SOPHOCLES

Didn't bargain for this Every day the stakes increase Shut up, get lost, whatever Words have no power to hurt It's all in the venom of the speaker Awake throughout the night Grunts, frowns and sighs Like a gunshot wound in the thigh Stuck to a spot Can any place be hotter than the pot? Oh... The fire. After the storm Comes sunshine #SOPHOCLES

Not all that glitters is gold You are definitely worth more than that, bold and beautiful, innocent and clean. no one could stand you in any way. No competition, no rival psychedelic beats in my head thinking about you makes my heartbeat erratic thum dum thum dum beats my heart Tap dancing to invincible song the breeze sings of my love for you.

Consuming all in it’s path Sprinting around with energy abound Shapeless like an ameoba Burning twigs, hides, fur and skin Destroying everything it touches Licking the ground clean Insatiable, more victims it want Leaving desolation in it’s wake Making landlord homeless And the homeless hopeless Fiery body of destruction Grey, colourless and white ashes Marking it’s trail Melting iron And boiling steel The great fire consumes all And spare none. I seek refuge in the Lord From the evils of the fire.

The great hunter that hunts Ajanaku Fearless in the face of the great beast But there will be only one victor the day he ventures against Iku The great hunter that turns Ajanaku to a pile of bones Would be reduced to nothing In the face of the Angel of Death The knowledge of the future is unknown Nay! says the soothsayer I predicted the death of the beast slayer! If he truly had the knowledge of the unknown He should have been able to evade Iku But there is no denying the inevitable All men must die No one will be left alive.

YOU All i can see is you Even with my eyes closed Nothing i wouldn’t do To forever be with you In the face of danger The solution i seek is you if you had a dozen doppelgangers i will still choose to forever be with you stong like steel love is blind, but still i feel the link between you and  me together forever

Talented you are she says smitten by her, smiling without grace in blue she’s dazzling i have no idea what i was missing until i saw her enshrouded in cream suddenly comes to life, as in my dream my lovely beauty of substantial melanin thinking about you floods my blood with adrenaline smile laugh i am happy with you would you stay with me till the last breathe?

In a parallel universe You will be the little princess And I'll be your knight in shining armour You can be rude in excess I'll defend you, your shield, your armour In a parallel universe You will be the sleeping beauty And I'll give you true love kiss Whoever that entity is meant to be In a parallel universe You'll be the goddess, Oya Although I won't plait my hair But I'll be your Sango, striking thunder Smoking hot and irrevocably seeking love In a parallel universe You'll be the yin to my yang And I'll be the yang to your yin I'll be your Frank Zhang And you, my Hazel Lévesque But in this universe You're mine And I'm yours That's enough for us #SOPHOCLES #Diamond_series_01

Eleven I wished I've known you since I was eleven Then I'd have known you for eleven years Eleven years you'd have been my love Eleven plus eleven makes it even Eleven years of you my dear. Eleven Born in the eleventh month November never came earlier I only know a month better March, July or August I leave the rest to you, decipher Ten plus one holds no meaning But eleven as a whole means everything Queens are born in November Not January nor October I've seen stranger things And eleven beats them all.

During tears and wears, I'll be with you No mixed feeling, not unlike morning dew Just know I'm yours. High or low. I'll write you a love song, ink deepest blue Describing you from head to toe My pen running around the pages, covered in hue Any iota of doubt, weed it out All lumps of distrust, lemme get a plough These feelings of love, irrigate it Your trust in me, let's fertilize it I want to harvest you in all your glory Love maximization is my only aim Take me for who I am This is a farmer's love The poem may be horrible I know But that's my best you know I speak in cutlass, hoe and feed This is a farmer's love.... #SOPHOCLES

The feeling of misery Made to believe all these happens for a reason Birth, growth and death, all mystery Pray for us, oh great deacon Sitting here, thinking, all teary Need a focus, direction, a beacon Laughter seems like a strange concept Every inch devoid of hope, joy Smile, I hold thee in contempt Floating in the sea of hatred, anger the bout Happiness, joy and love all loose meaning Laughter, smile obvious in the face of enemy To witness the downfall all they are dreaming But this is not the destiny That was promised: A life of greater things, Is assured, but achieving this requires great patience. For when the time comes The ecstasy will last forever

To my fine-toothed fairy Of the land of the tributaries To my bow legged princess Looking so sure in azure dresses The strength of your smile Whisking me away to the land of fantasies In arguments about love, always I have been mulish Arguing against love, meeting you made me realize I have been foolish Engrossed by the level of affection we share I have to find you and declear To my bow legged princess. This is my dictum And nothing can change the fact This is my pact Forever I want to be in your bosom .

My heart is vitrescent Drop it and it shatters Into a million pieces Like a stick of incense Burns down to nothing When set on fire. Best safe in the world Is what I hope you are Coz no amount of words Can describe what are To me Keep my heart beating In all my entirety I submit submit myself To direct as you please As fair as an elf My guardian fairy Love is blind, dumb and deaf But my feelings guide me to thee. Forever alone without You
