Praise Akanni

I love to be an actor.
You get to live many lives in just one.

I love to be an astronaut.
...

Below it lingers
And lurks around.
No where to go,
It stays.
...

He walks like one observing a March past
Swinging his hands like a pendulum
Not ignoring his head
But oscillating it.
...

The best, I wait for.
Nothing less than that, I shoot not.
Yet time I waste.
Conquest to be won, I lost.
...

365 days there is,
But like yesterday it feels.
Twelve months congeal,
But time just seems to tick.
...

Eyes locked
Gaze lingering
Hearts kissing.
Words are not enough.
...

Time, we dwell with
Yet all go and they come
While our faces scrub with scythe
Till in our Tomb
...

I gaze in silence as the waves rush to bank at the shore.

The wind whispers soft in my ears through every windows as it glides in through the doors.
...

I said ' I quit.'
But I was back at the door knocking.
I said ' I quit.'
But for the pleasure, I was longing.
...

They pass, leaving behind smiles and tears.
To seize the moment, we only think of;
Not feeling it with others.
Atimes we may not know who to share it with.
...

They tried to bury us,
But they never knew we are seeds.
Our branches, they tried to cut,
But they never knew - like abiku - we will always resurrect.
...

Her eyes I looked,
But deep I fell
Into those balls like the bottomless pit
With no end.
...

She asked me,
' Who am I? '
I replied,
' You are the raped lock
...

If everything turns to dust,
Then we must be like the metamorphosed dead.
If all becomes water,
Then like the poles we become.
...

Life.
A repeated cycle full of mistakes
With everyone living the life of another,
Claiming it as their new found story.
...

Love is not love,
Except shared.
Knowledge, equally is useless,
Except shared.
...
