Look real deep into my eyes
Say the truth, don't tell me lies
Do you see a boy that cries
or a man waiting to die
do you see the rage that burns
or a heart that's badly torn
can you see the pain i feel
be honest and keep it real
can you see a soul so shy
Or someone that lives for pride
Do you see a heart so cold
or stories that haven't been told
Are there vast secrets that lie
When you look into my eyes?

Deadly Thoughts
You came in the darkness, invaded my space
Now engage the heartless, engulf in my rage
Enhaced in the shadows, the deadliest sage
The beast of the wild broken free from it's cage
Be burned by the hatred till you are no more
Feel the fire eat you right down to the core
Look deep into my eyes and feel the time stop
The doors to your doom, now your dead body drops
Be frozen in timeless death you worthless scum
I feel nothing for you as your corpse does burn
You were doomed from the start, there's nowhere to run
I will be so ruthless with you till I'm done
You stepped in the darkness, now you are my slave
My wrath will smother you, dump you in the grave
My presence, your nightmare, you think suicide
Your screams will be worthless till blood you have cried
You WILL feel my vengeance come down on your corpse
Your soul tormented as your foul body rotts
Your neck in my fist, till your dead eyes face down
You're rotting in pieces six feet in the ground
The next time you see me and my soul's in silence
Don't play with my mode, or you will feel my violence

The Beginning Of The End
The end is the beginning, no the end is not the end
Stop the procastinating, know your friends are not your friends
The life you live is not yours, for you can't stretch out it's span
Forget insecurities, that's part of the devil's plan
Relax your mind, do not stress, see the road that lies ahead
Pray for your soul and others, to be saved before your bed
Free up your mind from evil, depart and run from all sin
Cleanse your soul of all darkness, before the end does begin

Reflection (Phase 2)
I've come a long way from my youth
In search of the eternal truth
Walking the path to the sunset
Not having reached the end just yet
And when i make it to the end
I shall be alone, with no friends
For alone I came, so I'll go
Where that shall be, I do not know
But when i'm gone, know this dear ones
Let us not forget where we're from
Let's not forget those that are gone
Until our time on earth is done
My companion's been a free mind
To help my twisted soul unwind
The short life here is ours to spend
So use it wisely till the end

Welcome To My World
I go for long walks in the park
I love the silence in the dark
Welcome to my world
I could curl up here for days
Change my vibe in many ways
Welcome to my world
I can unleash rythmic data
Watch my power become greater
Welcome to my world
My mind's full of thoughts and ponders
Everything in it's a wonder
Welcome to my world
Let me take you on a journey
There's no place for pride and money
Welcome to my world
We can flow as one together
I can intrique you forever
Welcome to my world

The Verve Bittersweet Symphony live
This song is like the soundtrack to my mindstate when I'm in my zone; to me it's a classic. Enjoy
Needing Someone
I need someone that makes me chill
A genuine soul that keeps it real
With a relaxed vibe when she comes
But can get wild whenever it's on
Someone who can look in my soul
And show me things i didn't know
Who will always be by my side
And bring some peace inside my mind

The Struggle Continues...
We're walking through the windy stormy weather
We battle our way through hard times but we're still together
We're trying so hard, just looking out here for each other
We've got only ourselves, in this world that's getting colder
So day by day we try to maintain through all our troubles
Trying to be good seems like a task, it's such a struggle
And when temptation comes, it's like it comes in doubles
United we stand, we can make it over these hurdles
So many we've lost along the way, still more are going
We're losing our way, don't even know who we're following
We're missing the light in our paths, although it's glowing
Away from our reach, all our chances we are throwing
On all of our sufferings, why does this life get harder
The wind still blows, the weather's not getting milder
Control of our fates, some of us have tried to master
We go on our way, still we're searching for an answer

Thought process
I've had three dreams recently about the world ending.
I've tried to avoid those around, but i can't.
I'm finally getting a bit of that time to be in my zone I once had.
I wish I had peace in my heart, instead of the rage that burns inside sometimes, at the wrong time.
Sometimes people think they know you and judge you, when they can't even start to realise who you really are.
Just the thought process going in my head at this 'post' time.
"Sigh", the struggle continues...

