You Are Magic

All eyes on me but mine bore holes in you

 

Sweetly swirling before my eyes

 

Like gamblers follow their rolling dice

 

Walking on air endless without a care

 

And like a moth's attraction to light

 

My day surrenders to your night

 

Don't notice how green their envy is

 

Bliss like no one can truly give

 

Makes my heart beat in heave

 

All my doubts have disappeared

 

Can only see your graceful allure

 

Bewitching with the charm of azure

 

Take you out of me and the magic is gone.

She Died

She leaned on my shoulders and never woke up again

Her hot tears scalded me as they streamed down my back

Lifelessly she hung by me and nobody else felt her pulse

Couldn’t see her lips move but felt she had a bit to say

They argued and agreed she was as dead as a door nail

 

I am here now and you can talk to me I whispered to her

Her pains, fears and heartbreak took shapes before me

Fought back my tears as my heart melted to her ordeals

Urged her to agree with them that she was totally dead

Lost to the world of everything else but the two of us

Tiny warmth, strength of a woman within her heart

Fanned into unquenchable embers of affectionate flames

By the words I sang into her ears and rubbed into her skin

 

I told her she didn’t need to worry her pretty head off

She raised her head, looked me in the eyes and smiled at me

I smiled, she smiled, we smiled and our hearts glowed

And her feelings and soul died to all that hurt her in the past

Held her tenderly yet with arms so firm like no other

My strength and aura were the assurances she needed

Kissed her and promised her that everything is alright

She never woke up to the fears that brought her to me

I Have Something To Say

You are the fairest of them all and they never cease to be awed as they laud and applaud the handiwork of God and none ever jawed you my love. Your beauty is not flawed because you are not a fraud. I will fight and claw to make your path broad

Because I am your knight that always comes to your fight. You make me recite how much skin-tight my love fits to your heart. I will hold you through the night till our spirits are truly light with the delight we know how well to excite.

You have been a dearest friend and you alone I will always send. I will bend even to break just to make amend to blend in your life my love. They cannot comprehend how much I depend on your trend because you do not pretend.

How long has it really been since my soul desires to be seen by you? I will trek even to Berlin to feel you addict me like caffeine because I have truly missed you and your African cuisine. I am keen not to allow anybody come in between us my love

I am so proud you are well-endowed and because you give me the happiness of a crowd, you make me scream aloud when you exude that appeal that puts me in the mood and I make you reach for the cloud. Your love feels like food to my soul

You are aware I value you more than air because you have shown me how much you care by making me an heir and I feel like a billionaire in this love affair. I swear nobody out there will dare to compare with you my rare luminaire

Never met any that is half the woman you are and as I quaff of your love and because you are not a diamond in the rough, you make me feel like a chief among my peers. You make me laugh even when times are tough and make me call bluff of those who think I should have had enough

Assuaging my fear with each passing year, you have made me appear drunk without a drop of beer and fearless like a brigadier. I will commandeer whatever you find so dear and make all your worries disappear and veer you away from every wear and tear.

I am not in contest for your love because you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You are my crest of affection and my chest cannot contain all your zest even if compressed. I am blessed you are mine and I will stay away from all that you detest

I will always have something to say about the way you make me sway and Cupid will first betray love before I delay to tell you how much I love you from day to day. I will whisk you to fantasy land straight away and never allow you to stray

I still have something more to say my love.
