The meeting of an elephant
Takes place in the deep forest
Meeting with a buffalo
Takes place in the jungle
The plumage of the peacock
Is rare among other birds
Dare you are irreplaceable
You left a void in our hearts
Oludare Olusola Lawrence
Son of Odesola
No one knew you would take the journey
Suddenly we heard you’ve left
Gone too soon to your eternal home
May you find the rest we’re all looking for
Not too long after you
Ibrahim Akinyele also took off
Hoping departed people do see
I wish you two happy deliberations
As we used to do together here in the club
You were both past Presidents of GPC
Your good works are living testimonies
Of your valuable contributions to humanity
Live on Dare and Ibro
Till the rest of us join you in the sky

Shadows of Dusk
In shadows of dusk
light wanes like a flickering candle.
Breezes ripple across the water,
wave upon wave
gently
by Tom Mcmurray
I rest my head upon her ripened breast,
In awe of every tender, taken breath.
Too long consumed by vanity's rapport,
Between
A child of three as lovely as she could be
With golden hair and green eyes so rare
Who could hold a smile for quite awhile
