THE GIST OF OUR MIDST

By Tunde Abdulsalam

Welcome to our midst, our 'Splendid Glee.'
Today your breaths and ours meet with ease like the
breeze and sea that kisses each other with peace.

Welcome to a midst that will make your sorrows plea as
they flee because honey of joy will swim around thee like
a hive of honey bees.

Welcome to a midst where breeze is a gentle wind that
sings. Ding! ding! As its ring rings your sorrows into the
wee winds it flings. Your merriment and delight now
links, making your joy rule like one of our kings...

Welcome to a midst that will hug you like 'a familiar
stranger', looking past your image with its dagger, in a
spactacuz posture to ensure 'you' not been followed by
any danger.

Welcome to a midst of the legendary saga, a midst that
will not scare your presence with it dagger and will not
cost your essence any anger.

Welcome to a midst that will take you far like harp lager,
on a ladder to a 'peak' where your joy will dazzle and
dribble like 'Daniel Agger.'
A peak where your joy will never stagger, rather, it will
stride with 'An Elegant jubilant swagger.

Let It Go!

By Tunde Abdulsalam

You've got to let it go!
even though it hurts your soul
as a whole
and always costs you a Oh!
You've got to let it go!

Even though it melts your heart
and darts your soul
 leaving a hole
that serves as a road
through which your God oh!
Penetrates your soul ,
you've got to let it go!

Even though it wakes you up at night 

making you ignore your snore
like your heart sore
 and your bed is invaded by 

rain, you've got to let it go!

Even though it makes you wonder
 if the moon is still the lantern of the sky 

and all the stars in the sky form the 

pattern of a NO!
You've got to let it go!

Even though it transforms the breeze 

that kisses your skin with ease
 to a gloomy wind that causes your heart heat,

 you've got to let it go

Even though at the face of the mirror, 

with your excessive intake of liquor.
The mirror still reveals your true figure. 

You brake the mirror
and say;
 'I just can't let go!' 

You still have to let it go!

You've got to let is go!,
 it is so
because 

those that you need to let go,
Oh! 

They must GO!
Because they are not part of those poles 

that will upright the 

shelter of your goal.
