TABLE FOR TWO

Dedicated to Cynthia Onyebuchi Ossia
With love from Albertiyke Anukem

In my heart I have made a reservation
A table for me and you
I have bought a wine sealed with love 
The recipe will blow your mind off

When the night is at her peak 
Will serve you a botella de vino wine
And bless every moment with a kiss
As you explore the night in my arms

I have also bought you a lemon dress
For the night to be absolutely perfect
Wipe away those tears in your eyes
Lend me some of your pretty and amazing smile 

Tonight we are going to change the hands of time
For its going to be a memorable night
For the stars will glow in your eyes
Before you sneak into bed tonight

FOR OLD TIME SAKE

Baby, I truly do not infer in any way

When you told me you are going away
I must have had your feeling mistreated
I am sorry, wish I could seize such a moment back

Do not you reckon you are making a mistake?
Remember how I held you close doing the wake
I was there for you when the cloud became dark
When the sun came, I made sure you never lacked

I love you still, in my heart, I dream of you
On the sand of time, I drew a picture of me hugging you
Whenever you are in my arms makes the night smile
Can you grant me another opportunity and stay for a while 

My days have been cold, my night's getting colder
Whenever the night is blue, you made up time to come over
I could never be used to you for a million years to come
Thoughts of living without you it as drifting helplessly in the storm

Forget every silly word I must have said
All I crave is to be close by your side
You stole my heart both now and in the future
Living without you suicidal for sure

I have waited many lonesome nights for you
I can't love someone else the way I love you
If you look back, you will find God's will for me, and you
That's why He gave me the heart to love you as no one else does

I do not wish to be the only one looking at the picture
Together we can both fulfill our dreams in the future
Search your heart and mind if you wouldn't find traces of me in you
Tell me when you said goodbye, there is truly nothing you can do

When the night slips away, promise you'll stay for me
You will be the queen and I the king in your dream
Just to be close to you, all we need is a moment together
I promise never to leave your sight forever

SEX

Sex is a slave
A prisoner made to please our emotional desire 
She is comfort to a lonely heart 
Pleasure to the will of man 

Sex don't guarantee true love 
She don't promise your feelings wouldn't be hurt 
She is no alibi to a broken relationship 
But a bond between two heart wholly in love 

Sex sometime drives a man out of his mind 
Makes him betray his conscious and faith 
For a little satisfaction away from home 
A tragedy unconcealed under the sun 

Everyone has the urge to have sex 
But sometimes ignore the consequences 
There is an increase incident of rape of an innocent child 
While a woman's virtue is sold for a penny on the street 

Let no man tell you lies 
Search his heart and look into his eyes 
If between his smile you truly can find love
If you feel secure in the warmth of his arms 

Sex is just a game to some 
They don't care whose life is destroyed 
Orphans paying the price of immorality 
Victims to an ill-fated society
