NIGHT’S ANGEL ( for Vickie Alozie)
Treble cuffs round my heart
She loses me in the maze
Of her chord webs.
Herald of my morning
She conducts the symphony of my dreams
Leaving the stars in her wake.
Spellbinder! Conjurer!
Binding me to her teeming legion
Of bewitched day-dreaming disciples.
And she sits there, oblivious
Of what she does to me
She sits there, oblivious
That she makes me
Laugh
Cry
Reminisce
Fall in love
She sits there, oblivious
Weaving magic out of my nights.
THE ULTIMATE SEARCH
I seek a good thing
And twice I’ve found and lost
In this race too fast-paced
For my short legs
They say:
She is to run
And I am to chase
She is to take
And I am to give
Well, I’m out of breath
And out of gifts!
Call me a coward
But I’ll just fall asleep
And let the rib be taken out
Give my legs some needed rest
Nice one…
good…i mean good!
Omo…Vickie…ok na!
As for the second one, HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Hilariously true. I loved the 2 poems.
Love both poems, but the second is my favorite…Great job!
i love both but the second one kills it for me…very sensible, what you did in the end…sit and wait like Adam did…love ‘em
d second got me laughing my belly out,and i love dem both>thumbs up man.
Thanks everyone! Seems you all love the second one in particular. What can I say, it is the plight of many guys. The chase dey tire man sometimes.
is it experience talking?
Nice, liked the second one in particular
Real funny
Don’t mind them o! I like the first one better…maybe because I know that after dropping the pen for the second one, you went out to stretch, and there was this fine babe, and…and…Both verses are pure beauties for me.
well, what can I say? I guess it’s partially experience talking. Thanks everyone for your comments. Personally, I really like the second one. @ bako. yep! there was this fine babe. But she was (still is) on the radio. A little hopeless shey?
And with this reply…you sold me the first one.
You’re really good. Vicki suppose see this poem.
