*SWEET AND PAIN* - FATIMA MUHAMMAD SANI

*SWEET AND PAIN* 

So sweet,sweeter than a candy

Makes you happy and lovable like a teddy 

To fly in the sky and live,you're ready

Breeze of love blowing the heart,so cool and windy

 With a dream that sets the soul on fire

Sending electricity through the body without a wire

Singing a song,so romantic that only you can hear

With all hope,love,sacrifice and care 

Blessing you with the wildest and craziest imaginations that the mind can't bear

A feeling so sweet yet bitter,

Bitter when the feelings are ignored

With every bit of love,you wanted them to be honoured 

The darkness of life appears without an invitation 

Ruining the soul with hatred and desperation 

Destroying all dreams and creating an undefined fear 

A factory of pain and tears 

Where sleep has no place to live and reality becomes hard to handle

Smile and laughter became memories 

Being a prisoner of your mind and heart,

Lost in the forest of your fears 

Love,a feeling so sweet and painful 

FATIMA MUHAMMAD SANI 

THE MAGNIFICENT TREE - ZMM

THE MAGNIFICENT TREE

In praise of a mighty tree i pen,
Planted with different seedlings,
In a lovely fertile garden,
And the seeds started yielding,

Bearing varieties of fruits,
And having numerous branching roots.
By colonial masters it was catered,
Which made most of it fruits to become shattered,

And regained was its freedom,
By great men of piety.
Again its flowers and fruit began to blossom,
In peace and unity.

The tree then become famous,
After being populous,
And thus it prospered.

To a greater height it was taken,
After a moment of reawakening,
A transition to a new dawn commenced,
And provisions for the future were made.

People with different ethics and culture,
Sharing the same spirit,
Loving each other without much torture,

Although there were some pests,
Whom attacked the fruits,
Tried to destroy the yields,
And prevent further blossom in peace,
Luckliy,combated they were,
And restored was peace again.

A nation with ample mineral resources,
Variety of languages,
Ravishing and elegant attires,
And of course tasty dishes,
What a gratified heritage!
Nigeria,a majestic,magnificent tree.

POETRY TALENT - KHAMEES A.H

For some dusks and dawns
My quill rejects the scroll.
Despite the will to pen a sea,
The mind refused to sell a pint.

And the day is today;
To celebrate the new rays,
The silhouettes of our future days,
The mesmerizing bards,
whose hearts silkily prints golden words
That inspire minds to respire
Freely from the pit of despair.

Every so often the night deserts the day
Or the day welcomes the night,
I await your arts in total awe
To bask in and relieve my pines.

Plethora of gracias
To those gravid minds
Who defied gravic lines
To deliver their creativity on 'creative minds'.