Chantel
To see you trapped in darkness there
In blissful peace, my eyes did stare
And at that point I realised
The beauty missing in your eyes
Your soul taken before the chance
To once more sing, to pray, to dance
Sweet words for you, now nothingness
So beautiful, in your last dress
An early leave from those you love
Missing the one that we adored
The silence, tense, reflects our fear
Our sadness, dense, we shed our tears
A kiss for you, in your last sleep
A timeless slumber, still and deep
Your troubles taken off your chest
Where finally, you lay to rest
For Chantel...
We miss you...Rest in Peace

Losing You
I reach to touch your tender hand
But you are on a distant land
You fade away into the mist
Of memories full of sweet bliss
I go for walks to think of you
Yet still inside i feel so blue
Because the one to whom i'm true
Is far from me, and that is you
I can not love somebody else
If I tried it will be pretence
Because my mind is far away
And all I'd do is walk away
Which direction, north, south, east, west
To lay my broken heart to rest
From all the pain that has been caused
by you being gone, my greatest loss
"Too long i have missed being
Around the one that makes me feel
Like angels when sweet songs they sing
So high, so free, in love, so real"

The Voice
Welcome back, old fried, Duntee
The shadows missed you miserably
Come back into these arms of mine
Once more let me take over your mind
I told you they'd be mean to you
Look at the pain they've put you through
You opened up and let them in
And to your heart they were so mean
Come and relax inside the dark
Get rid of that weakened old heart
its of no use to you no more
For your sadness, I have the cure
Heartlessness is the way to go
To let these ghosts out of your soul
Let me lead, and you follow
The gloomy path's the way to go
The world rejects you, tells you lies
But no one knows you more than I
So come to me, Duntee, and hide
Where your anger and rage resides

Dreams
If I go to bed tonight, then will I meet you in my dreams
If I prayed with all my might, then will you take me to your realm
If I thought of you so hard, then will you somehow appear
Cos everytime I close my eyes, I always wish that you were here
Fate always keeps us far apart, yet somehow inside we're still close
And the world tries to break our hearts, and stop the love inside that flows
Distance comes hard with all it's miles, to sweep away our memories
But we both smile 'cause all the while, your love waits for me in our dreams

Africa
I want to go home to the place where i belong
I want to breathe the air of the land where i'm from
The root of my father's father's father's heritage
I want to refresh my life, start a new page
I want to feel the love that i used to have before
I want to recognize what it is that's in my core
i want to work it's earth, want to be amongst my people
I want to strengthen my soul that has turned feeble
I want to appreciate the things that i have
I want the energy of which i've been long starved
i want to be free with my sisters and my brothers
I want to be united with my long lost mother

For You
When I look into your eyes girl you give me fever
I'm frozen while you explore my mind, body all in shivers
Always in awe of your presence, 'cos you're like a diva
Feels like I'm falling endlessly, 'cos your love gets deeper
Missing moments when I'd catch your eye in the reflection
Unspoken love in need to be expressed through some affection
You rise me from the darkest shadows of pain and depression
Our love in rythm like pure poetry's expression
You turn to heaven all my battles and my hardest struggles
You make me yearn for just a touch, to be safe in your cuddle
In the last hour of life's darkest storm, close to you, I'd huddle
For in your arms i am set free from all of this world's troubles
Without your love, I'm just a man walking through life's pretence
My love for you preserved for you, I shall maintain in silence
Because for now this is the closest I'll ever be to bliss
Unknown to all, for you to know, you are the one I miss

Dawn of the End - Analysis
These are the moments when we huddle together
When we all say that we love each other
Secrets once hidden are now all discovered
Shame of our humility, not facing one another
Yet just yesterday none of us could be bothered
To share all these feelings with our sisters and our brothers
The truth and the matters of the heart we all covered
The love we could share, with hate we all smothered

Dawn of The End
Looking out the window as the wind blows harder
Gazing at the sky as the clouds go darker
Looking down the street, people run helter skelter
In fear of their fates or in fear of the weather?
The sun has taken it's shine from our eyes
Afriad of what's to come, we can feel fear rise
Animals have run, humans seek where to hide
Staring at the heavens, no birds in the sky
This is what we've waited for all days of our lives
The time has come when the dead shall rise
All the loved ones to whom we all said bye
Oblivious to the magnified fear in our eyes
The rain starts pouring and the leaves start flying
The dogs all howling and the flowers all dying
The mothers are weeping and the children are crying
the dead are standing where they once were lying
The force of the hurricanes feel like a warning
of a brewing storm that's yet to be coming
For some reason the world feels like a coffin
Closing in on us, feeling like we're stuffed in
our eyes are all closed praying that it's not real
trying to make bold of the fear that we feel
Facing the reality the due end is dawning
Burning in the light of the one that is coming...
(From a dream I had...)

