Tolu Ogunlesi & Oumar Sesay

Had a nice time hosting two writers yesterday. Tolu Ogunlesi (Nigeria) and Poet Oumar Sesay ( Sierra Leone).

I had a very nice time talking about a wide range of topics. Oumar Sesay kindly presented me with a signed copy of his Poetry collection - Salute To The Remains Of A Peasant.

My favourite poem so far is - You are; which was written for his wife Fatima Sesay.

TV interview on Princess of Arize

Great day it was today. Had interview with Princess 'Deun Adedoyin-Solari on the Princess of arize talk show (Ben TV - Sky 194). Gracious hosts and generous live callers. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. Show cased my 'Tiger Woods' dance to Olu Maintain's yahoozee. All fun. Took pictures with Austin Eguavoen (Ex 'Super Eagles supremo' as they say) who was being interviewed for the Sports show imediately after Princess of arize.

Wish I had tickets for the FA cup final over across at Wembley. Kanu did the biz again. Scored the winner.

Up Super Eagles!! Up Naija!!

IMO KISSING
Philomena Ibe
Will not look away
When for her Emeka is searching
She’ill quicken her strides
And soon be beside
Emeka, and start Imo kissing.

Imo kissing, Imo kissing
Philomena loves Imo kissing
The taste of his lips and
The warmth of his love
is what Philomena calls
Imo kissing.



It Does

Don’t ask how
That bird flies across an ocean
It does
It does

Don’t ask how
The baby knows its mother
It does
It does

Don’t ask how
The earth just keeps on spinning
It does
It does

Don’t ask how
My heart could love you so much
It does
It does


In Love

Like a gentle water fall
To my soul
She soothes me
I experience the impossible
She tells me I am her man
And I believe

Butterflies flutter in my spine
Molten love transcends
My being
Is that a loin I see
waving at me?
Is that crocodile really
Kissing the Zebra goodnight?

Love is everywhere
I see stars and moon dancing
Dancing with the sun
Is it noon
Or night
So hard to tell
when you are in love


Good

Good has come to me
Dressed in colourful apparel
Good has come
With long hair,
a big smile,
lovely perfume

Good has danced with me
we moved as one
Like partners from another life
Good is a girl
I met today
A girl called…..Omoge
