LONELINESS BY OLADELE MARYAM

Friend Twilight and evening bell Jingling and screaming like a rose of jungle Then came a gentle breeze tap behind my gentle skin Alas! There stood my helper And journey through the memory lane But I ignored for I believe my time has gone long ago. And stood there my helper, A man like Angel A beautiful one at that! Every woman's dream and imagination An angel and a savior. Then a sharp pain arouse in me I shall not die as foolish lovers do Near, far wherever you are I believe that my heart linger Though hitching heart takes time to heal But my angel never give up It's like he was made for me Though my mind and heart won't let me rest Thinking about him gives me goosebumps Looking at him makes my blood boil But I disagree with my heart For am afraid of another rejection The more closer the less my pain Being with him melt all my worries away I feel at ease when with him Though I didn't understand my feelings Nor wish to define my looks for him When with him, all eyes became jealous of me Wishing he were theirs not mine. Friend Like eventide that bear the ancient tales The moon came out beautiful and unique We sat on the tree under the moonlight Our hearts keep whispering I felt nervous, then his heart spoke through his mouth My mind and heart keeps racing My emotions are naked Taking me out of my mind. Friend I feel the silence of love The moonlight birds won't stop singing I wish I could pretend not to hear their song But my ear could not agreeing with me. Nightingale! Bird of comfort, his song calm my mind But not for long. A feeling I never felt arouse in me Then in my weakness, I found my strength And found myself in a pool of love A new day has come Brought a new light to my life My entire life, I was finally someone's dream His love for me was like a stream of ocean He is a mystery I want to solve My world feel at ease when with him An angel created for me My days were filled with happiness and love A dream never seen nor feel came true.
