Imaginable Hope

I live on the line of hope
Hope for the better day that will come.

I sang with joy within my vein
Glory, glory, our day of hope is here
I could feel her presence
Wrapped in the mystery of imagination.

Hope is here to stay
Life is here to worth a meaning
That I might live like a man
Who has a purpose to fulfill his calling.

All In All

The fury forest of life
Seek to consume me
But in the strength of His Word
Will I put my trust.

Life in the dungeon of hope
Tempted my soul to go astray
But I shall not weary 
For in Him will I put my trust.

I looked to heaven
And cried for help
He sat and tendered His hand
That I might behold His glory.

Him who was replaced for my sake
Blameless lamp who borne my shame
Him who loves me without a fault
His life He gave that I will live eternally.

When?

I sat in tears
With thoughts gone
Like a smoke out of a thatch roof
To where do it ascends to?

I cry in thoughts
As silent gripped me 
My life I seem to lack control
To where is my thoughts roaming to?

I cry, oh, I weep
Oblivion has become a thought in waiting
Where shall the way of all mortal come?

To me, a day is in waiting
A day I will see my sleep ascends forever.

Two�s In One

My head shakes

With tears that almost drops.

My mind questioned

With a heart that pains

Our society what has it become.

My heart bleeds

With sorrow covered in sag clothes.

My soul wept like one who has no hope

How in the mist of plenty

Many shares� no hope for tomorrow.

I wept with uncontrollable heart

For a journey out for life�s struggles

I see sorrows planted in the corner of our roads.

 

 

�Nsikak Andrew, 2nd July, 2008

I Shall

I shall be a mask covered in mystery
I shall be a thought provoked by your heart
Till you dare in suspend to cry.

I shall be a roar in your deepest thought
Castigating your being like the lost of breathe
I shall be a torment to your soul
Breathing valour that must awaken your midnight sleep.

I shall be mad with wicked thoughts,
Thoughts that will reduce your ego to nothing
And make you beg for your right
Like a suspect that committed no crime.

I shall be a terror to your soul
Yes I shall be your wicked thoughts
I shall be your hate-love till you realize
That a Friday that seems good is known on a Wednesday.

Needlelines

In stitches of lines,

Patches of thoughts gathered in words

Thoughts that seem incoherent,

Breathes with the air that unction life.

In lines of emotional inflows,

Loneliness of secret thoughts resurrects

And life is produced in thoughts that breathes

Now I see an angel in the lines that births.

It may sound stupid to the ears of some

Or might make nonsense to many

But to the mind that cherishes the gift of nature

The inborn of a gift is their reward.

In lines of thoughts

Inspiration resurrects like the stitching from a needle

My thoughts are like life buried within a closet

Her day of glory shines beyond the days she was born.

I had rejected this gift out of ignorance

How I was beaten to surrender feeling worthless

Why must it be me of all worthy of this I asked myself?

But now that I had known better, I breathe these lines in thoughts.

Tick And Fleshy

Tick and fleshy
Her body aglow in mass of flesh  
Tall and heavy
In mass of pride she carries herself
Bold and sexy
In glamorous praise she define her style
Big and trendy
Imagination of the brain can�t ignore her naturalness.

A gift to humanity, black that is beautiful
With the right flesh and curve at their perfect places
She defines who an African beauty should be.

Who would fault those gifts from nature?
For there are not a make believe
That is described in sheer confusion as
Broomstick, rail stick, pencil thing�
But a rare gift an African man
Would take home as a wife.

Heart Of Deceit

Suddenly,
Her lines seem to cease
And those words
That could make a soul rethink fades 
Now the heart wondered in shame
If it has hurt a soul with her thought.

Now my thoughts roam
The line of words seem to cease
I sat here in the dark
With eyes fixed to the sky with questions
�What is a love worth
When the heart of deceit rules her?

 

 

�Nsikak Andrew, 12th March, 2008 & 29th April, 2008

Dance In The Forest

The passion of the wave
Blowing without caution
The signs of her music
Only known to her inhabitants.

Dancing time is here
The trees shall dance
The grasses shall dance
The living and non-living
All shall hear her melodies.

Gentle by gentle her drumming evokes 
Wild by wild her dancing began
Day in day out her sound spreads
In mysteries that is only know to the spirits.

Worthy Princess

She whose voice resonates
She whose head the crown fits
A worthy Princes from Uduan Inyang Atakpo
She is whose heart accommodates all.

I had tested her kindness
So I could tell beyond reasoning
She is a gift whose heart transcends boundaries.

Years has gone by
Yet her beauty blossom beyond ages
She is same, the way she was.
I am talking of her
Her they called �Phonetic�
Her that was ones crown �Miss Akpoly�

I saw her some months passed
Still she was carrying that same pride
Same pride that defines a true African woman.

Embodiment of help I would say
For out of her way she could go to help others
These virtues are only a reserve for a Princess
She is a princess that goes by the name � Uduak Ette-etim.

