Hosana Eloi...

for the air i breathe, Hosanah Eloi.....
fo the foods i eat, Hosanah Eloi..
fo the beauty i see, Hosanah Eloi...
fo the daily trials and upheavals, Hosanah...

fo the sweats and toils,
fo the laughs and lacks,
fo the draughts and blacks,
Hosanah Eloi!

LIFE'S 2 SHORT- ADEGOKE AJISEBUTU *RIP*

Today, Eyitayo dropped it on me
"Sxxx, have you heard that Goke's dead?"
Stunned disbelief moment, then prompt recovery
Then I managed to utter; 'Iro ni"
"Its true, Oloun, and hes been buried sef."
Shock, disbelief, shock and disbelief
I dialled Wunmi's phone number
Cos shes the closest to your house
"Its sad o, Sxxxx, but its true."
Byes-byes said, I stared blankly into space
I tried to fight off the formidable panics that set in...

And I tried to recall our last conversation
You only nodded at me, meaningfully
But your bespectacled eyes spoke volumes
It was Eyitayo's big-sis's nuptials
You were funny, witty and profane
(Your admirable traits I envy till now)
Everyone was wiping laughter-tears
Off their eyes when I came in
You suddenly clammed up, and I smiled
You smiled back and nodded at me
Some girl grabbed your arm and led you away
Thats was all...

But I could remember your fine blue tux-shirt
As well as your funny-looking glasses
Your bushy, black Afro-hairstyle
Your leather loafers and village-teacher trousers

So today, am travelling back in time
From the first time Deby introduced u to me
It was in '96, when we were both high-schoolers
Your mum's shop at Fola-Agoro, bread palace
We took to each other, like duck and water
You thrilled me so much, I returned alone next day...

The years rolled by, intermittent breaks now and then
Then we both sought admissions to Uni Ibadan
You didnt make it, but it didnt mar your spirit
And oh, your such a spirited one, aren't you?
The years rolled on, you finally made UniLag
You told me the course was 'Physiology' or something
All these mattered none now, I go on...

We met here and there, we caught up on lost times
You always plan ahead, never lose your head
Always beefing your Angus School Vice Principal aunt
You always thrill me by your ready-anecdotes
You always made Sunday-school headlines
Never missed a chance to entertain your frenz
Funny though, bcos I realised what you stood for
And what you tried to mean to each of us;

Eyitee, Wunmi, Deby, Boby, Agba and I
Each has his/her own version of you
But this is how I would NOT remember you by;

1. The unlucky SSCE holder that worked at a Law firm he hated so much
2. The big-mouth that never respected Ethics and Modesty
3. The flirt who never had a girlfriend known to us
4. The smooth-talker who hated his VP aunt, and loved his dad
5. The lousy amoral who loved and favoured profanity
6. And the friend who was never close to no one especially.

See, this is my honest version of you, Goke;

1. The tall, dark, handsome smartie that once advised me;
" Catch your trips everyday, Shege men... cos Life's 2 Short!"

Rest peacefully at last, friend.
We love you, but... you know the rest!

Adieu, Adegoke Ajisebutu.

ANGELIC Michelle Renee

I met someone some weeks back thru my childhood frend and today am convinced finally I had to put this up for y'all to know whats happening in my world rite now;

# ever met someone for some few weeks and the next thing u felt was Thunderbolt and Lightning and in the depth of your gut are butterflies and wonderful mushies for that complete new stranger thats speeding up to be the next best thing in your life everyday?

# ever wondered where someone you just met have been hiding all your growing up years when u eventually found them out either by serendipity or otherwise and each new moments urged you to keep wondering how you have been surviving so far prior to their emergence into your life?

# ever been thru so much relationships with so many sexes that you were on the verge of emotional moribund when suddenly..... thence came someone 'special' and 'unlike the rest' that completely rocks your world and saved u from emotional extinction?

# ever felt this gut-deep connection with someone new on this deeper-than-nigerian-well spiritual and emotional levels and you just cudnt wait till the next time u had the time and space to talk and be together again... and everytime u say goodbyes to each other, ur heart shrinks and u just want the long nights to roll off and u love every waking morning?

# ever had to be up all thru d night just cos u cudnt sleep and ur head were filled with fantstic and crazy loving thoughts of this special someone u met not quite more than a month?.. and being the dont-fall-in-love-easily, die-hard, emotionally-rocky type?

ever been there, done that, and felt so lonely around people all about you that your quite sure you were gonna die lonely and alone until u met someone entirely like yourself too, whos been there, done that too on some similar planes that you knew right there and then that that special someone couldnt be any other thing than a super-human, which we all refer to as an Angel?

ever met this special, loving, understanding, mature, super-mom called Chelle?

wow...am so happy at last!...am so happy i feel like flying....yikes...
heres to u, Ursulla. luv u ddddeeeeepppp.
and heres to steven, BUZZZZ!!.. i know thats gonna make u smile. be good baby.

am outtie.
