Comment on AFRICAN LITERATURE by Adam Roper

Very interesting. North America has, largely, lost it’s passion for storytelling, what with mass media sources available to pass on information. It’s really a tragic loss.

Comment on LITERARY CIRCLE by beibee

when i was in school – the polytechnic, ibadan; and my room-mate and i were championing the culture of poetry on campus [we set up a body called "society of campus poets"], we approached the esteemed man to come give an inaugural lecture. incidentally, he was due to travel abroad.

he is such a homely person; erudite and simple.

just one experience with him i felt super!

Professor Niyi Osundare is a literary phenomenon of global significance. His sustained interest in poetry for over three decades is indicative of his commitment, not only to literature and scholarship, but also to his motherland. He is my hero, any time, any day. He humbled me in a way in 2008 when he honoured my invitation to come to Redeemer’s University, Mowe, Nigeria for a poetry session. Though based in the US,he is not far from his home country.

Comment on BE. BREATHE. BELIEVE. BLOOM. by beibee

beibee — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 17:01:37 +0000

no asking to go
except to keep the flow
and fan the embers to glow
to ask to go will be a big blow
attend to me still my musing mistress
even if in lyrical lines i don’t impress
am sure you’ll not leave me helpless

i hear the tick tock tick tock too
when the spiral of silence overreaches
our chirping choruses and sing-songs
i hear time mock us in silence
when your wings are too far away for me
to hear their mellifluous whispers

but time belongs to us where we leave
we shall come back to strike that chord
in our hearts that chimes so deeply and passionately
we shall beat the drum of our hearts that reaches
the depth of our soul, shaking and heaving

from you i cannot stray
unless me you leave to go away
but from your words
you are here to stay
we are then to begin a renewed dance
passion and songs

breathe into it…

Hi and thanks for being
Endlessy words weaving
Loving and kind it’s true
Living life and seeing it through
Oh Beibee you just do

What do i do to you?

Is it that i breathe life into you
My kisses fuel you and nurture
Fill your lungs with air anew
Bring out feelings most mature

I could not break our flow
I cannot breathe alone
I realised a long time ago
You thrill me to the bone

Time stands still when you’re not here
Suspended until your return
The tick and tock i can still hear
As sure as the world turns

I will only free you from my wings
If you ask to be let go
Like a bird i can only sing
In our duet it’s so

In dreams and wake it’s still the same
Two hearts that beat as one
No regular beat until you came
You are my air, my world, my sun

Basking in the warmth of your rays
Feeds my soul and heats my skin
I could not begin to stray
From you, we are about to begin…

you’ll let me go
do you mean you’ll end this flow
why harbour this thought so hollow
my songs and beats may come so slow
but with you in the depth of my heart
i shall still hold on

if time skips on our togetherness
and we seem asunder in a wilderness
you are still one and same in my wakefulness
even in the dreams you walk on the shores
of my heart and you give me the uncanny powers
to breathe to bloom and to glow in your halo

do you know what you do to me…

My wings surround you never to part
I’m keeping you here, close to my heart
Feel the thunderous beating within
Burn our flesh skin to skin
Do you feel smothered needing to breathe
Do you wish to escape me, to leave
If the beat is too heavy it stifles your flow
Just whisper it and i’ll let you go…

astounding earthangel! very much.
thank you…

Enchanting your comment is
Around me you swing your wings
Reconstructing my world my words
Tell will you remain my guardian angel?
Here you are lifting me with your wings
Answer my clarion call for more songs
Never pause keep the rhythm and its flow
Grease me the glow of your haloed head
Enter the ben of my heart and together let’s
Listen to the serenade our hearts each sings

Be. I cannot be wihout Beibee
Breathe. You are the air i breathe
Believe. I believe in you.
Bloom. We have blossomed together to create a beautiful bloom.

You are the air that i breathe
Without you i’d not be
Together i believe
We grow and bloom

you’re very right.
i’ve got a lot of such experiences.

like my father would say then:

“hunger does not kill; stop complaining!”

but hunger can kill!

I remember those undergraduate years there was a time i had to share a small loaf of bread and a bottle of fanta with a friend.We could have gone to our families for help but we wanted to tough it out.Any time i remember it i always laugh,those days made me who i am today.So you see i know the depth of this poem.
