PICTURE OF AN ANGEL

A poem dedicated to Esther Omoyeni

I woke up in the morning
Saw a picture of an angel
Her smile is like heaven
Her countenance like the morning dew

She's is the essence of my world
Behind her smile is love, care and tenderness
Just as the sun kisses the flowers
She brings out the beauty in me

Her heart is gentle as the dove
The clouds rest on her shoulders
I couldn't find some one meek and adorable
That can ease the worries of a friend

You lite my day
Gave me a reason to be excited and happy
They say good things don't last forever
But this doesn't apply to you

ONLY FOOLS FALL IN LOVE

#Valentine #Love #AkanUdofia

A request Dedicated to Mellisa from the depth of my heart @Pascal Onyango

Life is difficult living our dreams

Yet it's thrown away for a complete stranger

A woman writes her wishes in her heart

Blessed it with love, tenderness and a prayer

Why do we seek so much for love?

Yet it caused us pain and sorrow

Sometimes I spend the whole night thinking

All the reasons I should never fall in love

But I feel like a fool whenever I see your face

It's like you caught me sitting under the stars

Time fades away like a shredded piece of paper

Each carrying memories of thought of you

Oh, what's so wrong with me?

How can I allow myself love you so blindly?

I keep losing my mind in my sleep

My feelings for you is running deep

It's alright; it was never your fault

I was selfish; I was a fool scared of falling in love

But began to see life clearer and appreciate her better

The day you wrote your name in the pages of my heart

IRREPLACEABLE

When you left I thought I'll do alright 
But many storms has come and gone 
The essence of life is falling apart 
After the rain came sleepless night

I wish I had foreseen this coming 
Life wouldn't have to be so sad 
Tearing my feelings apart 
I could only manage a fragile smile

I've tried many unsuccessful time 
To throw away memories of you 
But it's been no use working my heart out 
All this while she is still fond of you 

I feel silly, it makes me want to cry 
The world seem to be far from me and you 
Life has not been the same 

I still see traces of you in my closet 
A part of me still want you so bad 
Every night, in the morning and at noon 
You are every where in my thoughts 

For you are irreplaceable
