<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Symphony of Souls</h2>



<pre class="wp-block-verse">My heart, a hallowed sanctuary,
Where love's frankincense softly burns
A sonnet, melodious and teeming,
A famished soul reborn in bliss

The solemn breeze whispers your name,
The sun smiles, flowers wet in fantasy 
And as my heart beats, it's a soft, tender caress against yours,
A symphony of souls in a timeless, wordless dance.

In a field blooming with colourful roses,
Where the air breathes the aroma of sweet emotions
Your resplendent beauty, a radiant sun,
Calls the heaven to bear witness to a beautiful prose

I have been baptised with the fragrance of your soul,
Like wildflowers kissed by dawn's first light
As I paint your heart with the imageries of my name,
Colours blend, like a passionate sunset's flame

Watch my shadows dance behind you, Ademola,
Like playful echoes, mimicking your steps
When the sky dons its cloak and the wind, a murmuring poet,
Watch my arms unfurl like a golden canopy.
</pre>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When My Breath No Longer Whispers </h2>



<pre class="wp-block-verse">I'm but a wraith living in a fleeting dream,
A spirit dwelling in an ethereal home
Tomorrow, when my breath no longer whispers
Do not applaud me with sympathy 

Here I am, treading a transient path, 
Catwalking in the footprints of my ancestors, 
Yet, at dawn, I may disappear into the oblivion
Returning home in the clutches of sleep

Do not label me a child when I've lived in a century of adventure,
Reincarnating to savour memories in a kaleidoscope of hues
I once languished in the shadows of obscurity,
Until I glimpsed death, adorned in its most chilling costume

Tomorrow, I may vanish like the morning mist,
Which gracefully dissipates beneath the caress of sun's smile
So, when I find my room beneath the earth’s embrace
Do not afflict your eyes with desolate tears

Instead, let the fragrance of love permeate the air,
While we linger, weaving our fleeting moments into the tapestry of time
For tomorrow, when my breath no longer whispers.
</pre>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Requiem for Riches </h2>



<pre class="wp-block-verse">Money is a delicacy, a satiable craving,
A cube of sugar amidst teeming ants, 
nibbled relentlessly,
Until the cube stands bare like a tasteless sweet

Money is an exquisite gallery, 
Decorated with alluring images, 
Each art is a masterpiece, a cradled pearl 
Until its beauty is gently woven into antiquity

Here, a poor man is a barren wasteland, 
A radiant visage marred by the harsh hand of fate
His path is kissed by the benedictions of vengeful gods 
And blessings, woven with graceful thorns

But a rich man, like a crowned monarch,
 Gleams with the resplendence of a thousand suns,
 And his fortune cascading like a waterfall of gold
Enchanting all who bask in its radiant glow

Money, a fleeting mirage, a shimmering illusion 
Dances happily like a wisp of smoke,
Yet wealth, a benevolent angel, 
Humbles like a timeless cloak

Do not run after money like a fool chases the wind, 
While his breath labours and his strength wanes, 
Then returns home with a bundle of emptiness, 
Like a traveller who carries shadows in a bottomless sack
</pre>
