THE DAUGHTERS CRY
I’m too young to feel like this,
But when I’m with you, there’s heat,
I feel hot inside,
Your sight makes me keep my book aside,
So I ask my mother,
What is this I feel,
I feel heavy yet so light,
I feel relaxed yet so anxious,
I feel wrong yet so right,
Mother, what is this I feel,
My heart keep skipping beats,
My step falters when I listen to beats,
I think I’ll be sick,
If I don’t find him whom my heart seek,
Mother, please tell me what is this I feel,
All I know is from Science,
Reproduction from Biology,
No one warned me this feeling exist,
Mother please tell me what is this I feel?

THE MOTHERS SPEECH
You are the apple of my eyes, my companion too.
This feeling you feel is real and nothing to joke with.
It has nothing to do with age but you must thread with caution.
Ade mi, if it is what I have found with your father, its is good.
Rora tè omo mi
Don’t act only on what you feel,
Take your brain with you.
It might be love, it might be lust,
But makes sure he treats you right.
Respect you must get, True love only you must take.
For you deserve more, rora tè omo mi.
Accept nothing less
Never lose your V-card to him unless the time is right.

THANK YOU
Ota iba yo mi,
Then you came around and shut them up.
We re ti o wo le de ni oko ire de,
Only bringing success to the heart visits.
The only joy I genuinely had within,
meeting you I understood you’re nothing but JOY,
I smiled because Ayomitide and I could feel it.
I enjoyed the ride you made through my heart and the visit .
The believe you had brought me this far,not for once do I doubt your success too.
You taught me how special I’m,this I couldn’t have realised on my own.
Just like you taller than your peers, higher you move never coming down.
Shine on,cos’ yah the best.
Maybe I placed our love on condition so many times, but it was never intentions.
Just maybe we meet again,I would hold on so tight to you never letting go. Can’t afford to loose a daisy again.
The stars I looked up to in the sky you were.
I could go on and on but I realized I already miss that opportunity many times with you.
Slipped off the hands that could carry my burden with me,the shoulder I usually could lay on.
The heart that could understand my saddest moments.
If I tell you I miss you would you believe or think I lie like your thoughts of all time about me.
Captured in Asunke’s love trap
I thought I was fond of you Asunke… Until I noticed it was obsession…😕
Love was all I saw in your eyes… I found out it was mere infatuation….😟
Asunke gave me a taste of it, now she’s taking it away, I can’t help but hurt within and cry out my heart’s in rebellion….🥺
What did I do wrong?, I wished I held you closer and not push you away…. Or maybe I should have kissed her deeper, would we have connected better?😖
What hurts me most was the manner with which she cut me off, like we never existed… Or was I living in my thoughts all this while?…..🥺
I felt used, if this is what love is all about I don’t want to ever take part in that game again, if this is what heartbreak is, then I’m in one deep mess.
I wished I could have been more for you Asunke….truthfully, there is something about the way the world is made.
My father told me that a matchet has just one face…
My mother would warn me about the offsprings of “Alabahun” being just three of them.
I know what they mean by those words, you’re the only one I feel this way for, but the end ruined me.
My ego crushed and my pride lost.. .. you dragged my soul in hot coal as I kept on thinking about you Asunke….
@Rao_Dyb
The ancient one speaks…
Roses are not red,
and Violet’s blue,
Lilies are thorns,
And roses too.
Listen my son,
To the words I speak,
For they are a shield,
To those who heed.
Love is not lust,
Lust is not Love,
Beauty deceives,
the eyes kill.
Lust endures but for a while,
but Love stands the test of time,
As friends or as lovers,
Keep the fire still.
Have you seen the tiger,
It’s beauty and it’s might,
Do not be deceived my son,
For beauty is but a ploy.
But do not let these words trouble you,
For they are but a guide,
Still there is Love,
The Love that’s true.
When you see your love,
The second of your heart,
You will know of a fact,
That she is the one,
For eagles are made for the sky.
-Joseph Prince 👑
THE BIRD
You expected me to stay, didn’t you?
I’m sorry but I couldn’t.
I don’t wanna be trapped, I wanna fly
I wanna break free like the eagle in the sky,
Only coming down to have my fill.
I never took you serious, I’m sorry you thought so.
I know I broke you, trust me I didn’t mean that.
You were good, we were so good together but that couldn’t make me stay.
Please don’t hurt, you’ll find another.
How could I stay?
I don’t even believe in love.
How could I I believe in something that hurts my mother?
One that sends her to bed with tears every night.
One that holds her bondage to torture!
I’m sorry I had to disappear,
I’m sorry I had to run,
Faraway to where you can never reach.
I was falling for you and I could never admit it,
I did what I do best, I fled.
I’m sorry you feel used,
I’m sorry your heart is in pieces.
It was not a game to me but I can’t stay.
You were good for me but I guess not enough for me.
Not enough to break this shackles that holds me.
Think about me no more,
Asunke is gone, never to return
-kkystina
FEELINGS
You think it to be love but I call it lust,
I tried to find love but now I’m lost,
The love I believed will be forever young,
But all this while it seems I’ve been wrong.
I was young, and vulnerable too
You came like a thief all ready with your tool
Foolishly,I slipped into your trap
All of me you took within a snap
Yet,I believed it was the true feeling
Momma didn’t explain the mathematics of love
I mistake love for lust
Calculated the latitude for the longitude
We’re together but far away
Days are gone when we hold hands on the way
I dreamt each day my life will end with you
But instead you ended my dream and time’s due
You shattered my dream now because I loved with my heart but it misled me
Now my feeling’s mixed but I’m lost in the labyrinth of thought and asking myself how I sojourn this long.

