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.

Paraprosexia Like a thorn in the side Always present Yippee, what can I do Way too much Intoxicated by you Till dusk or dawn Here with me My constant distraction Enigma, the one I love

i love

I see you in every reflection I will become your flute And only your lips can blow me You're my only destination Your heart and mine interfuse I know right, lovey dovey Smile, epitome of perfection Any rumors of distrust, refute Possessive, I belong to thee

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
