'GIVE ME A SMILE'

 

Take the whole world from me

give me a smile

it takes away my cry

it brings me life

when my day seems dark

smile breaks the dark

makes the old young, the weak strong

your world is mystical

you make me see beyond the physical

I dream of the supernatural

I see a man for the global

the joy you bring, unspeakable

the world you create, so beautiful

through you, all I see is truth

all I feel is real

you break my chains

you make me free

I can walk through fire to get you

your sight makes me dare the ocean

you shine like diamond, nothing but the star

take the whole world from me

always give me a smile

never be the reason they cry

always be the reason they smile

make someone smile today

     God bless you

'NEW WORLD'

 

Our life is in shackle

no sun on our rubble

friendly foes mingle

as our hope fissle

night metamorphous to day

the world still the same

pave for us a new way 

erase our past shame

I dream of a new world

a paradise on earth

a world without sword

with peace in its depth

a new you is possible

a new me is visible

a new world is achievable

where TRUE LOVE is stable

'STREAMS OF MY PAST'

Sparkling and glassy was the stream of my past

It was but shallow though vast

Shallow enough to restrict depths of agony

To say it contained dirt or black earth would be an irony

Flourishing; it did in its season, until it dried up for no reason

I sat all long waiting for its return

If my stream was coming back; I was never sure

Seasons rolled by and I grew tired of the shore.

Strolling up this lonely path of mine, I heard splashes against the rocky earth

I looked around; trying to figure out the source

I was happy; hoping to replace my loss

Here in my new found love, I see a replica of me

A glassy surface revealing the beautiful me

My stream is not just beautiful, but also resourceful

I'll just enjoy it while it lasts, because it will soon be like my past's

PREGNANT SEASON

Tick Tick, Tick Tick
the sound of time
night to day
darkness to light

joyful noise rent the air
season greetings is all I hear
happy children dance and scream
the elders are chasing their dreams

many lips resolution
but few realization
thousand seeds planted
watering hands are dry

As the new dawn unfolds
pursue your dreams and don't faint
its a new season
A season pregnant with greatness
                 HAPPY NEW YEAR

WHO AM I?

Official! WHO AM I? By Akande David Oluwadamilola (D-Plus). This work is dedicated to God almighty for adding another year to my years on earth today.
I  was homeless
Your arms my refuge
I was thirsty
Your living spring quenched my thirst
I had no cloths
Your Glory covered me

I walked on snakes and serpents
I felt no pain
I was nothing
You gave me everything
I drank water in the desert
I reaped plenty during famine

They call me barren
You made me fruitful
A simple question for everyone

Minus his grace, WHO AM I?

'GREAT FATHERLAND'

 This poem is dedicated to my 'GREAT FATHERLAND' NIGERIA on her 54th Independence anniversary. God bless NIGERIA

Great Fatherland Arise!

It is a brand new year

Wipe away yesterday’s tears

It is a new dawn, Arise!

The white merchants are gone but

I see their scars all over

Dream less of the past

The future is bright

Your children are crying

Wipe their tears

Your loved ones are dying

Save their lives

Great Fatherland Arise!

Stop them from  looting

Stop the killing

Stop tribalism

Stop the bombing

Let religious crisis stop

Great Fatherland Arise!

Tie your children like a broom

In unity is our growth

Great Fatherland, let peace reign

Great Fatherland Arise!

I believe in you

Wake up from your slumber

The future is BRIGHT and BEAUTIFUL

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE NIGERIA, MAY GOD CONTINUE TO ENLARGE YOUR COAST
