“Did you put me in your will ?”

cheddarking: To iya bayo

Hot puff puff and akara
roasted peanuts and bananas
10 naira rice and some ewa
I will love you forever

All my savings went to you
spent on obe to dun
an 8 year old boy on his way to school
now a man forever missing you.

[center]’farCLOSURE’’

How further will a man's heart be?
21 days and the sun still won’t set for my return
Each night loneliness lay by me like the virus Solitude
Broken - closure is far.
And tonight…this night the sea is raging
I listen. Wait for your sweet whisper in every splash
But only creases from crisscross by whitehorses
<sighs>
I hope for that break in a travelling bottle
love-strung message to fight this abandon
I know I'll see your face again
those cheeky bones that inspire my smile
far away here, aboard the West Polaris.

@Tgirl4real

my fondness for you
constantly Deepens
cos each time I think of you
my heart starts to Weaken
this fondness seems to increase
with every Breath
that it tests the limit my imagination
can Stretch
you make everything else appear
Hollow
cos wherever you are loveliness is to
Follow
You shine so bright that you cast your own
Shadow
A beauty that others would like to
Borrow
But try as they might, your beauty they will never Match
cos someone like you they could never Catch.

freecocoa: I found you

I searched for a long while
For the one i'll love all my life
I traveled far and wide
But got nothing from all the rides

I concluded love wasn't for me
So decided to live my life as it be
With just my teddybear to cuddle at night
And my pillow to wet with tears

One day i found my way to NL
And cupid bestowed upon me MEL (my everlasting love)
The one i've waited for all this while

You turned out to be the best
That i can never ask for a next
Not even if just for a test
Because finally my heart is at rest
Having found you my dearest

Dedicated to MBJ and Chuky234
You just made my night,hope this love blossom into a new flower

I no think for one day say i go be the one wey go tell you say,i wan marry you.
Na almost crime to beg man to carry you go show him mama for my place.
But since wey i meet you,na that day i know say i go wan spend the rest of my life with you.

Oh my chocomilo,the way you dey do me,i no fit explain but i just know say you dey make my heart do jigigijibombom,if you waka pass,my mind go somersault come sound like thunder wey ready to strike person.

If no be you e no fit be you,so just take my hand make i show you wetin i mean,no ever leave me na beg i dey beg because if you leave me na die be that.

I no say you no get money now but one day e go better,i dey tell you this because money no fit stop our love even though onyinbo say "no romance without finance",come my sugarbanana make we show the world wetin love mean.

Dedicated to MBD and Chuky.

First Time writing a Poem, here it goes.

Do not treat my Poem with Disdain/
I am merely attracted to your Name/
Please don't take this the wrong way/
It's the most fascinating name on the list i could find/
Creative and witty, it's kind of sublime/
I hope such an attraction is not a bad Sign/
For me to spend good minutes of my Time/
Twisting Words just to make them rhyme/
I think i will stop here for the Night/
I have things to do/
Unlike some People on this Site/

Title: how much I love you
Look outside your house and see,
The birds singing for you
The trees whistling for you
The flowers dancing for you
The moon smiling for you
Cos I asked them to show you how much you mean to me
Good night my angel....

I see just how much you love me darling and it gladdens my heart.

I often thought of love as a mirage
Something that can never be found or felt
But you came into my life and showed me that its real,that its the best thing ever.
Being with you gave my life a meaning.

This is just to let you that I'm never letting go
So fasten your seatbelt cos you are going on a journey of eternal bliss with me,close your eyes and let's fly away into the night on an endless journey of love.

Sweet dreams mi amor.wink

Dear Anonymous

She speaks with disarming grace
every word reflective, of thought deep
a woman beautiful in every sense
one I wish to wake by with each rising sun
every moment you're here makes me smile
I press hard to utter things that rhyme
hoping by chance you'd be mine
I hope this finds you and finds you well.

Title: Now that you are here

Now that you are here,
My life is complete
I have nothing to fear
Cos with you is where I belong
I know this each time I feel the wind
The wind is you,the wind is your love
It is crystal clear that your love flow with the wind as I feel it every time it passes
It is that same love I hold so dear
Now that you are here,I feel warm and new
I know we never want to part,as am sure you feel same way inside
I cant imagine a life without your smile
I cant imagine a love without the name,Freecocoa
Now that you are here,you are all I ever need
You are the only place I call home
The only one I call love
The only one I live for
Now that you are here,my life is complete

[center][/color][color=#770077]Dear Anonymous You,
there's not much pain but to admire you from afar
to feel virtual warmth in the companionship of another
sometimes I dropby and hope in earnest you'd be here
just to hear you talk sense and keep decorum in this rowdy house
to chide adult-kids engaged in petty brawl out
...how I miss you now.
I hope you cook good like you talk good
maybe we could BBQ over some try-out roast
take time out to discover our hearts
along quiet paths just the two of us
till the sun sets in our wake.