FALLEN PRINCE
You should have known Ade!
You should have known!
You are a Prince!
Or have you forgotten?!
You won the prize of the strongest fighter,
You defeated all your foes,
With a single blow,
You sent them running.
How the mighty have fallen!,
How the Pillar have crumbled!,
How the tide has turned,
So quickly I am lost.
Asunke the peacock,
The arrester of many,
She came into the village,
with a beauty irresistible.
The young men tripped,
The hunters fell,
they used all weapons,
to capture this wonder,
She was like the Sun,
It was foolishness to deny her presence,
She was a lamb,
Her calmness but a Wonder.
She came to you willingly,
And welcomed you with open arms,
Whispering she declared,
I love you!
But still you should have known Ade!
But still you should have known!

ELEGANCE
My Omoladun, the Adumaadun of my heart.
The vertebrate to my invertebrates.
I long to see you again.
I walked out tonight after long while
You know what Corona has caused. Living in self made kirikiri is now the daily cause.
I looked up to the sky and got caught in it’s beautiful reverie.
The sky a canvas of elegance.
The perfect reminder of your stunning beauty.
The stars were aplenty
But it gave me the answer to your last question.
“How much do you love me”?
I pondered, I was lost in your love.
Love undescribable
But the stars gave the answer tonight.
Their immense quantity
In this beautiful reverie
Made me realise just how much my love for you is.
Darl, I love you immensely💖💖💖💖
When will you come back to me?

A LETTER TO MY LOVE
I write this letter to you Adunni,
With a heart as heavy as lead,
For I may never be able to write a poem,
as beautiful as you are.
While walking through the garden this morning
I caught the scents of flowers,
O! how wonderfully they smell
O! how intriguing they were.
Looking closely at a flower,
I couldn’t help but ask,
O Tell me, Tell me O flower!
The secret of your beauty.
To my utmost surprise I saw a tear,
Drop from the eyes of the flower,
With silent voices she said,
Life is only but a dream.
Beauty is Fleeting,
Feelings temporal,
For if I’m plucked today,
You will love me no more.
Of course not! I argued,
I will keep loving you!
But closing it’s petals she said,
Only time will tell the truth.
Walking home I couldn’t help but think,
Did the rose flower have a point?
Did she truly know?
The limit of love?
Could love be fleeting?,
Could Love be fake?,
My Love, these thoughts trouble me,
Again and again.
–JosephPrince👑
I’ve heard about the butterflies
Never left out are those lines
I’ve seen the fun moments
And even heard the many sentiments
I’ve heard about the promises
And watched it’s flow in diverse premises
I’ve seen Adunni go mad about Femi
Heard Akanni’s crazy lines for kemi
Aunt ayanke was cooed
But funnily I guess she was fooled
She told me how her thoughts wrapped him
And her world suddenly proved a film.
POINTLESS LOVE
Love proved overtime fleeting desires
A strategy out to claim mere acquires
I wished it never proved to me false
But each time it’s analysis came with a clause
I once tried to believe it’s existence
But deceit lied behind it’s calm innocence
I tried to put away my reasoning
And to enjoy the relish of its seasoning
But over again it was a mere facade
It show and deeds out for parade
He begged me to speak to her
His tears summed my acute anger
His excuses repulsed me the more
As I saw how he slammed the door
I lost my belief there and then
I concluded It’s life classiest den
That lulled at victims face its bait
It pushed it’s thrills with no wait
As it throwed it’s baby in it’s cot
It’s chill pour suddenly goes hot
Aunt ayanke seemed a shadow of herself
Her vibrancy and ectasy all locked up in a shelf
I’m sorry, I’m only held up in scare
Maybe all I need is to take the dare
I’m sorry I wished i could try
But my wetness had all gone dry
Just maybe love is true, maybe not
I’m too scared to get in the cot
I’m gonna take my leave
To you indeed I long to cleave
But I’m too timid to get in the coat
I ‘m not prepared to sail that boat
Maybe I don’t look back
I hope I never caused a crack

