Dada Olowo Eyo Dec 2019
For this could be the last,
Time, I hold you, mother,
So, let none put asunder,
This love, in blood cast.
My mother suffered a mild stroke six months after my father died in 2016, they were married forty-six years. She'll be seventy years old in year twenty-twenty.

She is with me presently to help with her newborn grandson as is the Yoruba tradition.

It's always a dicey situation with her around because of her strong beliefs and strictness. None of which my wife will have.

Our voices will be heard,
Your handmade fences can't stop us,
You may come with your galactic force,
But our will cut through your thick head.

Tarry, oh young love,
For thine heart, I see pure,
But make haste, for time abideth not,
The grave is a cold, lonely place.

Can't take it all in!
Too enormous to handle,
If you must ram your bundle,
Then slide the **** thing!

The velvety breeze of the desert,
Caressed my bronze skin,
It's golden shimmer called out alluringly,
The silky smoothness ran through my fingers,
And danced seductively under my aching feet.

Roads paved with sweat and dedication,
Making for free and unhindered motion,
This deliberate act of civilisation,
Is one vision shared by the entire nation.
Dada Olowo Eyo Nov 2019
Everything in its place,
In this peaceful space,
Being here by special grace,
Something no devil can ever replace.
