Psalms of Olúwalónimí

When your emotions bubble to the surface And when you go void of emotions I'd be right here When you beam at me in pleasure And when you frown at me in anger I'd be right here When you pat my back And when you strike me I'd be right here When you let out the words And when you are mute Oh, I'd be here Far bigger is what has brought us together Emotion has got nothing on it It's called Destiny! However you decide to communicate fatherhood I'd be here At your feet Looking up to you...

You.. Like wind, you breezed in Besetting... Your vulnerability and honesty Your mind and skill You spelt out your intention and fears I saw it, oh I did. Willfully and stupidly, I fell Because, well.... emotions- sometimes I still wonder why it exists. I let open some of my doors I toyed and enjoyed the moment Emotions speaking louder than caution And now, the upshot I face- This, I'm not happy about. But I've joy Unspeakable Even if you are reaffirming your doubts And my fingers are burnt I have joy that's not dependent on you You have thought me, Through you I see love in me- not the one you professed Never knew I had this much But really, I have no choice I am loved the same way The love reaches down to who I am and can be I see me becoming Him. My joy knows no bounds, seeing I can offer the same. But I'm afraid, you'd have to call for help- No discounts! I'm not bittered I'm joyful and more joyful that I am not. Oh this ...

Had a peek into my heart And i found so much wickedness.  Adultery- my heart still strays It saddens me Little wonder, you compared our righteousness with a menstrual rag To think that I can have this thought is scary But only you can do this I'm not striving to be righteous Again, the goal is to be You To have your nature. Not in how much I try, in myself I embrace this light again I am poor Make me perfect. (Written 2wks ago)

Met you at Otto park. Heading to Kebbi state I managed to notice you Though we were side by side for 18hrs. We uttered no word to each other I was too shocked by the reality that faced me- The trip to Dakingari. Our path crossed again at registration We had to talk; at least pleasantries. Then a discussion sparked From one topic to another We discussed effortlessly You spewed my mind like you had a copy of it; You have an idea of the light I have seen. Bliss! Speaking my experiences, asking my questions.. Story of your life and escapades You talked with utmost sincerity I feel relaxed Still, who are you? Oh! So you missed your flight? And did you have to be a health worker? A writer too? What is this? Why does it seem like I've known you for years? Why does it have to be Land of equity? Who. Are. You? (Written a month ago)
