In the heart of Africa, ‘neath Yoruba skies,
Children gather ’round, where wisdom lies.
A coach with tales, of Orunmila’s insight,
Guiding young minds, in the soft moonlight.

Osun’s river whispers, folktales untold,
Of gods and goddesses, their stories unfold.
In Ife’s embrace, where Oduduwa begun,
A journey through time, as the setting sun.

“Listen, young ones,” the coach imparts,
“Esu’s mischief, in life’s intricate arts.
Oya’s winds, Sango’s thunderous might,
In every tale, in every sacred site.”

Under Ogun’s gaze, stars shimmer bright,
They learn of their roots, in the gentle night.
In the rhythm of talking drums, beat of the heart,
A beauty of culture, a work of art.

“Like leaves that dance in Osun’s breeze,
Each child holds gifts, unique expertise.
Air, water, fire, and earth unfold,
Teach them well, let Yoruba stories be told.”

With fireside tales and moonlit skies,
Children learn to see with ancestral eyes.
Nature’s wonders, a guide to their fate,
As Ela watches, at the cosmic gate.

In the dance of life, traditions endure,
For the roots run deep, of this they are sure.
Through coaching, they activate the lore,
A legacy passed down, forevermore.

In your gaze, a universe unfolds,
A timeless tale, a love story untold.
Eyes like galaxies, sparkling with grace,
I find eternity in that warm embrace.

Each glance a chapter, a moment divine,
Reflecting a love that continues to shine.
In the depth of your eyes, secrets reside,
An eternity of emotions, nowhere to hide.

I see forever in your eyes, a boundless sea,
Whispers of a future where we are meant to be.
Stars align, painting dreams in the night,
Guided by the constellations of pure delight.

Through laughter and tears, a journey we chart,
In the language of love, eternally smart.
With every look, a promise takes flight,
I see forever in your eyes, my heart’s guiding light.

I really want to do less worrying about unimportant issues of life. I worry too much and I hope this coming year, I will do less of it. 💕

Beneath the veil of darkness cast by life’s harsh hand,
I, a young lady, misunderstood and unmanned.
Never had I glimpsed the sun’s warm embrace,
Trapped in a world devoid of love’s sweet grace.

Never had a whisper of surprise graced my ear,
A life untouched by joy, haunted by fear.
No shocking moments, no excitement to unfold,
In a recount untold, where emptiness takes hold.

Never felt the warmth of love’s tender glow,
A barren heart in a cold, desolate show.
Lonely echoes lingered in the silent night,
A reality of solitude, a perpetual plight.

Through the corridors of time, I tread,
A life unadorned, in shades of somber red.
Never had the chance to dance in delight,
Lost in the shadows, hidden from sight.

Though in the depths of darkness, a spark may ignite,
A flicker of hope in the vast, endless night.
For even in the never-had, a possibility lies,
To rewrite the script, where a new sunrise implies.

Amidst fading twilight, we are together alone,
A candle’s dance, music’s soft tone.
Your head on my shoulder, hair under my care,
Touching your cheek, in your eyes, desire’s flare.

The space between us, a vanishing haze,
Guiding lips together in a tender phase.
Feast of passion, taste of heavenly choir,
Igniting the spark, fueling a passionate fire.

Hands seeking pleasure, heartbeats rise,
Touching your chest, feeling you quiver with sighs.
Whispered words, urgent and dire,
Finding the spark, igniting the fire.

Legs parted, a plea to enter,
Guiding hands, a dance to center.
Slowly, a rhythm, an ancient rhyme,
Building desires to the climax of time.

Moans and cries, hips seeking release,
Orgasmic shivers, sensations increase.
Love erupts, desire’s final attire,
Quenching the fire, fulfilling the pyre.

Flesh to flesh, as the candle flickers,
Two hearts entwined, passion’s elixir.
Sweet perfume lingers, a fragrant mire,
Resting among embers, cooled from the fire.