Abuja

Abuja
Centre of our dream
Abuja
Thoughts that seals on the rocks
Abuja
Slopes of rocks towered to the sky
As smokes accelerate with messages
That shown your might.

Abuja
City for all
No one lay siege to you  
Abuja
In batches the flame of your glory arises
Round about her is enclosed by hilly mountains
Mountains that protects her towering reign.

Abuja
A city to live
Abuja
A crown to wear
Abuja
Our centre of excellence
Abuja
Our Abuja, our dreams
In fullest of hand fulfilled.

Bazaar

Free for all fight
Only the privileged few partakes
In this wanton sharing of our collective asset
They have perfected an act
To milk us dry even if we are dying.

Free for all fight
Decent men have adopted the thuggery way
Our national cake they must share within the few
The masses let them go to hell
This cake is our right for life.

I looked and I wept
When I saw decent men fought for nothing 
They were elected to serve
But the greed of the loots
They seek to enjoy alone.

How do we survive?
When all their thought is to share all
Like Bazaar our nation they seek to auction
With no hope of restoring our lost glory.

Here we are in a nation of plenty
Held bond by the selfishness of a few cabals
Whose strength in their pre-occupation are to loot all
Which their seven generation wouldn�t be able to fiddle away.

Nature Work Of Art

Crested in the wall of my heart
Is a perfect work of art beyond description
Monaliza was painted
But here is �Mona� beyond the �Liza�
A perfect work of art crested from above.

Words are so hard to search
That which befits here alluring beauty
Lips in glory of praise
Legs in shame of the Campbell�s
Hips that dethrone the J-Lo�s
Body any right sense could die for.

My nature work of art
Rest in my deeper most thought
Let the beauty of you refresh me
Like the blossom of a morning rose
For I shall rest in thought of you
Till the day we might walk down the aisle
To say I do, my nature work of art.

Valentine Romantic Love Message

 

The day for lovers
Today is it
Love is in the air
I see it spread.

The sky smiles,
The air dances,
The earth walks
Messages of love they all brings.

Today is Val
Let true love reign.

Day Light Commandoes

Smooth ride within a second
Corrupted by pot-holes
Those are the testimonies of their zero-minds
For her to be good, billions are allocated
But to the pockets of the Fixers it has disappeared.

Here we are stuck in between the commandoes
Who has capitalized on the zero-mindedness of our Fixers
Now the innocent citizenry would bear their default.  

They have strike, they have strike
In broad day light they have strike
Men of the dark night
Now found courage in day light.

We are in trouble
For the minutes they lasted
Our faith hangs in the air
Will we live to tell our story?
Or would we be escorted beyond
By the butt of their weapon 
In silent, our hearts prayed.

Heart Away

Roaming away in thoughts

Guessing away in wait

What a terrible situation this is.

Who can control the invisible?

Nor can dethrone the voice that the heart bears?

What�s a life that solutions aren�t abounded?

I saw my heart roaming in motion

My heart castigating in roaring thoughts

What is this that has befallen me?

To the throne of a foreign lands

It roams without any control

Here I am in thought but my heart away.

�Nsikak Andrew, 8th April, 2008

Fear

He walks like a shadow
Always faster than his shadow
He lives in us
Always drawing us two step backward
There he stands
With one mission to pull us downward.

Fadeless Treasure

Yours after her reign
Yet the traces of her beauty reigns
Who would compete with her?
One created after a rested day.

She has been
And she has seen them all
Now she can tell
These secrets that keeps her age.

What are these secrets?
I peeped into her thoughts
With the imagination of an instinct mind
I could tell the answer within a glance.

I was born with a smile,
I have a heart that knows no hatred,
Then I live my life for all
These I heard the secret voice whispered.

Road To No Where

Bashing in the emporium of love

A journey to nowhere I made

The little that could have been my hands saving

How I wasted them in search of that which might never be.

Silly, I felt my soul cried

How could you pain your heart this much?

Wondering in search of a treasure that despises you

As if without her

You will breathe none of another day.

How could you be this na�ve?

When your eyes could see the signs

The very signs that reads the hearts

�I don�t want you wish you would understand�.

Alone Here In My Lonely World

Alone here in my lonely world
Thoughts of you control my imagination
Woman whose words are true
She is that I trusted to a fault.

Alone here I sat,
With thoughts that awoken your glory
Woman who took my shame away
With that meekness of her silent touch.

Alone here I walk
With lonely thought that roar
Woman whose thought consumed me like wild fire.

Alone here I sleep,
Thoughts of you calm me like a gentle breeze
Woman whose love gave me a peace of mind.

Alone here in my lonely world
I could see a brighter light
Light that guides the path of two stars
Two stars that might become as one.

 

 

�Nsikak Andrew, 18th March, 2008

I Remember The Day

I remember the day to which I saw you
The day you walked with a lonely thought.