THE FOOL
Ah ah! I told you he was fake!
Now you are broken as a bird,
Drenched in the rain,
Soaked to the bone.
You let him in too quickly,
Your long for Him too easy,
Your open arms all but showed,
how cheap and easy you must be!
Ayanke was a fool!,
Her wisdom as short as a stool!,
Her knowledge can be counted,
Her dumbness can be louded!
For how could she believe,
That someone has mighty as the Prince,
Will stoop so low,
to consider a girl.
A girl with trampled values,
A girl as cheap as salt,
A girl devoid of respect,
From all both young and old.
Her bed is a pool,
Her arms are a coup,
Her eyes deceptive,
Her hips famished!.
I hope you learn from Ayanke,
For tomorrow is not a fool
Joseph Prince 👑
LOVE’S STING
I heard love had no calculations
They said it’s flow came with no speculation
Love should be free, I heard
It’s every expressions free, they said
Arms should be openly spread
At his sight her cheeks was to be red
I’m not an activist for love
But all this I heard make the clove!!
Maybe he was fake
But he was love’s make !!
What did you mean by quickly??
Love barged in so curtly!!
Don’t say she had no values!!
Cos’ she was known to always pay the dues!!
Don’t accuse her to be cheap
She dared to only take a peep
Ayanke indeed fell
All points to love being hell
-Princess_onis
A ride through my thoughts…
I love love.. the girl you were and and the lady you are.. I’ll also love the woman you’ll grow up to be.
Is this what they call love?
I don’t know, but I know what I’m feeling
It’s a sensation that I feel from within.
Maybe it’s mere addiction, or an infatuation…
Maybe I’ll get over this dazzling mirage, this illusion….
At the very first sight of you, my heart melted, I could barely breath as my heart skips.
Who knows if I was under a spell cast by your beauty, or charmed by your looks.
Words fail me as much as I try, but my feelings for you is better expressed than explained…
Love is what I feel yes I know, Maybe I’ll get to say this to you tomorrow!
-Rao_Dyb
ILLUSIONS
You say you love me but all I see is your lust
What if this illusion disappears?
What if this fog clears?
The attraction is there,
I can’t really fight it.
But do I want something more? I really can’t say.
Maybe a little kiss to get you out of my system but I really doubt it.
What is this? I wonder
Why does thinking about you make me so full?
But still I thirst!
Is this what love feels like?
With hearts pounding, I wonder.
I wanna make it work but I can’t help with the “what if’s)
What if the looks wither?
What if the beauty fades?
What if it is mere infatuation?
What if it is mere obsession?
Even with the what if’s, I still wanna try it.
I’m really scared of the unknown.
But it might really be worth it.

ETERNAL LOVE
The girl of my dreams, love has always been a word that kisses my ears but now it’s a feeling that grips my heart
Eternity is what comes to my head when I think of the time I want to spend with you.
We’re like a two sided coin, without you, meaningless will be my label
If beauty fades?
If looks wither?
My heart will still be for you to take because I look past your looks and I see a woman I’ll be willing to carve my heart out for just to satisfy
You’re my sun, you cover for me when I’m down and you shed light into my life
Why don’t we go through this journey of love together knowing we’ll be there for each other
Uncertainty keeps the blood boiling,
Adrenaline is on the high, fuelling our knowing,
Only the end justify the means,
What if your mask mean evil but I don’t heed,
We seem to be at the peak of love,
So we expect eternity together in flesh and blood,
What if we are already at our climax,
What if we only have now max,
Yes we love each other,
But we ain’t meant to be together,
I crave the bitter sweet experience with you
What if this love means the end for me and you,
What is this life without love,
What is love without you,
I’ll rather don’t have eternity,
As long as I’m in paradise with you,
What if the what if’s are true,
I’ll rather skip heaven and be in hell with you.
-THE_MUSE
THE LOVER
You say u love me,
A lot of people don’t know what that means,
I thread this road carefully.
For I have been misled by many
But she took my hands and showed me clearly
Everything I am feeling
More of what I never imagined
And all of what no one defined it
I follow her on this road blindly
Though bumps on the way, I trust her to catch me
I have never been so happy
Having anyone beside me
For home to me is where I am lonely
But I long for her touch, for her to hold me

Let’s do this!
Let’s soar high like eagles
Higher higher, the highest our wings take us
To the land of love with no boundaries
Where we’re free to show our love with no care
Come on Ayanfe mi, let’s go.
Come kiss my doubts and fears away
To the garden of love where all uncertainties vanish

