Dayo's Declination


In one of the mag, 
I am used to buying, 
I followed this gag, 
And can't cease falsifying. 

The only girl;
Dayo chose to love, 
Never mind if her heart with his could curl, 
And bothers not of his awaiting grieve... 

Instead makes him a burl, 
While waiting for another to cleave. 
Unto him: HER forever pearl, 
Then it'll be easy to say goodbye in brief. 

To him that had been made to whirl;
In pool of hope, as he waits for life, 
That in whatever, they would endlessly hurl, 
And made strong, stronger by any tiff. 

Rather  all gains weigh loss twirl:
For chance, in case the to be leaves, 
It will be easy to swirl! 
Searching not, got hit in store a relief. 

And tangle, 
With Dayo,  
Her Mayor,  
Who is at stake to dangle:

For love--
The reason that can not be told, 
Would mark him a stiff, 
But won't get anyone responsible to hold. 

The one Dayo book in his logics:
The one he never doubt, 
Outdone him in tricks, 
To secure the soulmate as she scout. 

But why? If love be for real:
Let its SHOW stays and its TELL flee, 
And when love no more in heart resides, 
Let its SHOW disappears and its TELL decides.
