The world stand up for men
Who make impact
Men who were outstanding
Men who knelt in defeat
But rose as kings
Men who made things to fly without wings
Men who's ventures set them aside
Men who soar above the clouds
Nothing holding them back from discovery
Men who We’re laying the path for a generation
That’s lacking the guidance

The flowers growing
Stretching it's tendrils forth
Under the canopy that holds all
I see how a dull grey leaf turn beautiful and colorful
You stood against the rain
Fighting against the wind
As I stare in amazement and wonder with each rise and fall
Now the sun sets over the mountains
From the weariest of the fountains
The sky's curtain open
Hills creep out of their shadows
And the ground gets wet preparing for a new season

As l lie on my bed shivery
I pounded on the journey we had together
I was so trapped in my thought
That I can hear myself screaming but it's muted and faint
Try to stop my eyes from crying
Then my heart start to bleed
Can't stop my tears falling
Until my eyes got swollen
Then fell asleep
As heartbreaking as a rampant snowstorm
As loud as a raging tempest
As broken as a shattered mirror
She lost my trust and I lost my confidence
Being on my mind
Thought about how carefully crafted she was
Always love staring at her perfection
Hers eyes glistened
But my feelings for her no longer flow like an ocean but a turbulence
Chasing an empty feeling along

If you are my star
my love for you would be a galaxy of constellations
If you are my light
My love for you is the brightness of a new day
If you are my air
my love for you would be gentle summer breeze
If you are my water
Then my love for you is deep as an ocean
If you are my Flower
Then my love for you is a bouquet of perfume rose
If you hadn't come into my life
I would never have know what love is
And for that am greatful
The happiness I feel when I hear your voice errupt my heart with love
What a beautiful eyes you have that sparkle in wonders
You have given color to my soul
You are the drugs that put me back on my feet and the heat that warm my body
©Akonu Emmanuel
In my heart I wish you were here with me
Walking straight ahead but not seeing anything
Surrounded by the cold breeze and the faint lightening
I tried but in vain to shake off the thought of you
There once was a time
When our hearts were in love
I reflect on your absence; within your neglect, I found peace.
The suspense arises when I come to terms with the fact that losing you meant finding me
The road is clear and my heart is starting to heal
What an ironic that you happen to drain me
Broken and devastated

We meet so many people in our lives but there are some people who have unique influence on our lives
Lonliness is like having friends but you feel alone
Heart break is hurting inside but you don’t react
Sadness is knowing no one actually loves you
Broken is hurting yourself and you don’t feel anything
Sickness is not being able to do the things you us to do
Poverty is the ability not to be able to provide for your needs
Ignorance is lacking the right information at that particular moment

In the silence of the night, the moon shine bright
Through the echoes in the night,bring forth knowledge
Nature balancing itself
The colors of the rainbow reflecting it light in water droplets remembering us that the world won't be destroy with water
The pool lies before us,
Inviting us to swim
The tree stands before us,
Inviting us into its shade
The sky is above us protecting us from sun burn
The bird flying teaches us to be in balance with nature
The cloud overhead showing us their shapes
Shadow walk with us reflecting our own self
The stars shine overhead
Inviting us to imagine
The flower opens its lovely face,
Inviting the bee into its gaze

Your glamorous smile
Makes me feel alive
Your charming eyes
Reflecting my desires
Your beauty is like the sun that brightens my world
I'm still searching for the shooting stars to bright my sky
Searching for that perfect shape(soulmate) that will be with me for a lifetime as we meet a lot of people in life but to fine that one person is something else
I discover a lot of shapes trying to reshaped but at the end they break apart
You don't need to be beautiful to be appreciated
You don't need to have flawless skin to be liked
You don't need to have clear skin to be loved
You don't need to have perfect body shape to be admired

#If everything where to be perfect
Life is worse when there is nothing to change about anything
The balance in life is based on the facts
that, there must be thieves and criminals for the police to remain employed
The medical practitioners would run out of
business if we are all hale and hearty. The legal practitioners would die of boredom if there aren’t offenders
If everyone are
vegetarians, Oh my!!! Guess how many people would not earn a living.
If everyone is rich, wealth would be meaningless. Who would do the laundry?
Who would drive the car? who would guard who? who would keep whose money?

