What need for a candle that must remain unlit?
Whispers no longer suffice,
Its time to pay the price.
I’ll give it all to you this day,
No matter what will or may.
Stolen water tastes sweeter
Than honeyed wine from a sister.
My heart is faint and my soul weary
Of moments stolen to make me merry.
The hours of love in darkened meadows
And days of bliss in hidden shadows
I’ll barter for seconds of bliss or flight
Shared in the stern glow of light!
So let’s tell it to the winds;
Peel off the covering rinds,
And bare before the eyes of all,
The perfection of cupid’s call.
Love and show it to the whole world. love is not a crime!

Actually, I don’t understand why it usually feels like a crime. You must agree with me @xikay though, that when you started, it felt that way too.
Not only when I started [that is if i ever started. LOL] @sontel …it does feel so even now…maybe marriage would change it.
@xikay marriage is not a CURE or ANTIDOTE for wah you av down there!!! Male or Female….
you no get the point @shaifamily. Wetin I mean be say, when I dey with chick, e be like say na thief i dey thief…but if na my wife, i go sabi say i don already pay and na my own.
Like I no know…why I talk “Love As Many As You Can”
You mean LUST after….@shaifamily

Open up the outlets and let it wash ashore.
And from Romeo and Juliet, a template take
To re-enact a story of our time to generations beyond.
Yes o @midas! Na so we go dey do am.
So, xikay, why didn’t you write these in the difficult way only you could understand?
Referring to our discussion yesterday on why good poems are the clear and easily understood ones.
You know you can make this very tough on readers….
@kayce, no let @amy78 come here slap me up and down o! Yes I could but I chose not to…You too funny sha.
the creator puts a tantalizing apple in d middle of d garden, and makes us very much aware of it…..den calls it ‘forbidden’

Thank you @laworemike
bros i am waiting for the release of a book of poetry from youooooooo, pls – take it to a much higher level. you are a love machine indeed. love is sweet cheers
You may not have to wait long oga @mikeeffa….something is in the works.
I hear say Cupid was once the mini-god for gays….why man and woman for d pic?
That na aside….
Nice piece of poetry man…as always. I know I sound like a broken record already.
Now dis, dis is cool….infidelity, incest, adultery… or just two people doing (or abt to do) something they are not supposed to? cos dt first verse sure looks like it to me.
I like…d last parting shot “Love is not a Crime” – Love as many as you can sef…no dey hide!!!
Oga @shaifamily are you talks from the bottom under of a tomboliquor? What are a gentreeman like me be does with gay….
I am hears you talk about “LOVE AS MANY AS YOU CAN”…Is you polygamous?>
Thanks for reading.
errr, you never know dis tinx. especially since you r still a “mystery” to me. Hahaha
Ehn, polygamy legalizes the tin…rather than doing all the kurukere moves.
Everyone’s cards on the tabe
@xikay

I feel you. I know all about stolen waters…
I think you have more to tell us @magic