Will you be my ken, Olowo ori mi?
I no longer care about what they say
The doubts be damned, the fears forsaken.
All I want is you and the sweet whispers you make.
Let’s make forever and I’m sure that’s how I’d want my eternity to be.
Let’s make the home of our dreams together,
I’ll be yours and you mine
Because home is wherever you are

I’m in love with a ghost,
A shadow of my past,
Why does my heart host,
Not a mole but a mountain of affection for
Aduke,
Eleyinjuege mi owon,
With no competition my heart you’ve won,
How come I got so carried away,
Flown to wonderland lori ere,
In your eyes I see the future,
Brightly reflecting like a mirror,
Though you hold a part of my past,
I don’t mind travelling back,
Just to be where I used to be, with my Aduke
Aladuke famimora,
Let me give you the highest moral,
Ife re lo npa mi bi oti,
I’ll climb the mountains for you, even the hill

Yours to hold, yours to love, yours to call on whenever you feel alone.
When I said I love you, I really meant it.
You can be carefree around me, I really don’t care,
Because I’ll be there sharing every bit of it with you and you only.
Let me be your guardian angel leading you towards the path of love.
Through each bumps, we’ll head one bravely facing.
Oh Alani, with smiles and wide grins on our face we’ll head on towards this path we choose.
For I’ll be there with you, holding you every step we take

These three words I would love to scream on the lowest of plains,
These three words I would gladly shout on the highest of mountains,
These three words I would boldly echo in an enclosed tunnel,
These three words I would gladly paint on the biggest board,
These three words I would tirelessly keep writing on the bulkiest of notes,
These three words I would confidently broadcast on air,
These three words I would yell on the hallway,
Three words I would confidently make known in the marketplace,
These three words I would gladly make my anthem.
I LOVE YOU
Your eyes a beauty to behold
Your nose is so perfect on you
Your cute lips, keeps beseeching me
Your ear a cute match for you
Your short hair , still as cute as ever
Your arms are indeed pleasant
Your palms are soft as I always long to hold
Your busts are perfect on you
You ain’t got flat tummy, but it’s perfect on u
Your butts are quite flat, and it’s a part of your specialty
Your legs are sexy as I see how confident you walk in them
Everything about you make so much sense
your thought rules my world
Your smile brightens my day
Your voice causes a spark in my heart
Your laughter keeps my heart beeping
Your touch leaves me melting
Your hug is more than just an abode
I know there are gonna ups and downs
I know Eternity holds it’s many uncertainties
But I promise to do my best
And give you reasons to discard the rest
I know it’s not all gonna be pleasures
But with you I long the pillow fight
I long to go mad angry at you
And to suddenly melt at your touch
I long to reach an agreement with you
An agreement leading us into forever
I really want you to know
That You are beautiful
Oh so so so so beautiful
Very very very very beautiful
And my three words remain
I love you

TRUE LOVE
I wake up to the smell of Flowers,
Scents so strong they keep me Alive,
Why this feeling?
Why this Joy?
Do I deserve this?
I’m so confused.
I have my books to read,
I have a future to build,
I have fears and worries,
But still I think of you.
Love is a Lion,
It’s boldness a blessing and a curse,
Love is an Eagle,
It lifts you like a bird,
Love is a scorpion,
It’s poison runs deep,
Love is a Tree,
It’s fruits bitter sweet.
I smile when I remember you Aya mi,
Your beauty drew me to you,
Your voice kept me still,
Your poise stopped my heart,
Your smile tripled it’s beats.
I desire to profess my Love,
But I fear the end results,
Will we remain friends?,
Or will a veil be torn?
As I sit on bed and think of you,
a deep sadness keeps me still,
Slowly my Joy fades away,
As I realize you may never know still.
–Josephprince 👑
Maybe I love you, maybe not
I know I care for you, I really do
One I can confidently call my friend,
One I can call my helpmate, I’m grateful.
For being the kindest of heart, you really deserve all the love you get.
The anchor that holds people,
You’re so cute, you capture the hearts of people
I fear I might say no when you confess, not because I don’t love you but because I’m scared.
Scared of commitment,
Scared of my insecurities Scared of hurting you.
But know this,
You don’t have to fret,
You don’t have to worry alone.
I’ll be here with you through it all.
Let our love lift us,
Let us build something strong,
As friends or lovers, I don’t care as long as we build together
The thought of you will always bring smiles to my face,
And your kindness will always pull me to you,
Because you are you and I know you love me the little ways you can.
One thing I know,
No matter the outcome, I forever love you.
As lovers? Maybe, maybe not
