Ilerioluwa (Promise of God)
A name that inspires, admires: writes beautiful lines
Lines that conjure imagery that set the mind free
The women that adore his way with speech
Picture Agnes and the words birthed into life
When he reminisces about becoming a man
Agnes Is truly a woman worthy of accolades
Jefsaraurmax…
A name that commands and demands introspection
Deep thoughts require reflection
Don’t Tell Me not to mourn the loss of a loved one
Life is all about Threading Water and not being swallowed by its storms
Lawore Olufemi
A name, that waxes lyrical
Lucifer’s Poetry is paradoxical
Its impact incontestable
Singing a Song For A Terrorist
They are yet to know they will rot in a timeless abyss.
Esosa a man of justice without conflict
Burning between lines of pride and prejudice
Integrity is his watchword
And Justice For All
With Silent Lucidity and fluidity
He glides effortlessly in and out of justice’s extremities
His muse…most likely a song
Zazu a name that speaks to the heart
With him, everything has class
Precognition requires knowledge
For which he embraces every strand
Who knows better than him the woes
Of burning ones bridges; the throes
Oh he knows
Life is a Birdsong For A Songbird
What’s in a name I ask
Each name resonates and conjures it own imagery
An expectation,
The anticipation of delivery
What a joy it is to have a resounding name
A name that reflects who we are or hope to be.
Hmmm!
Nice. What’s in a name indeed.
@seun-odukoya Thanks. This really was about what each name represents just like @dottaraphels has demystified you below.
Hmmn!
I agree.
I see a post by @raymond, and I know what to expect. But one might still be surprised.
A lot is in a name, but a name is not conclusive.
Thanks @Kaycee. See my response to @seun-odukoya and @dottaraphels response below.
As for @raymond…
Raymond is like a ray of sunshine
Glowing and unpredictable,
Yet predictable in his unpredictability
From running from Children of The Wild *before dem kill am*
To Drop Dead Gorgeous *the Inception of a Bitch*
In The Face of Madness *before he runs mad*
He had to calm himself down.
So I do feel for him.
A name. Is a name.
Nice concept. Fear dey catch U to do for everybody?
P.S. check Ur inbox.
I think the stuff in a name is shown by its owner.
Good question.
What’s in a name indeed…The owner could be known by another and yet would remain same…
Aturmercy could become bright benson…but it wouldn’t change her…
Well done mercy…Love what you did with this…$ß.
Aww….this is so nice, bringing out the unguarded nature in everyone..lol
Yes what’s in a name indeed? @aturmercy I think we all have that feeling in us when we think of a certain place or smell huh? Take the names chosen for this particular piece, I relate each to a different feeling
.Zazu is warm and endearing, Irelioluwa is full of praise and nurturing…resonates hope somehow. Lawore is mystery and surprise…Jefsaraumax, defiance,hope and vibrant.
Definitely will open up a shit load off chaos if every name was included,lol…@bubblly makes me smile, our@Kaycee makes me think about a big bro,he is soft to the core but hides behind a wall of caution.
Mr Odukoya? and they say Chivalry is dead! Raymond…Mr cool himself, @babyada? what you get is what you see, don’t mess with her period,secret softie!
Okay I did go there but you know what I mean eh? Me? I smell dust rising from raindrops and I think about cuddling and nook.
Strong coffee smell and I long for cognac ; Ice cream makes me wanna go to the fair and pop corn reminds me of Elizabeth my baby.
