POEMS

My Genie


When you woke me up at 7:15 that morning
I thought for sure I was in heaven
Cos that sweet voice of yours
Always makes me high

We started out when ears were six
We continued with four
I sang you a song, you sang me yours
That, made me want you more

I want to take me time with you
And hope that you with me
There are little things to learn
That make the big picture


There's a lot I want to tell you
But I'll say this
It's easy to say I love you
But I can show you I do


My favorite color is blue
Two of yours are Purple and Army green
When our colors come together
They form a perfect hue


You make my world so spiritual
You make my day so so fine
You make my hours so bright
You make my minutes count for something


So every minute I think of you
I smile a thousand smiles
We believe in each other
Without having to say it

Diamonds are a woman's best friend
What could be man's
But you my young lady
Are my heaven sent best friend


You sometimes say "eh"
And I tend to laugh at that
But whatever language we speak
We understand ourselves


I want to fly above
And conquer the world
I only ask of you
To be my copilot


From Over the Seas
To Nigeria and back
We went around the world
And still found each other


Let me quote a famous person (ME)
Who said:
"You are my genie,
Cos you made my dream come true.

My Princess

On 15th of September, 1993
I was busy at my work,
I took a break and looked up
And I saw those beautiful eyes.

Your eyes struck a chord
It played a melodious tune in my heart
It sang a Cupid song
And I've been dancing ever since.

How quick can one be
In achieving one's heart desire
How true can I be
In this little time I've hired.


I am a man of few words
So I wanted to show you
In my own little way
How much I LOVE U.


I ask myself, "what it is?"
Me says, not to ask myself but I
I say, it is the Character, Charisma and Countenance
Me says, it is the Laughter, Looks and Love


The day marched on
Our hearts began an eclipse
I steal serene moments
To make our hearts become one.


I talk to myself
I say, be Patient
I see the midnight
And I know that time waits for no man.


My Sun rises with you
You brighten my day and glow in my night
You own my every thought
And the joyful dreams I dream


Dreams come true, you know
The intelligence you possess says so
You exhibit that maturity
That shows in the things you do.


Voices fill the air around us
Listen to that one voice
'Cos the Almighty just called Collect
To tell me You are the Right One.


Allow me to quote
That great philosopher who said
"All the world's a jigsaw puzzle
And you are my favorite piece."


Dedicated to OMK.


U

In those quiet times
When all I think is U
My heart starts to flutter
And my body begins to shudder


Deep down below
I feel a way I don't remember
A feeling that carries me over
Till at night my head touches the pillow


I've known you
For just a while
But somewhere in the past
I think we have met


Maybe for Real
Maybe in my Dreams
But if that's the Case
My Dream has come true


Destiny,
I know not much about
But since you've crossed my path
I think I'll go the next mile


You have such a Soothing Voice
I crave to hear you speak
Just one word out of you
And I feel my world go round


'Am attracted to you in everyway
I hope you are to me
Something's definitely going on here
Are you ready to Party?



Dont just walk thru' my life.
