the mysteries that the human mind can't sought

The magical of words ; a reminder of the richness and diversity of existence
Human out flow of powerful emotion; going beyond the heart resistence

A systematic creation of rhymes;written with the beauty of words
A masterpiece of ones inner breed that is worth above laurels and awards

A spontaneous overflow of powerful feeling
That which encapsulate the unseen which keeps the heart reeling

A thought that takes its origin from emotions recollected in tranquility
A revolt against artifice,a revolt in a sense against actuality

A mirror that makes beauty out of distorted world
An instrument of peace gotten with a magical pen not with gun and sword 

A language that speaks the words behind every tears and the mystery behind every smile
That which even the reality of life can't explain from a thousand mile 

A thought that breathe and words that burn in the archive of ones mind
An engrave writing on the walls of our heart that can't be blown by the wind

A framework of words that encapsulate our entire life
All that is worth remembering even in the afterlife 

an art of uniting pleasure with the truth
To see clearly prophecy and religion all in one root

This is the deification of human reality
Writing fueled with real emotions of true sincerity

A plucking at the heartstrings and making music with its beautiful rhymes
Notes of melodies and beats of the heart in each lines

A boned idea nerved and blooded with emotions all held together by delicate tough skin of words
A language in which man explores his own amazement of the wonders of the world

A robe , a royal apparel in which truth asserts its true worth
In an array of the divinity of truth

Poetry is the iota of hope and a verbal therapy in a crazy world
A life unseen in a world of emotion expressed with words

I AM STAN
