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

Wow my head is spinning right now.

Words cannot explain how deeply i feel for you
For you are the reason why i wanna wake up everyday,you are the air i breathe.
My day starts with thoughts of you and ends with dreams of you,you are the only one for me and i love you dangerously my sunshine.

Title: At last
At last love has embraced me
All my life,I have wished for love
I have waited for love,
And lived for love,hope was lost
As I though you will never come
Just when I thought that love is not for me,
You came and kiss away my tears
Your sweet melodious voice sing to my soul
Tonight I am loved,the best night of my life.
I can’t wait for the day we become man and
wife,a day fill with joy and hapiness
You bring sunshine to the life and love we both share
Nothing will ever change the way I feel for you,my love for you is endless
I wait for the day I can hear your heart beat against mine
At last love smile at me,your love restored my soul
You gave me a reason to live,a lasting joy
NL has become my only home as that's the only place the name Freecocoa is engraved
boldly in gold
I sleep,eat,and drink with NL beside me so I can see that name that mean the world to me
At last I know how it feels to love
At last love found me
At last my joy know no bound,a millions years from now I will still be in love with you
My love for you is so pure,my Freecocoa
My joy,my love and my sweetheart,
At last I found you.

~a life~
Tonight the stars did come alive
Brazen in beauty across the skies
While I lie beneath this dream
Gazing through to me amidst the light

The night soon fades in time
Flights of the dark before twilight
A dawn that steals the calm of a sleeping world
So do my dreams to shinning lights

Moment of beauty framed in frailties
Fault lines at the heart of history
Hanging life on clutches of memories
And quietness on the faces of pictures

Life lives on wings of deeds
One powered with passion and goodness
Emblems that outlive death's shallow gates
In a love city that lives in all men
A life

~.....island rose~

Come back to me my love

The very first time I set my eyes on you
My heart skip a beat
Felt like setting my eyes
On my guardian angel
You sound so angelic and
My life turn around

Six years later you are d angel
And am d devil.
Remember d first night together
Remember the first kiss and poems

How I wish I can turn back
Hands of time.
See how things turn around
We argue all d time nowadays

That is part of marriage is what they say
Humble and submit to ur husband
Is what the Bible says
Come back to me now
Cos I don't want to change my mind

Love they say conquers all
But your trust for me has faded away
Give me a chance to prove am
Still the guy you use to love
Now or ............

Night.....
We have a family that cares for us

Vavavoom: [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.


[/center]

Well done! Keep it up!

You haven't been lucky with luv, you say?
With me your name would be changed to lucky!
Your hurting is in the past now,
I shall re-write your story
And give you a love tale

Ask the mirror again,
I am the snow white you have been searching for
I shall wrap my arms around you
And soon you would feel like a new born
I shall feel your heart with so much joy
You shall wear a permanent smirk for life

My simplesea,
you have made it so easy to sail away with you at sunset
So I can get lost in your embrace where no one is watching
No prying eyes to stop me from caressing you
If there is a private chamber on the ship,
The rest is history, gbam!

I have one for Slimyem... I wish she can still see this.
Re: Nairaland's "The Poet" Competition by Nobody: 6:18am On Aug 06, 2012
For Slimyem:


I had never woken up with a smile


Now a smile is what wakes me up


I lay on my bed each night happy that I met you


Like everything else doesnt matter but you


I cuddle my pillow with the thoughts of u making a movie in my head


Salivating for the smiles that wakes me each morning


I think of you, your smiles, your brilliance, yor beautiful body & your rare feminity.


Slimyem is like music to my soul


With you my world keeps spinning


Dead to the outer world but your world


I want to be with you, hold you, treat you nice & make u reach Heavenly heights with me


Id rather kill my senses than risk not having the feel of you


You are the best thing thats happened to me in a long time.

Title:Your Bold Smile
Like the morning dew you came into my life and lighten it with a bold smile
My soul filled with joy,my heart swim in your love
You took my pain as if it was yours yet wear a bold smile
You gave me love without condition
You gave me a shoulder to cry on without a price
You promised to be my pillow when I fall asleep
You stood by me,gave me strength when I was weak
Your bold smile made my living on
earth worthwhile
Each time you whispered in my ear,my love grows
Though we are miles apart,but I still feel your heart beat
Distance means little when two hearts stays in touch
Your bold smile makes me scale through the hectic schedule of Eko without blinking knowing you are mine
Whenever I am alone and wished you were here,I see your bold smile and remember you are always close
Your bold smile is a food to my soul
I was empty without love,now a celebrity with you
Words are never enough to express how I feel for you,my Freecocoa
I sleep and wake with the thought of your bold smile
A smile that has become my guarding angel
Without your bold smile my life is
meaningless
I pray that you never take the smile away
I will love you with all my heart,keep your bold smile and never take it away
Cos my life depends on that bold smile,good morning my love.

for Iyatrustee

Iyatrustee
sounds like i can trust you
so i made you my trustee
giving you a blind trust
without an ounce of distrust
hoping that would do for us
killing every form of false
between both of us
i walk while you ride the horse
standing against any force
a wild dog and a fox i fought
this is not the second, third or the fourth
i did it without a second thought
when i gave what cant be bought
to give you comfort
but at the end, look at what you brought;
a season of hunger and drought
leaving me with just this piece of cloth
is this what i get for giving away my trust?

Tgirl4real: LOVE AND PRIDE

Love and pride are two enemies that can’t coexist
When one partner refuses to accept his wrongs
When “I’m sorry” becomes an issue
When you expect the other to go first
When you are too big to apologise

Then . . . Pride is in the way
Pride gets in the way of loving someone unconditionally
Pride will quench the flames of love
Pride builds bitterness
Pride encourages selfishness

Love forgives
Love heals
Love apologises when wrong
Love puts pride aside
Choose love over pride

cheesy

So here it is. This is inspired by the work of one of my favourite writers here kiss

SWEET DEATH

If life was music
Then death would be silence
But what would sleeping be?
Hurting was not meant to be
But also was this hurting in my heart right now
This pain behind my eyes
And this heaviness in my brain

Life could be music
But death cannot be silence
Because if death was,
How can I explain this ringing in my head
How can I explain the pounding heartbeat
Because the absence of you is death
In you my life is hidden

If death is not silent
That would make sleeping the presence of sound
But if sleeping is the presence of sound
Why do you sleep so quitely
Oblivious to my pain
Impervious to my charm
And my crying, the music of my life

But if life was music
Then sleep has to be silence
Because I can't hear you
And you are deaf to my pain
I can only feel you sliping away
Away into some dark place

If life were music
And death were silence
Then sleeping has to be both
Because in sleep, there is life and death
There is silence and noise
Pain and happiness
Life and death

So wake from your sleep my angel
Don't slip away into the shadow
Bring back the light of my life
Play the music of life
And let death be the peace of the night
Let us sleep together
And have the beauty of life and death

You've been a good friend...
Through the past years...
Both in and outside here..
Your support for me has never swayed...
In any way...
And my respect for you will never wane..
For as long as we have this life..
And can contain our strife.
