For Freecocoa 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 |

SimplySEA: To cuddlemi 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. 2 Likes |

For: Freecocoa 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? |

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

To apocalypse.. 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. |