No More
You keep your thoughts and so will I
Won't share with you secrets I hide
I made a mistake opening up
But now all of those days will stop
Mistakes I made, but I'm no fool
You stress me, but I'll keep my cool
You've had your chances, now they're gone
The days of playing me are done
I may not be the coolest dude
Won't always come across as smooth
But I see through the things you do
And that's why you and I are through
So keep your thoughts and I'll keep mine
Don't worry about me, I'm fine
You'll never know what's in my mind
If you search, darkness's all you'll find

You...
I never thought I'd have somebody like you girl
I always maintain, but you've come into my world
I used to be so cold but now you've made me warm
My heart was full of rage, but you have calmed the storms
Through all the wild and windy weathers
you made sure we stayed together
Said you won't leave me, never
I said we won't be, ever
Each time I try to escape your vibe
Somehow you reach inside my mind
You easily take away my pride
Make me want be by your side

happy...
= lame attempt to catch the sunset from my window...:)I love it when I'm happy and i hate it when i'm sad
And when I do something nice, man i feel glad
That somehow i've contributed to someone's life
I want to keep doing good things while i'm alive
Walking down the street with no aim in my stride
Not minding if pedestrians push me from side to side
Rainy is the weather but there's sunshine in my mind
Looking for ways for me to do something kind
Outside i'm a man but inside i'm a boy
All the things I like are all simply my toys
All the sweet memories from my innocence
Smoothens my vibe and I feel less tense
As I'm walking in the sun of my mind with no worries
At a slow pace, as you can see i'm in no hurry
I steal few moments just to think about good thngs
About positive opportunities life can bring
My mind is care-free, the world is my playground
Enjoying this limited peace that I have found...
Trying To Maintain After a Hard Day's Struggle
Here I am again dwelling in much sin
Wondering where the heck my sanity's been
Taking over my mind are the evil thoughts
Trying to squeeze them out, now my brain's in knots
Thinking about going outside for a stroll
But I just really want to stay alone
Take some time, buy some time to clear my head
Feels like all the innocence in me is dead
When will the sunshine ever come in my life
'Cause it feels like every step is into pain and strife
Why won't these demons ever let me be
When will these inner struggles ever cease
Head in my hand, slow breaths I do release
trying to instill in my world, some peace

Unrequited Love
I really like to be on my own
Makes me feel like I'm at at home
Which i've created in my mind
One may laugh but i don't mind
Sometimes I wonder what it's like
To be in love, I bet it's nice
Does one feel so high like a kite?
Some say the feeling has no price
I wish that i could be with you
Sometimes I wish you'd want me too
I wish you'd want to be with me
The real me inside, not Duntee
It feels so nice to think of you
It brings me up when I feel blue
It makes me need your love so much
It leaves me yearning for your touch
I know you'll never be with me
I know you'll never set me free
Some may come, and some may go
What your love's like, I'll never know...

Where do we go from here...
Where do we go from here...
What do we do when the clouds get dark...
What do we do when the shadows close in...
What do we do when instincts call...
Which way do we go...from here...
What do we do when the clouds get dark...
What do we do when the shadows close in...

Nightingale
Goodnight forever, my nightingale
Your heart has left me thin and frail
Your love has left me very pale
The love we shared is another tale
I meet new friends and i meet new faces
from different backgrounds and different races
all going in their different paces
in different towns and different places
But none of them can ever be
as good as you have been to me
And that's why this poem's specially
written for you, my love, from me.
(this is the first real poem I ever wrote, back in CTC in 1997. Jacqueline Iheme read it out at the 1st school concert.)

in different towns and different places
But none of them can ever be
as good as you have been to me
And that's why this poem's specially
written for you, my love, from me.
(this is the first real poem I ever wrote, back in CTC in 1997. Jacqueline Iheme read it out at the 1st school concert.)

