My Definition of Love

Love is like a bond song
played into the ears of
Two Fools
Fools wise enough
To understand the meaning of
For Better For Worse

Heart Binder

If your heart is presented to me
I will love it like a golden egg
That deserves not to be broken
And kiss it
In the peak of the need
and when it least necessary
So that when am missing
Or no longer in the scene
You will forever miss me

Your Superman

I saw you lost
In the Whirl wind
Of finding Him
You have been tossed
Like football
By players outside the pitch
So like a dedicated fan
I wore an ‘S’
On my Chest
Being ready to be that Superman
To fight the raving wind
To take the any extra risk
Just to give you what you need
You deserve ‘Him’
Me!

Wise Sent Love

If live is all about Love
I wonder why we are afraid
To Love
To Trust
To close our eyes and take a swift dive
Into the deep blue sea of life feeling so insecure
But knowing one joy
To find something pure
A long lasting treasure
Our Love
That will never
Experience scarcity or expire
When we spend it on each other

Love Shareware

Tell me where to put
This lovely feeling of
Love
When everyone wants to share
the good times
but no one want to be there
During bad times

Now considering the blessing
Enjoyed by Trees
of different seeds
The harmony and beauty
Of their leaves pairing into leaves
Though they contend for
The riches of the soil
It remains that when the bush burns
Or rain refuses to fall
In that same harmony
They share consequences

Unexpressed

Many Heart unexpressed
Like so much Gifted
People already laid to rest
Now everywhere
Is a life lived in mess
Since all creativity request
Is captured in a no-purpose chest
Yet we must dispose our Covetousness
Like Dirt
And tame our Madness
Even when we loose ones dearest
Friend
(personally if she has gone, good riddance)

Must Be Blown

The day I
I let loose my emotions
Is the day I fear no ruins
Be her insulting
Or Big Shots Calling
I simply play them
The tune that suits
The rhythm of a Kongo that
Must be blown

True Sacrifice

My life is empty
It seriously lack good or bad
And where standeth I
Is of no sweetness or pride
So I and I
Shall Arise
To do much Sacrifice
To those that
Call my Efforts
Little Again
For dey know not
How much love compels
And empowers me
Above their Discouragements

No more drooling

No more drooling
in my yesterdays withered inspirations
That lives me in stagnant waters
For now
I must look up 2 the mountain
That brings forth spring waters
Gushing like violent waterfalls
Yet with an encompassed gentleness
hoist me up 2 peak of the mountain

Legendary

Who will listen to me
For I know not of What
I am about to say
Yet I will say these revelations
To the ears
That will memorize them
Bind them to their souls and write them on the walls of their heart Knowing that we be many poets
All who knows the feeling
Yet can't do the real thing

For in these words
I am Legend
