A Drunkard's Tears
by Graham Ereks

Half-clad I pittled in the grown-old day,
Body boozed by a gazillion boozes.
I sauntered hither and thither zigzag
My destination I knew not, for my vision
Had been boozed and boozed.

I sauntered scalarly gibbering to my booze;
Oh what a feeling it was!
I came by a canis manacled and together we
Confabulated heart-to-heart.

Love's Eternal Shine
by Graham Ereks

In a garden fair, where blooms unfurl,
Stood she, a vision, grace in every swirl,
Her smile, a sunbeam in the morning's glow, Captured my heart, where love's rivers flow.

Together now, through life's uncertain course, Through joyous highs and tempests' fierce force,
Our love, a bastion, in every stance,
In trials faced, our hearts find true romance.

For life, a tapestry of trials and grace,
Yet hand in hand, we conquer every chase,

Arise Youths
by Graham Ereks

Eight years have come and gone, yet my people still remain blind,
Many a year our leaders shower us with their sugarcoated tongues.
A zillion promises they make now and then, fulfilling none;
Enriching themselves while the poor masses remain indigent.

Poverty in our land has been catapulted, unemployment is now our most High;
A posse of inconsiderate oldies we have as rulers, a bunch of purposeless grandpas.
Need we die before our voices can be heard? Are we even living?
Now and then we pray things be better, but I guess all is but a colossal bummer.

The Art of Love in a World of Disguise
by Graham Ereks

Lasses in learning uniforms,
Lads in barrack uniforms,
Ridiculing the art of love.
Did you think Solomon was a saint?

Jacob in Esau's clothing, Mary in Jezebel's outfit,
How on earth did they even think they'd fit?
I'd journeyed through life's lily
And have seen hell, no willy-nilly

Behind the Stage
by Graham Ereks

My words to a nation, obscure and vague,
The genesis of our pain, the start of a plague.
Why do we live so mini behind the stage?
My country, my nation, my anguish and source of rage!

Musa Yar'Adua started Einstein's equation,
A formula adopted by Goodluck, another man of vision.
The land was tranquil until Amaka decided to boo Harry,
Albeit they tin my Ibu, I still remember the pains I carry!

Rythm of Love
by Graham Ereks

Let me be the cadence that harmonizes your heartbeat,
The gentle breeze that sweeps you off your feet.
Let me be your constant companion, your all-encompassing embrace,
The one who surrounds you with love's tender grace.

Let me be your partner, your confidant, your guiding light,
Together we'll create a love that shines so bright.
Let me be the serenade that fills your evening air,
The aubade that greets you at dawn, and the blues that soothe your soul with care.

Ode to My Beloved Students
by Graham Ereks

In the resplendent halls of Methodist Girls' High, celestial stars are found,
Favour Okpe, my JSS 1 school daughter, shining as the radiant sun, profound.
Edimenere, with her relentless academic prowess, a luminous beacon of light,
Angel Lekiah, a resplendent superstar, a mirror of my childhood's delight.

Gift Eberechukwu in JSS 2, a stunning brainiac of supreme intellect,
Alongside Boma, whose brilliance ascends to the heavens, a paragon of respect.
With seventeen more, each one cherished and stupendous, a joy divine,
Their presence fills my heart with narratives sublime.

Not My Business
by Graham Ereks

Hither and thither he went,
Then southward, and soonest north,
Nonstop cuddled and bussed by the wind,
Inward or outward, all oblivious!

Green snakes in Agbada,
More venomous than the Anaconda,
Bloodsucking demons ubiquitous,
But I bet that's not my business!
