hi, am Patrick. I was born in lagos but grew up north, Abuja. I luv the color blue, rock and pop music, and i luv poetry a lot. I kid myself always sayin i 'wrote' my first poem when i gave my first baby cry. Writing has always come naturally and easily, i'm not giving it up for anything. If i wasnt writing poems, i'd probably be doin music.
I will spit your name, Bella
For too long has the taste lingered
The bitter after-taste of our krest affair
Pitch drools on my subdued tongue.
...
Here, where the humming fan is still
and the firmament bulbs dimmed
flies shall over my limp form buzz-
a befitting funeral with no cost.
...
My phone stares back at me
Wonderin within at me, maybe.
I could just reach easily for it
And dial you up in a blink
...
I never meant to Love
But bring your heart to Love
I ever meant to hurt
Your fragile heart that loved.
...
So once again
I sneaked
More than a furtive glance
your way, then the mental art
...
