JUST A THOUGHT OF YOU

I wake up with a smile each morning 
Knowing you make my day beautiful 
You are unique, special and rare 
And got a heart made out of gold

If for a reason today, it rain all day 
My night will be warm because I've got you 
You've got a touch that heals a broken heart 
Unforgettable memories of love in you I found


I will always cherish the day you walked by my path 
Like a rose, your fragrance permeate my heart 
Just as the star glitter in your eyes 
For you're one-of-a-kind, an angel in disguise

YOU CAST A SPELL ON ME

To my dear friend Seun Oladele
Dedicated to her husband.... Adewunmi

Like a story in a fairytale movie

You walked straight into my life

And it never became the same

I lost completely hold of my emotion

In my dream, I was always looking out for you

I knew the day we met, life will be beautiful

You are unique and got a smile that's magnificent

A charm that doesn't worn out in my heart

You stole everything in me

And took me to a world found only in my dream

In your arms, we walked through paradise

For I could touch the stars

I knew, I've got but one life to live

I'll love you every day and yesterday

I'll be by your side, walk eternity with you

Heaven rejoiced with me the day I found you

I NEVER ASKED FOR THIS

I never choose to beg on the street

But the world became greedy

Life selfish, impatient and demanding

And made me a victim deprived of the necessity of life

I asked God if my sins are immeasurable

That I have to suffer all my life

Come rain, sun shine and harmattan

Hope's clinging on arms vouched

I can't take this no more

This is not the life I asked for in my mother's womb

Life is at the verge of deteriorating

I can only seek and hope to feed from crumbs

The world sees me cursed for the sins of my forefathers

But why am I the one paying the price?

Don't I deserve a decent life like others?

A life not lived in thrash
