G. Akanji Olaniyi

Stay here with me
I need you to be here, at the side of me
Now that I am having issues that try me
It will be the best time to see your loyalty to me
...

Combine all the feelings inside you
Sieve through the emotions that swirl around you
Filter out the sentiments that darken the glow
Arrange the words in a perfect line that will flow
...

Ramadhan! Ramadhan! !

The sight of the moon begins the month
So proud to join like riding a mount
...

Woke up and thought about it
Sat up and speak about it
Beginning from the strength of endowment
Going straight into the wisdom of catchment
...

At first I thought of a special delicacy
But He is neither into appetite nor any cuisine
Then I felt a good wine would do
But He neither gulps nor whets
...

Waking up to the new dawn
Very happy to get a healthy yawn
Thank you God, I have got the the right pawn
Little here and there, You will get it done!
...

I used to think that beauty is for the roses
I used to think that elegance is for the gazelle
Now I discovered that Cinderella is beauty
Now I discovered that Cinderella is elegance
...

Hello White House!
I have called to say hi!
My attire is without a tie
As I am not a resident of the house
...

Lost count of all you did for me
Counting is a big task for me
May even become a burden on me
A mere waste of time by me
...

Ask yourself if he is a friend
Think deep before you accept
Hesitate a little before you follow
...

She was born on January 1st
Waited for christening on October 1st
Pushing forward years of fifty-nine
Cultivating lands of yours and mine
...

Is there a thing or two I wanted to say?
May be a dream or goal I wished today
Is there a question or answer in disarray?
May be the fear in dire need to allay
...

I am very stubborn
So stubborn that I will not change
I will not change from knowing the truth
I will not change from believing the truth
...

HE COULD NOT BREATHE

Could he had reduced the melanin of his skin
Or he could had applied a bleaching cream
...

Since the departure of the last bus
On board were the heroes
Those who refined and defined our world
Leaving us with sweet memories
...

In this month of March
You shall keep the onward match
And never go out like an ignited match
But stay up in pride as a garment rich in starch
...

Let them be!

Let the light be
If you are not of the dark
...

My little boy
Is a little genius
He stops at nothing
But does his synchronized crying
...

Where you find the mountains
You find the valleys in undulating supports
Where you find the oceans
You find the banks flourishing in waters
...

The sky is not a secured shelter
Though laced in shimmering clouds
Sunshine and rain are its weaknesses
...
