My Neighbor's Dearest Lock

Today , I opened my neighbor's dearest lock
though for many years i had to stalk
and for today's triumph i want to talk 
write ,sing and dance


it is that of a complex combination 
made from the hands of God
needing a man of a lot of determination 
and that is for sure whom i am
cause  i can withstand the most bitter rum 
and the heat that can cook yam

i did turn and twist 
tried again and again 
and as its spring clung and rung
it finally gave in

today when he went for work 
i crept and when to his door
and as my evil hands caressed it 
its beauty and elegance got me lost
for a moment i could not find myself
and wished to go forever

in my own found world
i felt this heavy thing in my chest
tightly clinging and felt like guilty
and here from the bible it was read
thou shall not covert thy neighbor's wife