Visual Acuity
Random thoughts made so many images residual
I heard the hum of a bee, paid no attention to its sight
Ignoring daytime
What happens if we cease to dream,
-Nothing will be left to imagine
What happens if we give up on possibility
-Nothing will be left to fathom
What happens if we no longer know who we are,
-We will be slave to humanity
What happens if we are no longer invisible,
-We must have gone to meet our creator
What happens if we are no longer inaudible
-We must have become deaf then
What happens if we no longer appreciate taste,
-Then they is no need to eat
What happens if we no longer feel another’s touch,
-Then we are dead to our senses

Walking in the shadows of my dreams
The pressure of my troubled mind
Trying to find an elusive answer
Sun light take away my dark cloud
Removing my mind from doubt and gloom
The picture of my dream I now firmly hold
Working hard to make the dream a reality
And a voices start to speak not possible
Then I start to think if I will make it through the night
I lie on the floor in a foetal position
Anxiously waiting for that small still voice to speak
Dragging the unbelief of my life out of my room
My breathing was slow
That I could feel the humidity of the air around me
Suddenly I start to feel the fire of possibility stening up passion in me
The boundless energy of life flowing through me
I know I can make it
I know I will survive
No matter what comes my way
I will surly win

Let these words travel through your soul, and let them rest in your heart as you rest in mine
Words alone will never be able to express the depth of my love for you.
Hand in hand and heart to heart my love for you shall never part.
Even though we are apart, my love you will never part.
I’ll love the sun for days, the moon for nights, and YOU for forever.
Loving you bring my heart happiness.
Rains fall, winds blow, the sun shines, it all comes naturally, just like loving you.
There is no long distance about love; it always finds a way to bring hearts together, no matter how many miles are between
them.
You are the sun in my day, the wind in my sky, the waves in my ocean, and the beat in my heart.
I wish I was there to hold you tight instead of just send this loving, “Good Morning
Thank you for being the one who calms all my inner fears.

They was this girl....
That walk into a shopping complex
I was definitely not planning on meeting someone
It was magical at sight
Felt a connection but fate played a cruel joke and the timing was wrong
She was idiosyncratic, roaming and taciturn
My canister of love overflowed
Love healing all wound
Without her is like facebook without friends , youtube without videos and google with no results
Just waiting for fate to bring us together

Friends trust
Betrayer gossip
Isolation leading to depression
Leaving me stranded on an island of lonliness and contentment
The peace of death its so damn threatening
Eigengrau is all I see
So desperate to relieve pain with agony
If my solitude make you happy I'll gladly get on the guillotine
Once this is over
I shall run into the arms of each morning and take in the deepest breath

Now is the time we must team up in order to survive and stay strong
Behind every nation that have ever succeed there's always a team
A team of the leaders and the people
Together we can create the change we want
We are one people despite our unique differences
We must unite to help our brothers and sisters to see the light
This country have carried our history
Here our cultural thrives were made
The food of our homeland still sits on our table
And the language of our ancestors we still speak
Our colour is green and white
We stand for natural wealth and peace
We are one

Gilded weapons of interference beating
Energy transfer within tribe
Kinetic traffic of war and hatred
Because my hair is nappy and yours is straight doesn't mean we are different
Our skin are brown and yours white doesn't mean we are different
Skin lurking as a memory site for the revolt of a republican
We live in insecurities and you live in peace
A relic of grief searching for the creators numen
The fire in our eyes burns with desire of love and prayers
We are never diminishes in our life giving strength
We can only change the future if we stay together
Hand in hand we can change people hearts
No matter who we are we all one people
©Akonu Emmanuel
Death takes a person from time to a timeless world
People who once live now become slaves to memories
Missing but can't reach
Time of memories stuck in our own mind
A thousand words nor tears can't bring them back
A fresh start with your final breath
Wallowing in the dark
With no trace of coming back
Spring make way for summer
Death make way for life
Dawn make way for a brighter day
Twilight make way for a darker night
Silence appears in the absence of sound
