Keys and Strings

Astonished I am

By thine comely grace

Lush green leaves swaying in the breeze

All hang their apex in jealousy

When you walk by

The midday sun is it as hot

As your cool beauty.


Awesomeness is your birthright

Omidan,

Arẹwà

Ọmọge míì.

I don't know how to play the harp

I'd have sing to you

With the strings.

And I can't play the piano

I'd have made you blush

With the keys.


All I know is lines

I hope my lines are strong enough

To reel you in.

To me,

Mine and mine alone.

There is love in sharing,

But I can't share my love.

I'm the sole proprietor here.

Omolola

Omolola mi Because of you, I can trek from Awe all the way to Sabo From the jungles of Akinmoorin to the slums of Isale-Oyo, Even if you want, I can forsake my beloved fufu for noodles. The love I have for you is more than be careful. Although my eyes are pushing me I will bravely face any member of your clan The seed of love you planted in my heart has turned to a great tree of affection Even the giant Iroko will be dwarfed.

Farmer's love

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

My morning dew, exuding a serene atmosphere of calm.. Alluring, amazing, awesome... my golden tiara... Running through my mind, heart, but never so far... Young, beautiful with manners, my beacon in this sea, my quay.... Anchoring to this plane of existence, my mana... My bouy in this sea of mayhem
