Lofty leaves caressed by dew
melodious morning; mesmerizes me
bulbous butterflies glowing gleefully
but a soft spike sparks the senses
a minute mote could form a mountain;
only hyena quells the lion’s roar

brother buried inside
kindly kindle my candle
let my longing lantern be lit
by the blaze of your bitterness
punch, pinch, prick, pester, prod
till I turn to thither and till my turn

My soul, singing songs of solemn sounds

The inside dutiful deity
I make me my world with my magic wand

4.
i walk warily with a wandering heart
trials and tribulations throw tantrums in my soul
my little world walks on wobbling feet
sending scared sacred saga down my bloodstream
waging wars in my brains
this is the me that rages inside me.

Why must he hid in my heart ?
To decide what my pen writes

A shell of many membranes
A body bearing a burden
A soul burrowed like a sole
A Pertinacious spirit; rigid as steel.
Screams of the outer me
Muffled by the inner me.

I am a lamb outside my wall
People often thought i am full of excitement like a mall

To protect the beast in me
I am not of Bad ones But i am of a Good Beast.

grazing grounds of hallowed histories
mingled mysteries of matured whims
shading dreams on serene stalls
thoughts of hope-unchained walls
sprout within me when I fall…

A thousand words could but paint
The choked, caged, curbed me
I wax on like the candle
Yet smoke out like the flame
Rekindle me and I will spark
Sparkling flames of chilly desires

Piecing pieces of peaceless beasts
Chaotic scenes charred black with flames
A restless being being trapped within
Voiceless rumbles escapes in violent mumbles
The me inside knows no peace

Changing the world with words
And threading paths with gods
Simply part of the mission
Solely soothing souls in serenade
WIth the scribes my ink has made

far bigger than the medieval
with a lot of cheering cast
within me foams mute words
inside me whips within
the bold Pen

Through thorn and thick

beyond the cities of worthy virtues
when tides of throbbing troubles

to to the me within

A vigorous, volcanic silent voice waiting to erupt,
Pegged back by postponement, due to procrastination,
Hiding behind praises earned thanks to pen painting inky letters,
Dying to set a stage on fiery, flaming engulfing fire,
Eager for screaming, squeaking, squealing sounds
From fancy frenzied fans.
~ SAm dE POet
18.
Blood freeze like iced fish
Holding all harvest of hatred
Like winter water, it ices its ways
Mindless, I am in a cold crowd of preys
I wish to turn an ember in their embrace
But laughter fills the vessel of my voice

19.
Unbroken tradition by which I have to abide
“An independent woman may be a prey of pride”
Battered by trepidation of being a forever bride
But marriage seems to me not a perpetual glide
Within every marriage, hitches and glitches hide
If I were me, I won’t risk the ride

in the waters of his dreams
wishing to wake again.
Confused, confused
beautifully broken and lost…
I do not know my name.

And refutes reliable me
Speaks wisdoms, ‘it’
That kicks with a hit
Wears bony uniform

Who can see it.
Ain’t nobody
Who can understand it.

He never stops sailing series of subtle scenes
In the canoe inside the Me in Me
At times, like the clasping of leaves
Often, like whistles of the whistling wild wind
Causing collapsing caresses of inkling bits…
Feeding my fidgeting fainting frame from failing
~ Bankole Kolawole
24.
In still night when men are steal by sleep
I stayed wake in solitude starring the serene dark
Sore silent tears travels across my cheeks
As pains of regret pierce my soul
of toddling poets inside me murdered
At the altar of peers and mother desire.

We sit around a table
They fed on flesh
Yet their hearts are hard
Bone and stone, I, throw down my throat
And now, my muscle seeks no muffle
But Important is the me inside

I’m not the glowing smile
that clothes my profusely bleeding heart
I’m not my loving heart
for I only may seek some seeds to save
I’m my own conscience
he silent battle between I and me inside..

27.
This fine face you’re feeling
is like a word with many meanings;
a mirror made with a million marbles-
It’s not one side you’re seeing.
There is only one me with one side
and that’s the me inside!
~ Adedamola Adefolahan
28.
Since their sight will not sight my sinking heart
So with sweet smiles, I seal my solemn face
I listen, lend, and love, lowering their hills t’ flat
Crashed and crushed, I move aimlessly in a misty maze
The me inside’s tired; the me outside’s fake
Someone should see through soon, or I might break
~ Isholaayodele Wasiu

Living lonely life like a lame lad,
Walking, wandering worst ways
While wretched winds whispers bad
Thoughts that’s tiptoeing into my thinking tray.
But that’s not me
I am a boy born blessed.

Drowned in enticing aspiration
Birthed to birth positive change
If time be patient with me,
And yet -brethren breathe,
The me inside’ll better my countryside.

My maddening mindless mirage
Crafty crazy cunning cloak
Dastardly daring dooming disguise
Feeble feather-fronted fickle face
Done deeds drum depression deep
Me make minds muse my merriless merriment

Polished pranks
Played by politicians
Pulls the me inside
To post a perfect poem
Like a protesting poet
Pointing at their practices

Dancing with the dawn day after day
Sparking so at each rising ray
She boasts, bragging by and by
Chuckling as Christmas chickens cry
‘Next year, I will be who I want to be!’

Bright beautiful brain brings blessing
From families, friends and foes
As i speak from my belly
Where rivers of words flow
Amidst foods,wines and worms

vehemently, i dare dedication
just to bring to outside the me inside
as many will see success
glittering gallantly on street billboards
