I'm so glad you are in my life
For i don't know what I'd do without you.
I was patiently waiting for you to come
I needed to see your angelic smile
To hear your heart beat against mine
I thought I have lost you but something in me assured me that you'll be back for me
Your warm embrace and melodious voice minister to my soul
Its impossible to live without you
As life itself will be meaning without your love
I'm glad I found you,Nlanders are envious of our love
I love you and forever will no matter what time brings.

Okay my prince

I love you much more than words can tell
What i feel is deeper than a well
And With you is where I'll dwell
Because you my dear makes my head swell

And With you is where I'll dwell
Because you my dear makes my head swell
This I know is the begining of a perfect union
The begining of our love story
I pray to God that we part no more
Wish I can bring the moon and the sun to your doorstep to show you how much I care
I will do my best to love you
Treat you like a queen that you are
Walk beside you and not behind you
I'll kiss away your tears in time of sorrow and share in your happiness
My prayer is that you love me the way I love you
That our love grows each passing day without ceasing
I love you more than you can ever imagine,more than words can say
Good night my angel,sweet dreams as you sleep.

esere826: To Ileke-idi (that is if u be woman o)

've never seen you, never met you
anyways, perfection seems all you do

So I'll try to create you into a lovely, yummy dream o mine
give you a plum backside, silky skin, elegant limbs and stuff thats fine

Admiration and amazement stares me daringly in the eyes
when you glide through the glorious past, present and future of our lives

I catch my breadth as I watch your elegant hips sway to the sounds of our culture
a gentle, little er.ection of mine set off by your mixture of beauty and brainy stature

Precious n' fanthomless are those things you've got your coral crown sitting on
Also precious n' effortless are those things you've got your coral beads hanging on

Ahhhh........, you swirl towards me, ....gently,
ahhhhhh....., yes ...............seductively

'still can't keep my eyes off those hips,jeez!! they're fine
its alluring pull tells me a lot about babies: yours and mine

you do not tarry for long
for now I taste your tongue

mmmmhhh...the smell of your skin, the fullness of your lips
vine, forbiden in the heart of the caliphate but I must sip

softness made its home not too far from your heart
desire places my hands affectionately on your warmth

my eyelids shut, that I might drink you complete
nope, changed my mind i must see every bit

I always wished I was there at the creation, the begining of all things
at this moment, we indeed are, ..carousing na.ked, the creation of loving

Eyes opened. Noooooooooooooo.... I should'nt have
for now I see that my laptop is all I have


grin me date, touchy , touchy grin ?



Lol. Wow!

And if i tell you that I'm a man nko?

Sofrey sofrey. nice poem tho. smiley And you described me to the T grin

Poetry is expressive like that. It can also accommodate any subject matter.

I dare not leave you alone!
How would I start that which I can't finish

How would I lift you from the shackles of loneliness
Only to return you to a life of unholiness

When I promised to be loyal, I meant it with all absoluteness!
I see in the concept of love, you are accustomed to the law of directness.
It is these qualities that endeared me to your bigheartedness
My love, you are so full of sweetness
You have restored my youthfulness!

But first of all, lets talk business
How do we maintain solidness?
Re: Nairaland's "The Poet" Competition by Freiburger(m): 9:47am On Aug 07, 2012
i'm sorry i'm just seeing this one
you know i know Nl is still the number one
coz everything about it is just full of fun
bad boyz try to pull it down, but they gonna run
see my peeple doing all things just to stay online
we gonna be somewhere, someday if we stay alive

To be continued

The colours of d breez becomes visible,
Shivers pass through my spine
And my silly heart jigs and jives in dancing......

Loving u anywhere and everywhere
Even if Nlanders guys de tear,

Cos to you i've lost my head lik a man who drank beer.

O cuddlemi, my dear

In d height of d night
D fantasies of yr smiles brings me great delight!
....
Wen my night is lonely and cold
And i need someone to "cuddle mii" and hold
i close my eyes and it's yr name i behold in bold.
.....
Then i paint a picture
of u and me in d future
Venturing into an adventure
in fulfillment of d scripture
"...and he shall cling unto his woman and they shall become one.." with all pleasure.....!

In my opinion, crowning a winner would not be fair as a lot of members participated in this & it turned out successful.

Agreed, some of the poems were not compliant with the rules but it was still a beautiful read. So its difficult to disqualify posters just because they didn't dedicate their poems to any of the contestants.

That being said, the contestants can now choose the poster that won their heart with the poetry he/she wrote. Let the actual dating begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If viewers want to vote, click the "like" button on the poster's poem, that would automatically show whose poetry was flawless and the ones that need improvement.

Congratulations to all the writers for taking out time to do this, you are highly honored & appreciated.

I got the message, I give you 6/10. As far as I am concerned, Poetry should be short concise and rich in meaning. Your verses shouldn't be too long- this isn't prose.
