A WOMAN

A woman was made from the ribs of a man
Not from his head to be above him
Nor from his shoulder to be equal to him
Nor from his feet to be trampled upon
But from his ribs to be beside him
To support his dreams 
And be close to him
To care for him and be loved

AM I LOSING MY MIND?

I have not been the same since I fell in love with you

In my dream I find myself kissing you

And I couldn't figure out what else to do

No one else touch my heart as much as you do

Maybe it's the reason why it’s lonely anything I am not with you

Every night spent without you, get me cold and lonely of thoughts of you

When am waking down the street, wished I bumped into you

My life has being beautiful when am with you

When I look at the mirror I see a reflection of you

Last night I dreamt  I was spending my world with you

Sometimes it's difficult to focus when I am not with you

Please tell me if am losing my mind for having feelings for you

A STRANGER IN LOVE

I meet this girl walking down the street

There was something about her; I felt it in my heart immediately I saw her

The night was heavy but I couldn't resist the guilt in my heart

Just walking by when I had a million reasons to approach her

When I looked into her eyes, I saw heaven and the beauty therein

I could see the stars smiling through her eyes

I fell in love with her despite we were complete strangers out of the blue

When she smile the virtues in my heart got attracted to her

I have never felt like this since junior high

I don't know if it is right for me to have this feeling

Or if it's wrong for me to fall in love with her

For she is a stranger I meet out of the blue

I was staring at the moon and praying in my heart

I wished the moon had stayed a bit longer a forth night

There was so much I wanted to tell her to get my feelings right

So we can get to know each other more for a start

For I have fallen in love with her, a stranger I meet out of the blue

For a moment I still felt like a kid, I was excited all through the night

Wished I had a picture of her on my cell phone

I would have stared at her all through the night

Every night I shall walk by the path where we meet 

Maybe I will catch a glimpse of her again tonight

For I have fallen in love with her, a stranger I meet out of the blue
