Phew January
Boom December
Life's going remember
Whether we play dull or clever
We won't be here forever
Is better left a good legacy
Reaffirming the prophecy
Keeps pushing with tenacity

When I saw his light shining forth. In fear I covered my eyes with my palms. Afraid for my sight because of the beauty of his form. So I was scarcely able to look at him at all. The lights from his light are drowned in his light. And his faces shines out like the sun and moon in one.
A spirit of light lodged in a body like the moon, a mantle made up of brilliant shining stars. I bore it until I could bear it no longer. I found the taste of patience to be like bitter aloes. I could find no remedy to bring me relief other than delighting in the sight of the one I love. Even if he had not brought any clear signs with him, the sight of him would dispense with the need for them. Muhammad is a human being but not like other human beings. Rather he is a flawless diamond and the rest of mankind is just stones. Blessings be on him so that perhaps Allah may have mercy on us, on that burning Day when the Fire is roaring forth its sparks.

A union of diverse ethnic and socioeconomic strangers
United by destiny via Jamb or Direct Entry
Glue and tight through day-to-day interactions
Are about to separate, some temporal, others forever
We are part and parcel of one another as per as we are on earth
May our good memories last, and our enmity dies
May our grade rise to the great height
May we unfold the goodness of after graduation
Best of luck to the class of 2021

Annual poetic addendum
Tick tock tick tock
The sound of a wall clock
Ticking and taking away time
Clicking & linking us with future
Year full of success and failure
Pool of leisure if we are to measure
Sad memories and pressure
Yet we survive it with endurance
The shadow of a new dispensation is ⏳

7th stanzas of poem
In the pinnacle of youth
Propel with peers achievement
Life's is full of regale
Never situated yourself in one pit
Nor traduce past ties
Melancholy and be self healer
Train in terrain while trend

"𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘

This is not fiction
Neither an imagination
Deep down we all shall go
In joy or with sorrow
Six feet down below
Take it or leave it
That's the reality

Listen to me
Know this and know peace
My mansions and your luxuries
Are vanity
Listen!
I won't pet you with deceit
Take it or leave it
That's the reality

My sweetheart
I owe you my heart
So I won't leave you in the dark
Even though you're my life
I need to remind you of end time
Take it or leave it
That's the reality"

Her heart never had a chance to fight,
For her demons destroyed the light
That he was certain, would let him in
And allow his true love for her, to win.

They had a connection like no other,
But love never brought them together,
So don’t believe, fairy tales, come true,
As once upon a time, can end in blue,
Just as it so happened, too these two.

C. Raynard

The battle of her own mind and heart,
Made his true love for her depart,
For he had known he met his match
And her heart, he was unable to catch.

He finally had to give up on trying,
For it was killing him to keep prying,
So he figured if he just walked away
That maybe she would ask him to stay.

It went back and forth for a while;
She made him cry, she made him smile.
What they had was one of a kind
But demons over powered her mind.

A FAIRY TALE ENDING

1

Once upon a time a love came her way
But she was afraid to allow him to stay,
So she decided she had to let him go
Because she didn’t want love to grow.

She believed true love was only a myth,
For no one ever showed her loves gift,
But he just couldn’t pull himself away,
For he believed there was another way.

Her heart was surrounded by a wall
That he was determined to make fall,
But her demons became too strong
And wouldn't let love in her belong.
