She called me honey

She called me honey.
I knew she was phoney.
I stand to be human.
Never dictated by a woman.

 Honey raised my fears.
My eyes shed tears.
I feared to be licked.
My ego badly pricked.


I could be licked to zero.
My strength failed this...

The Twist

Dejectedly he stood in the prosecution box.
Tears made numerical eleven on his face.
A droplet escaped and dropped on his socks.
His heartbeat increased in its pace.
His mind did register it was a bad hoax.
Yet truth sprang like contesters in a...

The Skin

Everyone lives in a skin so tidy.
A skin tightly woven round the body.
Should we ever skin a human,
Hidden under will be secrets hard to scan.
What are your actions in the past?
Name your behaviour so worst.
Forgiveness are too hard to request.

Baptised

I wrote a poem and became a poet.
And got entangled in the net.
Yet writing a novel made me a novelist.
For writing I could not resist.
One time I became a blogger.
Simply because of a blog I was a lodger.
All names baptised on one man.

The Lord, my shepherd

So the psalmist David had this to say.

Only the Lord be the shepherd of my life.

His paths make me beside quiet waters ply.

The Iroko Has Fallen

Mourning reverbrated in the once quiet village.
The big Iroko tree had fallen in its pillage.
Wails, sobs and grief rended the air.
The situation was pathetic and full of despair.

Every mourner had words...

Where Do you Stand, Walk or Sit? (Psalms 1)

Never ever walk in the counsel of the ungodly.

Undecided she stayed on the fence.
