I have hopes
As butterflies
Swerving around every petal
On every beautiful day
The flowers
An extension of boldness
Both purifying air
Into my longing lungs
Not letting me
Lose trust
In my instincts

Remember when we'd
Walk home from wherever
With the breeze hitting on our faces
And often times had too much to carry in our hands
We were beauty crafted from clay
The memories now distant
And I still await your call
Whenever I visit these places
Your voice no longer dances with the air
And now the breeze questions my presence

Hey babe!
I just called to say
I'm wearing the smile you got me
Along side the ego that comes with it
And i look super amazing
I smell like those rose petals you pulled from the yard lately also
And my skin glows like hell
Thank you!

I write so the love
That once lived between us
Always has a place to call home
In a universe full of beauty
Where misery also dwells

I thought nothing could
Keep us apart
And if anything did
It'd be you
I thought we'd pick our bags right back
If we ever fell or slumed
And if we didn't
It'd be love
©obotiana
If you slipped I would catch you
Right before you fell
While I live and I love you,
Why then not in death?
In a million more ways
My undying love I could profess,
I am human and I love you
But darling, expect a lot less

I made a hell of a mess loving you
And now I must learn to let you go
Loving you is just not the words I spell
Loving you is something
I will never get over
I cannot walk this earth
And not notice
That it's entirely empty
And unaware of the fact
That I'd probably die
A lot more times than once

Pride
And when it seems like all hope is lost
The seemingly possible becomes impossible
When my heart no longer conforms
To the resonance of it's beat
Because it forgot
How beautifully it moved while it danced
So it built a wall
Between our breathes
And echoes that said all we should have done
Sent chills down our bones
That left us numb dead yet alive
In our pride

Happier
I'm happier
Since I took that road trip down
I don't care lane
And saw all of you perfectly imperfect lies
When I realized it wasn't just about more
Until I started smelling my own roses in my head
I'm happier
Since I felt the world at my reach
With every breath I took
And I couldn't see your face
Fake the very smile I crumbled at
And your darkness lost its grip on me
I'm happier
With just a lit bit more of the love
I gave!

Promises
And If tomorrow I stagger at any of my promises
Know that I never let my heart skip a beat
Except it saw you from afar
Or heard your voice
That I never saw the sun set
Without first seeing it hit your face
Remember how I drove miles away from home
Just so I watch you laugh
Know I stayed up most nights
Just to watch you smile while you sleep
Know how much of myself I'll loose for you
And how much i did change for you
Because in the end
They were promises
Empty void stagnant
I was real full of life and once all you dreamt
And I gave each life

Our world
We live in a world where
A baby sees a destruction before a human being
A woman thinks her body should dance only to the tune the world plays
A man is driven by his sexual desires and cravings
A mother's only duty is to provide a womb
A father is mostly involved for no more than 7 minutes
A child believes more in his peers
The youths would do anything for pleasure
The old are greedy
In a world where
The living fancies the dead
The rich have bloods on their hands and stones as hearts
The poor must fake it to fit in
The learned need paper works to prove it
The unlearned sees every reason to request for it
Money speaks love
love now envelopes disloyalty, strife and deception
creation stares tiptoeing at the horizon
Awaiting the outburst of light
Heaven becomes the goal when death speaks
A world where we forget that we live on borrowed time

Love to me looks like two people
Liquor soaked or drug stoned
Feeling high
Dancing naked on the streets of New York
Bare footed on Madson lane
Star gazing at about 12 pm
Underneath a rainbow dipped sky
With smiles dropping as rain
On a strawberry filled hill
©obotiana
Love is but a dream where
We sail the skies on skateboards
A trip to heaven's doors
The sun sets not at nightfall
Picnic on the moon and dinner
With the sun as our heart's eternal
Fumes of ecstacy burn
Caramel tears on our cheeks with sighs
Love is but a dream in our minds

Let's not forget
The days only our nights
Were filled
And our scars
Left the best of ourselves
If I was fooled
It probably wouldn't stop
Because I only felt the best
When you lied!
©obotiana
And on these days
We're silhouettes floating
Into hopes of sunrise
I drift but you
Deeper into the night fade
The only tragedy I love
Our love seeking us
The lost
And all between us

Tonight and evermore
Dear lover,
May our hearts beat
In remorse, together,
In joy, in dreams that come true
Or don't, let me be still,
Stalwart with you.
©teamie_yusuf
Tonight and more to come
Dear lover,
Let your professions
Be always true and on guard
Ready to bear and mend
But not ever
Should it falter or fade.
©Kaya
Tonight and more to come
Her love,
Till words of our love spreads abroad
May our loins always guard themselves
To see you walk on the floor I paved with gold
In the presences of our foes
Even in death I'm yours

Fires
Hey little firefly,
Who warms your heart
In the freezing silent nights?
Pretty firefly
Lone star under our eyes,
When the winds turn storm,
When the rains turn flood.
Who takes you in
When your lights don't burn?
Frail fairy, dear firefly
Torment to doleful demons' sights.
If Hell into Earth collides,
Will Heaven make you angel-like?

I want to walk again
Within the darkest nights
With your hands clutching mine
We'll dance in the rain
Talk to the skies
Curl up in bed all dawn
I want to write
With my lips on your skin
The fairytale of my dreams
There's nothing I wouldn't give
To not wake from my sleep
For you only exist in my dreams
©teamie_yusuf -

Hush little soul
The days last longer
But the short nights
Are so damn cold
Hush pretty kid
Tho' lonely is the path
Leading to bliss
Like hell it entirely feels

Pictorial
The truth is
It was all a lie
The butterflies, smiles
The flames in our eyes
I'd love to love
With a love that never dies
So I imagined loving you
A mere picture on my mind
The reality is
T'was just a dream
The beautiful dawns
Sitting in the fields at dusk
I'd give my soul
To have with me your shadow
So I painted us a picture
One you've never known

When I think to write a love story
I get stuck at:
In the beginning
When I was asked to define beauty
All I could say is:
Your name
When I thought to describe heaven
My mind yelled:
Your arms

The world smiles
Her prayer is answered
Her plea has been met
Help came!
Wrapped in wealth.
Her soul no long mourns
Her children merry
Help is you!
