TOMORROW

A SEQUEL TO YESTERDAY BY OLUWAKAYODE TAIWO

Tomorrow is a dreary sky ,
darkened the rays of my forthcoming sun,
The altitude, form and thickness of the clouds,
become factors affecting the cooling of my Earth.

Tomorrow is a twisted roadmap,
Full of faint track, nocuous path, and a tricky trail,
It sometimes thrills or scares my paces,
It's a route of rough road and rugged transit.

Tomorrow is an elusive phantasm,
Presents to my eyes, my mild mind, and my saint soul,
A future of fortuitous events or imaginative fortunes,
Dreams of wishful thinking or life of desperate changes.

Tomorrow is a rainbow of possibilities,
Presents to my eyes, my mild mind, and my saint soul,
A sensory overload of beautiful colors,
Passionate love or danger-bearing emotions,
Days of joy or overwhelming periods of sorrow,
Years of success, or deadly durations of failure.

Tomorrow is an unseen paradise,
Presents to my eyes, my mild mind, and my saint soul,
A home full of bliss, peace and delight,
A room teeming with different fruits, drinks and merry meals,
Where the plight of my street life would become a thing of the past,
Where I would sit and tell the world how yesterday was spent in dysphoria.

Duet with (ENNYOLA ALIU)  OLUWAKAYODE TAIWO Like a whirlwind so gigantic An ocean deep like Atlantic A dream that looks like magic A film strip with no static I close my eyes and dreamaway All I could see is your pretty face Smiling,whispering my name ENIOLA TAIWO From nowhere you came  You consume my heart  ♥   I never realise I had fallen  Into that deep  ♥  of yours  Each day,deep  👇  down I fall Found no one to pull me out Till I realized you're not of this world (Holuwakharyordae Taiwo)  That twinkle smiles of yours That sparkling teeth of yours That reddish part of your lips  💋 Make me wanna hold on to my kiss Like that sparkling diamond Your adorable baby face keep glowing I couldn't resist being your guardian (ENNYOLA ALIU)  Now I realise who you are An angel sent from thy Lord That just appear like flash And left with my heart Left me in a dip pit Which no one can pull me out Wishing I hadnt tuck you in my heart (Holuwakharyordae Taiwo)  All I wanna do

Boys Like Us

Do not tell boys like us  'life is simple like ABCD' When we still stutter on  L, M, N 'cus we're  used to  the nursery days Rhymes  ELLI, EHNNI, EMMU.  Do not tell boys like us the moon is not a picture  of our mothers and the stars are not the eyes  of our fathers we were brought up  with the tale of our forefathers who lived in the  walking clouds outskirt   we were told  they reach out to us  with beaming lights every night whilst we were taught  how to respond with  " twinkle twinkle little star" . Do not tell boys like us  to stay away ' from the rain ' do not remind boys like us  how to fly an umbrella when we've found solace  in the slippery rainy-dance  which flows with the rhythm of the raindrops   that strikes hard  our tattered roof  squirting water on our bodies  while we run  around the house  chanting "CATCH ME IF YOU CAN". #Iamteazhy ©The living legend
