I
An apple for two!
By heart’s host of daffodils!
Ripe apple’s for two.
II
Share out the apple
Midst heart’s host of daffodils,
Apple comes to two!

for Yemi
There goes my heart…
Where strolls she?
My swell, swell belle.
My heart moves now along
Gentle scent so sweet
Let this frangrance be mine.
No jealous eye or mind prevail
She is mine
O! Mine for aye.
This natural affinity
This rare muse
Now, the misty, powerful wind echoes it
In constant chorus
Joined by joyous tides.
Here comes my heart, my love
My rhythm, my beat, my music
Let me take delight in my piano
I shall play my guitar.
Angelina, there!
See! See that mistletoe… how gorgeous!
Here lies my heart, O Joy!
Dwell here in me
Dwell head to toe
Right here in my bossom
Here lay us both
Here on Lekki Beach.

to: Babylon
When tattered tents turn mole mounds
Clustered huts turn ant-hills
For village path turns mere thicket,
Village path to our Sodom.
My heart, like millstone, sinks;
O this buried, capsized ferry!
To sink! To grope! I’m lost,
This wicked, wasted era!
