LOVE
A feeling like no other
An essence that is unmatched
Love is like a potion...
To sip of it would be equivalent to consuming 1000 bottles of ecstacy
Love flies in unexpectedly
Like a beautiful phoenix ...
Perched on the windowsill of ones heart
Love arises a passion...
A passion that burns deep within ones soul
It ignites a fire that cannot be extinguished
A fire that burns effortlessly
Love is like a spell...
A spell that renders ones soul helpless
In the spell of love ...
Ones heart becomes a prisoner to its effect
Love is such my friend ...
It cannot be explained by mere words
For it surpasses all understanding
Which our minds cannot fathom...

LEAH JADE
Theresa had a quirk.
She had perfected the twerk.
She did it at work.
She wore a smirk.
And found out her boss had gone berserk.
She twerked over to find
Her partner in crime.
Leah didn't mind.
She fell in line.
And they twerked back over to finish this rhyme.
“The rope round Leah’s neck
Shall soon Leah’s life wreck’’:
Give Leah her first chance
For a funny dance
From a climbed stool
Removed as a rule…
Yes, Leah’s first full chance
For a last Quaint Dance…
And I shall advance
Of Course, Mark Evans,
Man of Relevance;
To stretch Leah’s mischance
With grins worse than lance
To wasted Leah raise
And the Devil praise!”
Intrepid damsel,
a heroine unsung.
A willing martyr
with courage
unrivalled.
Unransomed captive
with a ransom
infinite.
She gladly faces
death with eternity
in view.
Like her lover before her,
she chooses to be
a sacrificial lamb
to the slaughter.
Leah Sharibu,
the heroine unsung.
She that chooses to mortify
her passions
for timeless paradise.
Hardly daunted by
Kalashnikovs and
thunderous explosives,
she inherits a world
deemed abstract by
unfaithful adherents.
Painful thoughts come to mind
knowing my eyes are truly blind
When your body swerves, coinciding with my words
hear me speak and keep it JUDGEMENTAL
my weapon is a pen, and life is my pencil
mistakes are erased, pace your every breath
I know your every words, it's my escape
with nothing left, and there is only one who
tests such feelings so true, when reality breaks
for the beauty in you...
L-Loving, Life living
E- Enticing, Eccentric,
A- Always there, Artistic
H- Hero, Heart
A Girl of mass appeal
A Person that beats no other
A Friend that listens and gets the point
A Twin that is believing
A Cow...Don't ask!
A Poet that knows how to write.
She is my Friend, Twin, Cow and poet that I hear.
