Waning Sun

 




Like a waning evening sun, I watch you creep back into your shell,

Dimming your light and pulling together your curtains like an evening show just ended.

But there was no round of applause from you 

No rising ovation 

Or vote of thanks. 


Because it's just you and prolly I (who is hiding outside the door) 

Waiting for you to gift me a glance, 

Just a little turn of your head would have revealed me to you

And maybe you'd find in my eyes, my obsessive love for you. 


And just like it is always been, you don't see me  crushing on you, 

You don't notice me noticing you all day, all night 

You don't notice me preparing my gun to shoot my shot at you. 


And just like a waning evening sun, you wrap it up like an evening show, 

Your face bereft of its usual glow and radiance, 

No shadow of smile tracing your lips, 

Your blue angelic eyes looking like they have set gaze on better things, 


Slowly, you fade into yourself, 

Covering up your heart like a tortoise shell, 

Building tons and tons of barricades against it, 

Guarding it with the gravest looking lock. 


Stay a little while, my queen

Shine a little, my love

I know you are tired of all the games all, 

I know your heart has become wary of men's lies and deceits. 

I know you'd rather be on your own than give another another chance, 


But i beg you my lady, 

Stay a little while and wait for me!!!

A statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande , quotes Osinbajo as saying this while receiving a delegation of Christian Ministers Welfare Initiative also known as the Pastors ’ Forum , Taraba State , at the Presidential Villa , Abuja yesterday. “ This morning, I had a meeting with the President and he repeated to me twice, he said ‘ at my age , there is only one thing I am looking for , I want to see a great Nigeria . ’ He has no other objective and I feel very inspired by that . It is madness for anybody in our position to be looking for money. According to him , God put people in a position of authority for them to be able to do something for their people. I think if any Nigerian gets the chance to be President of the country , there is nothing he / she is looking for anymor...

THE WILDFLOWER MOVIE REVIEW.

  Think of The Wait and how it made you feel. How it brought things you have ever seen, heard of or experienced right to you, that is exactly how you would feel with this movie.  This is a movie that is a must watch if you are a mother, an elder sister, if you are connected to a female one way or the other, this movie is for you. Trust Aunty Biodun Stephen to always give you real life and realistic themes and plots. Hence the plot of this movie is so close to home that I could remember some scenarios. But the movie was dragged at so many points. If you are looking for a movie that would kick you in the punch at once, this is not that movie. This is the movie that you have take your time to go through the prolonged actions and scenes, which was caused by some actors, who unfortunately were key players. Anyway, overall, I'd give it an 8/10. Plot is cool. Directing is cool. Delivery wasn't perfect for a lot to cast, even the top ones. Everyone was just at their relaxed mood, whic...
