I SERVE A GOD AND NOT A DOG

by

nicholas ayoola oladehin

Am amazed at the awesomeness of the love that he gladly showered upon us as men. His plans for us as always has been for good and not evil because he had prepared and orchestrated the routes to a fulfilled end for us: as long as we followed his instructions, laws and daily enriched ourselves with his word (which luckily for us is free).

When he prepared for this exciting and important mission, his plan was to create a likeness of himself (more like needing a brother, a sister, a friend: someone and a people he could share thoughts with; a people that looked like him). He moulded us from clay into an image of his likeness, he filled our beings with the breathe of life and he called us ‘’MAN’’. He was a great scientist who understood the principles of the attraction of unlike terms and he therefore moulded out ‘’WOMAN’’ from the very rib of ‘’MAN’’.

He made adequate provisions for food, water and was responsible for the creation of life in all forms. After creation, the whole world to him was like a village and he placed us in the city of EDEN as a King and a Queen.

He gave us dominion over every single thing that he had created (as nothing was too big for him to give away) except the forbidden fruit (which he forbade us to eat).

Even when we disobeyed and were cast out of our original home to fend for ourselves, he still was always there waiting earnestly for us to call on him in our times of need.

He has given us a second chance of a kingdom where we can live forever (which was his original plan for Eden) but then it has only been prepared for the worthy (those that seek him and do his will). He is a supreme being, not an animal on a lead (that is controlled by men at will), He speaks and doesn’t bark, He loves his words and not the bone, He is not just mans best friend (a dog as most people say), He indeed is GOD and not DOG.

My other Half

To live as one, you and I,
under the heavens a vow we made,
on earth and in heaven our love was bond,
you and I as one to remain.
Betray not the love we share
Betrayal indeed is the saddest pain of love
the cure of which is hard to find.
Together as one to live...we vowed
for an unsolved riddle life would have been
without you here by my side.
Love is a riddle difficult to solve
Love is real; Love is sweet
The taste of honey to it I compare
The rainbow colours so brightly lit
Reminds me of the you I know
To God I'm grateful for making you
For me you were made... to care and to love
In my dreams I see you again and again
Love is amazing... so divine
It demands my soul, my life, my all

PS: I stumbled across this poem that I had written in 2001 from poetry.com where I had pasted it 10 years ago. Hope you like it?

Time up

by

nicholas ayoola oladehin

drenched of all strength,

weak and shivering,

am a prisoner caged in my own body,

enduring the pains from within,

threatening to eat my inner bits.

while pains un-endurable

reside in me

making my body a temporary home

wielding the iron rod at will

claiming supremacy over my being

forcing me to bow and kneel at will

a slave to my own self

it forces me to follow a routine

and wakes me up at odd hours

against my wish and will

it cripples me

and puts all activities to a halt

giving commands and taking charge.

this ULCER has overstayed its visit

am showing it the front door

am gathering inner strength

enough to send it back to hell

the PRODIGAL woman

by

nicholas ayoola oladehin

full of mischief

unpredictable

cunning and unstoppable

an exact copy of Eve

a replica of Delilah

born of a woman like all men

learning the trade of the barking clan

right from her youthful days

she melts into the night unseen

carrying her wares as she goes along

yearning for so much more

even though she lives in luxury.

she is a wife to a thousand men

a concubine to a thousand more.

she delights

in sharing the beds of her men

she loves with her body

and gives with her heart

and her soul is free for all to share.

she adorns herself with diamonds

and she swims in piles of gold

she changes her partners like tissue

selling her wares on sale

her once radiant frame

becomes a shadow of itself

gradually depreciating

revealing an image of wear and tear

she has travelled the world

deflowered by a thousand men

of a thousand tribes

now she retraces her steps

back to

Africa

Motherland

in search of her very first love.

Just the Two of Us

By

Nicholas Ayoola Oladehin

We started the day alone

waking up from different beds

We started the day alone

travelling out on different routes

We started the day alone

having lunch at different times

We started the day alone

searching through our worried minds

We started the day alone

making friends with the tall Big Ben

We started the day alone

watching as the hours go bye

We started the day alone

relying on our mobile phones

We started the day alone

yearning, longing and hoping

We started the day alone

but the night was full of smiles

We started the day alone

and we kissed as we said goodnight

Me and You

by

If I be Adam and you be Eve

we would have been out of Eden

If I be Romeo and you be Juliet

we would have made Shakespeare proud

If I be a King and you a Queen

we would have a kingdom of our own

If I be Samson and you be Delilah

I would have been betrayed by you

If I be a Prince and you a Princess

we would have tied the knot

But now that am me

And you are you

Then lets make a story of our own

my wish

by

nicholas ayoola oladehin

i crave for my lovers touch

for it calms my heavy heart

i crave for my lovers smile

for it sets my mood alight

i crave for my lovers kiss

for it tunes my troubled mind

i crave for my lovers voice

for its music in disguise

i crave for my lovers eyes

for they assure me all is well

i crave for my lovers embrace

for indeed

it makes me feel at peace