I remember the day to which I halted you
The day I sang the sweet tune of love.

I remember the day to which my friend saw you
The day he begged that I should exchange you for him.

I remember the day to which I held your hand
The day I wish never to let you go.

I remember the day to which I kissed your lips
The day my heart roams like a wild wind.

I remember the day to which I scent your swell smell,
The day your fragrance rules the air with romantic pleasures.

I remember the day to which we made L.O.V.E.
The day you took the shame of my nakedness away.

I remember the day to which you cry
The day you weaken my heart to surrender.
 

The remember the day to which I would have vowed     
The day you ran out on me with tears.

I remember the day to which I saw you again
The day I wondered �could things ever be the same again�?

I remember the day to which�
The day�

Stranger In Need

I came like a stranger in need
In need of help that seems impossible.

I came from far
My belly is hungry
My mouth is tasty
My legs are weary.

I came for help that seems impossible
But with God I know all things are possible
For He uses men to bless a man
And He will used you to bless me.

 

�Nsikak Andrew, 16th February, 2008

Provoke No More My Heart

Provoke no more my heart to love

For in the heart of love deceit rules

The enigma for loving I now lack

The heart that breathe love has now fade away

Now I am a loner with thoughts that irritates love

It pains, for now, love makes no meaning to me.

�Nsikak Andrew, 17th January, 2008 & 20th January, 2008

Yellow Sun

Hang in the sky
And shower you blessing
Oh! Bless thy the earth
With your adorable smiles.

Up above the sky,
The yellow sun holds her peace
Like the clock, it tells the time.

Evening is here,
Soon, it shall roll into the night
Who knows what the day holds?
Nor can tell what the night brings?

I look into the sky and smile
For the day�s struggle
Has counted her blessing.

See the yellow sun,
Brighter than ever.

Paradise On Gold

Oh! what a sweet morning
I woke up a happy man
Just going through your sweetest notes
Those hearts felt words I capture
�Paradise on Gold�

�I feel like I can trust you
I don�t know why because I just met you
But I feel like there is something special about you
That I haven�t yet found in other males,
And that is the fact that you are sincere,
Nice-looking and trustworthy all at the same time�.

You wrote those words that crippled my being
And elevated me to a mini-being
My head swells with delight
I dream love cast from above
But now I understand that words
Are like stone thrown on the surface of a river.

 

�Nsikak Andrew, 20th August, 2007

Overlooking The River

From this route they came
Women of vision� prides to behold�
Freedom fighter who mobilized to resist
That act of tax the colonial master bestowed
From here they came
The route of the river they follow
That history would bear them witness.

Stories of their conqueror
Are now told centuries there after
Women who fought the Ikot Abasi women riot
But see how history seeks to place them wrong
Didn�t they say it is Aba woman riot?
But where was it fought?

Come to Ikot Abasi
Ask of the Independence Park
For there you would see the Obelist
For the victims of the women�s war of 1929.

Tears For Love

With no care in the world

I see it drops freely

Hot and gentle it came

That it seeks not to be controlled.

What is going on?

I couldn�t question my heart

But there it was

Flowing like no end to come.

How could this be?

Questions that answers couldn�t find

It has roll out

Who could put her back?

It drops� how it drops�

That which yearns to be loved

It drops�

That the heart felt her pain in questions.  

Don�t you know what the heart feels?

When it loves, it drops tears

Tears that no hand of time could turn.

Tears for love,

That�s what I came to share

Tears for love

That�s the message I bring

Tears for love,

Have you ever love

That tears drop down your eyes?

�Nsikak Andrew, 17th December, 2004, 18th February, 2008 & 4th March, 2008

Lonely Night

Lonely night
with lonely thoughts
Yearning heart
breath your name.

Shock is the heart
that feels your presence
For the night I dream
All I could remember was you.

Sleep

Sleep!
Elope my eyes
Take away your compulsory lessons
For in you we learn the process of journeying beyond.

Sleep!
Elope me eyes
So I could burn the mid-night oil
That the morning would sing my victory song.

Sleep o! Sleep!
Get thee behind me
For the mind that seeks
To drink from the cup of poverty
You guide their steps to wallow in self pity.

Ifim Ibom Ibibio

Ifim!
The scare stool
That only our Royal Majesties could sat down
Ifim!
What does it symbolizes?
The cradle of our civilization.

From the fourth largest ethnic group in Nigeria
Her descendants came in unity from wide and near
With a royal blessing Ifim Ibom Ibibio was born -
The Supreme Council of Ibibio Traditional Rulers.

The hub of Ibibio unity
Our traditional custodians
We salute your brave courage
For in our root you have come to identify
That we shall build our treasure Asan
Where our children�s children will accord
The spread of our journey.

Show me a man with a future
Then I will show you a man that knows his root
Show me a man that knows his past
Then I will show you a man that knows his future.
