You saw value in the under-valued
It seemed that you missed, mis-prioritized
Cause you said peace were in pieces
And you were eased even in hisses
Not upset, your mind was set
On a people you saw though they were about to ‘saw’ you.

You saw fools as beautifuls
You, Readied to exhaust your blood on logs
Who were blind to light, soaked in lies
Arrogant trots, arrogant to truth
By default, wanted to remain difficult
Rabbi! They taught and fought
Above all you kept your gaze while they abhored your grace

Yet carrying the cross,you weren’t crossed
You hung it on your shoulders, you hung our sins.
Took the weight, panted at every wait.
Made us the salt oh! how you sought us through your sores
In a bid to be our love out of the laws
We took the last drop of your blood till you dropped- dead.

Your Eternal blood
Oh! Such Eternal love
As God came among men
Became lowly for us to live in his glory
And as he rose, we became his host
So he freely gives us all that he holds

Our dear rose rose, He lives
To all that believes, no fear lives
As this gospel is preached to all our reach
That Jesus died, Jesus rose, Jesus lives
So we preach, in his finished work, we live
One that can’t be silenced, even while men deny in silence
Howbeit, the greatest feat is lit!

Some days it feels like I’m outnumbered by them, these butterflies!

Their consistent sketches in my stomach  makes way for the impromptu giggles, these butterflies!

Laughing without a reason has become a norm and now ‘that call’ now comes with a glow, these butterflies!

Lo! They come as an invasion along with his voice and soothing words and at this point their drawings are intense, these butterflies!

Their two wings draw me so pure a red, now can I see the two sides to love? these butterflies!

Now all my other things come in this shape as they deny me of knowing what’s unclear, these butterflies!

Sadly, the Unclear starts to become more unclear as his fingers approaches me, these butterflies!

Now the rythm to the song ‘All I see is you’ is fading, these butterflies!

What to do with you butterflies, i’d  try to draw away from you so I don’t drown in your fantasies? these butterflies!

Surely you aren’t the compass for my thoughts and decisions. My focus is above you, these butterflies!

Alas I see! You can be of different species and colour as you come through different men- I don’t plan on Polygamy, these butterflies!

I see you clearly and now know you aren’t mine but of many and might leave me soon enough, these butterflies!

– You are safer in love when you do more choices than Emotions

You are not the fairest of all
No, certainly not the tallest of all
Nay not the smartest of all
Not even a guitarist at all
And a comedian, nothing as such in all.

Howbeit, your scent differs
And your face infers
What I see, a Godly cephas
Curled up in yourself, you play your solfas
Your Solfas in my heart i never suffer
Daily cracked up by you, like unfunn
y stutters.
In your words, I have been unduly altered.

Yea ! Today, tomorrow
I might meet a fair ‘Munroe’
Garnished with words, not so unruly
His hands on original strings of which is playing
Muscled up in humorous laughing
Yea perfectly moulded in courteous appeal
And might glow like a star uphill
But not more than a star among many, I see.
Ever would he match? Thus only you I see

As I stroll down this road
I would meet better men
Fairer, Taller
More handsome
But you my love, surpass them all
You stand out glowing, my different glow
Nothing sounds like you nor scents like you
Dearest of all
No one is you!

Today, tomorrow
I’ve chosen you, I choose you
My love, my choice
Let the earth echo it
You are my choice, my love.
Howbeit, the dreaded storm rages
Still you, my choice
Of which I stand, so long Heaven permits me.
I CHOOSE TO LOVE YOU

Uncertainties cross my boundaries
As fear echoes in my background
Aware I’m a first timer
Very ready to tear out every bit of me
Every bit of the me I want to be

However it’s my boundaries
It’s my ‘me’
And they are going nowhere without my consent
Turn on the lights let’s dance
They are going nowhere without my consent

We’d never know until we try
Hey fear, whether or not you tag along
I’m forging onwards
Whether or not you sing a song
I’ve got a tune to dance to

You might call disappointments and failures your sons
And send them as my taunts
Howbeit,  I call them my goons
Cause you set no rules for me
Therefore I rule you out of my muse
