Broken Road Led Me To Ife

BROKEN ROAD LED ME TO IFE (LOVE)

She was the broken road 
that led me straight to you.

SHE:
Laurel Baltimore rave about this road
like a lullaby, country music or an ode;
Smooth-sailing, beautifully appealing,
Firmly charming, endowed & stunning;
Credibly accepted and reverend,
She's the road I thought has no end,
The wise road endorsed by my family,
hoping me and her would live happily,
even the heavens didn't stop me
from threading this road for free,
Wind of confirmations breezed in
from all & sundry,
Our paths crossed, progressively but not in a hurry.

The words of wisdom offered me Wisdom
but verily verily Wisdom will fail you 
where Ife (Love) wouldn't but lift you.
She is the broken road that left her toil,
abandoned her garden, cut short her own joy, 
Spill her own alabaster box of oil
and wasted her sweat on the cushion of my heart,
even though she played her part
but never staying to enjoy her labour
and witness the edifice of God's favor.
She is the broken road that broke up from me,
But I'd be far gone with Ife (Love) when she can finally see.

YOU:
God bless the broken road 
that led me straight to you.

Equation solved: broken road sums-up my Ex
but thank God, Love, you're my next,
my forever & ever when & wherever;
Yes, I am not the blossoming best lover 
but I will be your best-ever-after forever.
You came to me after the road of recovery
all b'cos of Ifeoluwa toh koja oye 
(Love of God that passes all understanding).

God bless the broken road 
that led me straight to you.

Ife Love

I always thought I'd never get intoxicated,
But when I met you, things got complicated.
African queen you took away my every breath,
Caught me in the web of your romantic net;

"Awelewa" melanin slim and sexy,
Because of you I shunned all of them including Lexi
For I'm drunk having drank from your pot of wine,
Having fed fat with love like an overfed swine;

I never knew "Ife" could be this mysterious
For I set my eyes on you and got delirious.
"She must be a goddess of a kind", I thought
Like "Yeye Oshun" goddess with the purest clothe;

Now I'm yours and you're mine my chewing gum,
Cos when we're together our hearts beat like a talking drum.
Let's safari together, You and I in the plains of Serengeti,
And voyage on the beaches of "O ba je ti" ;

I always believed I couldn't get intoxicated,
But now I'm your captive cos things got complicated.
