THE AFRICAN DRUM

THE AFRICAN DRUM
The sound of our time,
the beat of our lives,
the story of our history,
the history of our making.
you are the joy of the very begining,
but the end of the new begining.


your sound was the best call,
your beats saw endless steps,
and your story made the moon stay extra night.
your history is what our future is missing,
your begining is locked in graves,
with your end missing down the shelves.


when can i find one drum so large,
termites feast my waiting flute,
age bends my patient legs,
and each day I move away from my voice.
my heart beat away each day in wait,
just to beat, just to hear and just to dance.


if in this life our meeting is never real,
History our heaven, will wait,
so back where hearts fear to reach,
someday with you i'll surely play.
this is to you a drum of memories,
to the drum that will never beat,
to you my African Drum.

you're okay.

Firstly, I'll start with you,
Cos I know no other as a place,
You're not that angel for everyone,
Yet you fly so high in my mind,
In my head you stroll like a shock,
And cause nothing but some joy.

For what I see, I'd like to start,
Ask who made your face and I'll say first,
He read my mind and made my choice,
He never failed my eyes to see still,
My heart to feel and my mouth to speak,
You're a beauty, beautifully made.

For what you can't see l'd go thus,
On the eyes that caught me staring,
On that beautiful spot on your cheek,
Dimples like two glasses for us,
Filled with spilling attractions that caught me,
That yet I stayed seeing the fire exit.

Who can I just call you?
Someone I met or someone in me, better,
No joy could better our moments,
No song can linger than your laughter,
No echo better sounds interesting,
And no one's better for this path,
But you… you're okay.

Goodbye My Love

Days run,
weeks walk,
months crawl and years wait.
As memories draw their last breath.

Time was our best gift,
love was the dearest lift,
but we lost feet,
and we can't fit,
then we found pit.

Ordinary people we were,
in same world,
different words,
running to one wand,
to give dis world the greatest magic.
Love.

If hearts'll ever be true,
find just a day to be guilty,
who could be,
the beauty?
Or the tamed beast?
But somethings will never be,
like the thing we didn't say.


We didn't say goodbye,
but said apologies,
for dreams killed,
for the unborn children,
for the unacted scenes,
unwritten stories,
and hugs that never gave warmt.
Even the kisses blown waste...

Goodbye my love...

what wouldyou say

Everyday d sun says to d moon "hey friend, i'll see uat d end of ur shift" imagine d stars watching always and neva get bored.
But when a man says such, something might make him lie.
He's just a man, not perfect like d celestials

My love

My love! is this name enough?
My precious! did i get to it?
Peharps not sweet names,
but a kiss placed so well,
and face withdrawn with a smile.
...
You've gone through days,
the rough and smooth paths,
all in the yesterdays of your past ages.
You fell gently like water falls,
creating beauty, yet no pain!

Just like what i call you,
sweetheart!
Yori yori would never be close to it,
cos you made me feel better.

You are what we have,
a SISTER!
You are what we once had,
a MOTHER!
Like your name, you were a BLESSING,
One that I'm so stingy to share,
one that i love to love!
And one that God will keep.

The journey of age hasn't ended,
instead you stopped to refuel BLESSINGS,
like David said didnt know he was telling you,
GOODNESS AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW YOU,
ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE,
YOU'LL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD,
FOR EVER AND EVER.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

RHYME WITHIN MY TIME

to every time i did what i should,
to every wish i made when i could,
i find d world rolling against my wound,
...maybe i'm normal or off d truth,
till i repent and be who i should.

gaze around with eyes behind my head,
i searched the truth behind ahead!
Like needle and thread, i often felt.
A bit of me was lost but when?

For a moment i scrolled through my life,
all the paths clocks passed through my time,
i wished each tick! Meant a dime,
i would be a millionair in my time.

To every time i did what i should,
gaze around with eyes behind my head,
for a moment i scrolled through my life,
it was a rhyme within my time!

Hello Me

I wish d world could start a better way,
then I would start a better way,
but now u have d best a heart you know could do.

...Dear HARDY,
any other way to your heart,

strike like d thunder,
oh you struck me again!
I'm in love!! Ah!!

My Rose My HARDY,
i wish u knew the roses,
they're fine just like u,
with same whisper like yours.
Roses alway have a sweet thing to say,

"i miss u"
"i'm sory my love..."
roses could say more...
But never like you...

If i be the world a day,

If i steal d world a day,
I'll paint your name every where.
If I rule d world a day,

Hello HARDY,
My HARDY,
Dear HARDY,
Sweet HARDY,
My Rose,
My love.
