FRAGILE MEMORIES



My thoughts have been endless
My ambition staring at me
Am in the middle of my ecstasy
Trying to find the path of an ambition man
Within a little time I had to make my own destiny
And accept her unconditionally
Make friends in a world full of enmity
Challenge the odds this worlds has offered
Can you hear the silence of the night?
The memories she carries as she fades away?
The memories she bears for a million years?
It must have been a burden been a man
Carrying so much worries in our heart
An unnecessary regrets for fate we can’t influence
I must make my tomorrow’s today
Be a proud pauper than a zealous king
A servant to my own heart
A slave to my ambitions
And an hero to a deprived man


CROSSROAD



Just one road to cross
Just one life to live
Life’s so short to live all our dreams
It’s so fast if you don’t have a grip
You can lose all you've been working so hard for
Sometimes it can sneak behind you
Make you lose faith in all what you believe in
Every man is striving to live a decent life
Sometimes he does odd jobs just to get by
Maybe man’s destiny has been predetermined
To carry the burden of the world on his shoulder
He has the knowledge, strength, skills, foresight and passion
The will to hustle and provide his family’s daily needs
For this reason God made the sun to always shine down on him
He is a stranger to his own ambition and listens to his conscience
Life is on a cross road, we've got just one path to take

I LEFT MY HEART IN ABUJA





The first time I set my eyes on you, was a picture you took on a staircase somewhere in Abuja
There was something unique about your smile
It caught my heart and it never let go
Then we meet in Lagos a couple of months later
For some reason the sun was shining brighter that day
I don't know how you did it, you somehow got completely hold of me
And I couldn't let go, my heart keeps yearning for you
And you had to travel back, I couldn't say goodbye because my heart didn’t want you to go
I used to overhear people talk about how beautiful the city Abuja is
A city that’s full of dreams, love, opportunities, hope and inspiration
I could only think of you, that’s the only direction the compass in my heart keeps pointing me to
To me, you are the rainbow that makes the whole city beautiful
Every day I want to go on a ride to meet and spend time with you
But I couldn't find the right time to make a trip to come see you
Days becomes weeks, weeks becomes months and I lose track of time
I only see you through a thin memory frame of the little precious time we spent together
I have always treasure the brief moment we spent together
My heart has always been in Abuja, that’s where I found you
Someday am going to embark on a journey, to spend the rest of my life with you
I can’t seems to find love elsewhere, because my heart is fond of you
I have been praying for a miracle, that's for my dreams to come true
I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you

With Love to the woman of my dream..... Ibinabo Bobmanuel
