Love is not enough by Okpakpa Erezi

Life is deep the aged say

as a youth I laughed at them

cos I felt it was a joke

now with beards beneath my chin

friendly girl around me come

hand in hand in streets we walk

singing songs from heart to heart

day to day this bond grew thick

not a day without her smile

else this heart will go on strike

to this bliss she testified

chemistry beyond earths reach

now she says am just a friend

her best friend I will always be

quick flash back my brain produced

what the aged said was deep
no wonder the people say
"love alone is not enough"

i stand in awe with disbelief

saying loudly to myself

when aflame neighbour’s roof go

boy be careful of thine own

what goes around sure comes around

True Feelings by Okpakpa Erezi

Laying lonely on my bed
slowly rolling end to end
many thoughts bombarding mind
with thine own above them all
strongly wishing mind will yield
just to spill how strong this feels
but to roof this tongue doth cleave
at  the entrance of thy light
i find am longing for thy warmth
but this mouth wont have it so
so heart bleeds with much to dread
eyes doth scream that thou may see
that this facade you must ignore
and true feeling thou decern
till foot hold my words doth find
be rest assured am sold to thee
and your course i shall  defend
till the day i breath my last
if in doubt remember that
i cross my heart and hope to die

Simply friends by Okpakpa Erezi

Skin as light as light can be
eyes so bright you wont think right
though she smiles from miles away
in your heart you feel her nigh
when she parts her lip to smile
warm tears run down from your heart
soul doth melt with tears and glee
when your jokes unlocks her love
day by day your body mourns
more than friends you wish to be
night through night sweet lines you brew
to endear her to your arms
but with smiles so soft and sure
 just good friends she wants to be
now with heart tearing in two
these sad lines your keyboard types
if alas her mind doth change
happy man on earth you will be
until then we hope on hope
wishing that all this will change

Mop them by Okpakpa Erezi

wanting to take off
we head for Lagos
which was not far off
to find the logos
and fix a locus
we were not bogus
we just had focus
which made them hate us
without a just cause 
they tried to curse us
but curse will not curse
without a just curse
right now they discuss
wanting to use force
this really disgusts
they claim to know God
how can they this claim
when they just disdained
the lord will burst them
and later rust them
cos we cant trust them
we will not mob them
or even judge them
so age can mop them
they want to jump us
and even hump us
so men will dump us
they even bugged us
in st petersburgh
till God debugged us
and Reebok us
inside Edinburgh
right now they grumble
because they sorrow
while we get double
for all our trouble

Bling bling zing thing by Okpakpa Erezi

Hard choice between mining and dining
Behold at this point the time line
I  stand before a fine line
the fate of jobbing , being jobbed or  be jobless
straying off course to towards the window blind
i find I have a mined mind
outside on all sides were hind mines dam!!!
must be a sharp blend
Just inches away from that that pinches
Time still still at least so I thought
Only to find it stealing away to tick tock
going behind is a wild crime and this crime has got to grind
for indeed i crossed the by-line
now I seek brine cos I lack the vine yet with something divine
my thirst now twice high what a sin thing
this sport ain't gold there ain't no zing thing cos there is no bling bling
not a good sign to face the hard life
do not cry jeez or be intrigued
Cos at the end’s end Jesus remains the real thing……deuces

Just for you by Okpakpa Erezi

I loved being young so much that i began to envy peter pan,then i thought of you and  i knew i had to be like david so i can defeat Goliath and become king of my isreal.
I love a good night sleep but then i dream of you and  decide to work while men sleep so that i will be able to meet your daily needs.
I think you and i gain strength to sit late and study so u will b proud when i speak.
I think of you and i begin to save so as to secure our financial future.
I think of you and i want to be responsible so as not to break your heart or cause you pain.
If i do anything good today it is because i want you to be a proud wife.
Wherever you are just know in your heart that someone is somewhere working hard to make you a happy and comfortable tomorrow.
Yes,i am not the best guy in town but i promise to give you the best love around,
I cant promise to always make u happy but i promise to make our home the abode of joy.
Baby i bleed today so i can comfortably hold you in my arms tomorrow and till death do us part,i love you my baby and you satisfy me completely.

In all fairness and deceit by Okpakpa Erezi

No matter how good we are at differentiating a facade from the real thing we all sometimes love the short-cut of taking people for what we feel,think,see or even worse what we hear not taking into consideration existing bias,propaganda and circumstance.