Forgive & Free
To all who've ever hurt me, I forgive
mum, dad, friends, enemies I forgive
all I've ever hurt please forgive
said, done, even thought, please forgive
lets all meet on the otherside
all hold hands and be with smiles
no more hurt, no more sadness
filled with peace, joy and gladness
when I forgive I set me free
from all guilt's chains and boundaries
when you forgive then you are free
and together freely we'll be

Naturally...
I love to dwell in so much peace
on my face blows the calm breeze
hand in hand with whom I love
no tears like rain from above
just be myself just with you
no pretence, just being true
me for you and you for me
bond together naturally
here's a flower just for you
here's a peck I saved for you
here are my arms just for you
here's my love, saved just for you
softest of the softest skins
sweetest of all hearts within
most beautiful soul I've ever seen
your warmth's the best place I've been
free like birds, to fly away
entwined in our love for days
for our love I want to pray
sleep on me is why you'll stay
don't you know you set me free
with you I can just be me
my love is yours, and yours for me
so free in love, so naturally

The Mask...
If you see me with a frown on my face then I'm fronting
So don't be afraid if towards you I'm coming
it's just a little mask I wear to hide my insecurities
Afraid if Iexpose myself then everyone will laugh at me
Hard at me, be hard on me for not being what I'm meant to be
Or what it really is that they really want for me to be
But really all I'll be is me or what it is I'm meant to be
Which isn't what you want for me, 'cos all I want is to be free
Excuse me, brother, I'm only saying what it is
I'm sorry my sister, for times i wasn't there for thee
I was too busy indulging in ignorant bliss
Feeling sorry for myself and dwelling in my self-pity
Witty, some call me, but they don't know what I'm all about
All they do is smile when I'm there, when I turn they pout
Like who the heck this good-for-nothing brother really thinks he is
And so to hide the pain I wear the mask so what I feel, they miss....

Reflection (Phase 1)
Every single day in my life i try to get away
from all the trials and stress that always seem to come my way
I'm always wishing in my heart that I was still younger
but time drifts me from my youth, makes my heart grow fonder
that's due to the absence, the distance makes memories
of the young child and experiences that used to be
spent in the playground with all the little boys and girls
To me, life was just an endless free world
Just thinking about all the friends I had that have passed away
Makes me feel sure there's a reason I am here today
All of those souls long gone, here's a line for you
you'll always have a place in my heart, friends, that is true
Time just flies by, bringing us closer
To the very end where our bodies get colder
Wasting all our time in sin as we get older
like we're not afraid of death, boy we're getting bolder
I look into the mirror and i think to myself, "man,
What if I never get to see this old face again?"
And then i feel the vibe of a cold shiver down my spine
And thoughts about the end of the world start to fill my mind
I think about my brother and my sisters and my mother
I think about my father and my friends and I bother
The thought of them not being around makes me feel down
But then something tells me I should turn my mind around
I guess it's all about what we do in our lives now
I'm praying that we're all good, 'cos we're all going to die somehow...

Remembering CTC...
I like to have moments in my life when i maintain
And when I feel the vibe in my mind, then i get a pen
Let it all out on paper while i represent
The love that I got for a place I'll never forget
I used to dwell in the city called CTC
And if you were there in my time, you'd be feeling me
I'm taking some time out now trying to reminisce
about the rugged years with the trues, those were pure bliss
I remember in the class it was just like a battlefield
but at the same time, we all used to maintain and chill
taking no crap , rebelling against the enemies
All the teachers we didn't like(at least they were to me)
I like to take some time out in life, just to reminisce
about all the guys and girls i know i will surely miss
MO-21-A, Philip, even Rosie,
Uche and the rest were considered like my family
I learnt a lot from everyone, and my memories live on
Scattered in the world, yet not forgetting where we are from...
(Arnold Mozia, Senter Mozia (MO-21-A), Uche Chugbo, Shireen Udenka, Philip, Nadia, Bolaji, Afolabi, Robin, Vivian, Kachi, Ada, Jacqueline & Geraldine Iheme, Bolaji & all)
