BEAUTIFULLY BLACK!

There is a certain confidence and firmness to the way she walks,
A unique radiance and brightness to her smiles,
And a soothing softness and sweetness to the way she talks,
Her figure is conspicuous, her beauty unrivalled, and her appearance sets up joy in my heart in piles,
Yet in the midst of these, one thing stands out in her personality,
The very reason I'm forever enchanted with her entity;
It's the beauty of her skin, and the originality of its blackness,
Her black is beautiful, but I think she's Beautifully Black!

THERE IS NO DISTANCE...

You know when I first met you,
I felt like my past merged with my present and sutured with my future,
And met in your nature,
'Cos I realized you were all I needed, all I need, and all I'll ever need,
So I wasn't hesitant to heed, and let you take the lead,
In you I saw my destiny,
And I was sure our love will last for eternity,
Now, every time I hear your voice over the airwaves,
Ripples across my heart are sent; it feels like love-waves,
So, though we're miles apart,
I know our hearts cannot be torn apart,
'Cos between our hearts, there is no distance...

THE PAST

We can about it remain cool,
And for the betterment of the future use it as a tool,
Or for life brood over it, and languish in depression,
Or shove it off and be in continual progression,

Its mistakes,
By heroes past have been used to raise the stakes,
But by cowards have been used as part of excuses,
To remain recluses,

About it, exists a fact,
That for centuries have remained intact;
It can never be rolled into the present,
But as we journey through life, situations crop up to which it is reminiscent,
Then we become well-equipped to make such success-scented,

It can be turned into a success story,
Which breeds glory,
Or a stumbling block,
Which in stagnation, turns us round life's clock...

What would you do with your past?

THE BREAK OF DAWN

At cock crow it begins,
With sunrise each morning, it starts up,
And the beginning of a new day, it marks,

The sorrows of yesterday, it drowns,
The travails of the past it washes off,
And the problems of yesterday it erases,

Into our world, the light of hope it beams,
Our hearts with rays of joy it floods,
And the traces of misery, it shines out,

Down we may have been,
But the break of dawn, it is,
To try again, an opportunity it presents us with,
That we may defeat-borne pains jettison,
The waters of victory drink,
And the music of triumph dance to.

LIFE!

What is life?
If it is to be lived in vain,
Without profitable pain,
If it is to be lived in vanity,
Without a certain destiny,
If it is to be lived in disgrace,
Even with the availability of abundant grace,
If it is to be lived purposelessly,
When thousands are lying helplessly,

Of what use are riches,
If they should be used selfishly,
While souls perish in poverty,
If they should be lavished on prostitutes,
While the streets are filled with the destitutes,
If they should be invested in selfish gain,
While the poor suffer in untold pain,
If they should be expended on those who with contempt regard it,
While many grope in stark illiteracy...Think about it!

DEEP WITHIN

Deep within lies the seed of greatness,
Not on the hills we lay hold or across the skies we mope,
Deep within lies the warrior's strength,
Not on the arms we rely,
Deep within lies the origin of true love,
Not in the pretense we show,

Deep within lies the art of friendship,
Not in the company we keep,
Deep within lies the essence of beauty,
Not on the artificiality we emphasize,
Indeed deep within lies life's treasures,
Not in the wealth we strive for,
Of a truth deep within lies the purpose of human existence.

MARRIAGE

It transcends the borders of sex, maternity and paternity,
For it is an institution to be regarded with sanctity,

It goes beyond answering to someone's name as a wife,
But refusing to take responsibility when it's challenges confront your life,

It is not limited to weddings and celebrations, no matter how,
But has its threshold on keeping to the marriage vows, no matter how,

It does not terminate in the payment of dowry and bride price,
But in the willingness to pay the price for its benefits and prize, it lies,

It is not determined by making and raisng progeny,
But doing that with a policy to leave a legacy is of utmost exigency,

In all, marriage is not only for two,
Like a dual carriage, or meal for two like a sweet porridge,
But a family vessel carrying all along with it!

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE! II

When we began this journey,
The critics thought I was in for a mistake,
But I wasn't bothered, you are now my honey,
And in your treasure, would I always partake,
With you and on you would I build and spend my wealth and money,
And if I was given another chance, I wouldn't give this love a retake,
'Cos I love you just the way you are,

People say you past is horrible,
But I say your past and my past brought our present together,
So I ignored their ignorance, for I wasn't gullible,
They said we don't belong together,
But I say, 'to me, her life and love would always be palatable'
So baby please don't listen to their chatters, our love was meant forever,
For I love you just the way you are!

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!

Before I met you, I had seen and loved many beauties,
But after you my right to love again was taken away,
Because in you I found my true entity,
To love another I cannot, so with you I'll forever stay,
And honey, I do not mind people's thoughts of your identity,
I would cherish you till my dying day,
For I love you just the way you are,

How can I perfect the beauty of your personality?
The almighty made you in perfection,
And why would any one seek to dissolve our unity?
I never said I was seeking the purest in my selection,
All I ever wanted was one whose fallibility would be my ability,
So baby pay no attention to people's perception,
For I love you just the way you are,

I WISH THE FEELING WAS MUTUAL...

In utter admiration do I look at you,
In absolute respect do I hold you,
With intense love do I watch you walk bye each day,
Yet hoping that moment would one day be born, when I shall finally say,
How much I really feel for you,
And how much I truly want to be bye you,
I know my love for you is real and true,
I am sure this passion welling up on my inside is genuine and due,
I am convinced the time is right, so I'll let it out,
I am no longer going to hold back and sit tight, so I'll pour it out,
I know my love for you is real and true,
I am sure this passion welling up on my inside is just for you,
But what I do not know is if you feel the same way,
The question on my heart is, 'would you accept this love and let it stay?'
For in the midst of this passion and within this affection, after all is said and done,
I hope you would prove to be the rigt one,
So there remains within me a ravaging desire,
There lurks within me a passion like fire,
Baby, here is my doubt, here is my concern, here is my fear, and it is factual,
That you feel the same way,
That you would accept this love and let it stay,
That this love I feel for you, and this passion I have for you is mutual.
