Black orchid

October 29, 2019October 29, 2019Olabanji AyoolaLeave a Comment on Black orchid

By Malcolm Little Black A little smile and hearty laughter Make the earth spin faster, On its orbit powered by love, A pretty orchid viewed from above… A little kindness laced with grin, And empathy claims the win, A touch of goodness heals A broken heart better than pills… The varied notes of peace, Bring […]

A living prayer

October 27, 2019October 27, 2019Olabanji AyoolaLeave a Comment on A living prayer

By Malcolm Little Black Just take a keenly look at the Sun, And dare to savour her naked intentions, She desires only a light filled world, With her being she makes the confession… And same can be said of the Moon, And the prettifying errands she runs, Amid the struggle with the darkness, She reflects […]

My Child – 2

October 24, 2019October 24, 2019Olabanji AyoolaLeave a Comment on My Child – 2

By Malcolm Little Black Live, laugh, love fully, my precious child, For life is a gift not measured in ounce, But in bits and flits of colourful moments, A house of bricks tinted with lofty memories… Should I become the plum plucked in its prime, Or a daisy bloom harvested before her time, In the […]

Reincarnation

October 21, 2019October 21, 2019Olabanji AyoolaLeave a Comment on Reincarnation

By Malcolm Little Black Twist and turn as you wish, and would like, Both the atheist and the theist alike. Your opinions are deflated before the Laws, As would your strength, wit and your flaws… From ages to ages with the flaming Sword, The Wisdom of the Lord rules the world; In what you love […]

Desert cactus

October 21, 2019October 21, 2019Olabanji AyoolaLeave a Comment on Desert cactus

By Malcolm Little Black Alone in this sapping wilderness, Solitary, quietude and unperturbed. A grain of sand drowned by the ocean Reflects how tiny my hope can be.. On this endless spiral journey of life Only the shrewd and the tact shall survive; A nugget tucked into my gigot sleeve, The ancient wisdom that grows […]

As pure as a child

October 21, 2019October 21, 2019Olabanji AyoolaLeave a Comment on As pure as a child

By Malcolm Little Black To be grown is not the same as to be owned By avarice and the likes, and all that they cloned. To be carefree is not the same as running wild, A few lesson we can learn from an unspoiled child.. There is no shame in letting out few tear drops […]

What do you seek?

October 12, 2019October 12, 2019Olabanji AyoolaLeave a Comment on What do you seek?

By Malcolm Little Black A life of comfort, Free from difficulty and struggle? The seed that sprouts with ease, Without pain and much trouble? Life of material opulence, Marred by spiritual poverty? A life free from wants, Devoid of growth and liberty? The undiluted Truth, Or the sweetened lie? The true Bread of life, Or […]

Sotto voce

October 12, 2019October 12, 2019Olabanji AyoolaLeave a Comment on Sotto voce

By Malcolm Little Black A hate free world is achievable, So also the love that knows no border; And the jewel inside the boogeyman’s sack, Beckons to the brave, and the bold at heart… To love and be loved, Are life’s most underestimated treasures; Same as the river of kindness, Flowing unrecognised by human blindness… […]

To be… 2

October 12, 2019October 12, 2019Olabanji AyoolaLeave a Comment on To be… 2

By Malcolm Little Black Be like the rain, And fall on every roof Be like the sun That light up the earth.. Be like the pipit Sing for the benefit of all And be like the meadow Spreading beauty all around you… As unperturbed as the morning dew Nesting on every flower Be loving and […]

Meditation

October 12, 2019October 12, 2019Olabanji AyoolaLeave a Comment on Meditation

By Malcolm Little Black Alone in this solemn wilderness Where time is the only friend; Drowning in the well of the mind And death not so dreadful like a dead-end… In this place of solitude In this secret sanctum; Thoughts grow wings Wishes travel on chariot… Where tongue is incarcerated There Words are made sacred; […]
