ROSES ARE RED

ROSES ARE RED

©Adeolu Adesanya Feb 2014

Roses are red

You are black, blue and bruised

Is love ever painful, or we are?

Roses are red

You are Black, I am White

Why should love have any colour?

Roses are red

But some comes in pink and white

Why is love never straightforward?

Roses are red

Then it turns brown and withered away

Why can't love last forever?

see my girl

see the stars
perfect with no scars
see the sky
beautifully sparse, and so high
see my girl
unequal to any pearl

see the sea
endless, wild and so free
feel the wind
same, with its own mind
see my girl
my head she tips to burl

see my eyes
it radiates her, now wise
feel my palms
it has been schooled, now calm
see my girl
I now fair better to any earl

see the clouds
going grey like the crowds
feel my pulse
pacing faster than any horse
see my girl
always there to break my fall

I BELIEVE

I BELIEVE

Let's life a stormy sea

And its wind a turmoil be

I will fly and float away

I will swim and sail away.

Transformed dreams and hopes like butterflies

to fly so far like clouds above, 

I see them soar, wing free 

my heart at last will cry no more, 

My soul released I soar in love.

I can see obstacles my stepping stones 

And treasures like sea pebbles 

Glistering and heralding my glory

As I walk on waters of victory. 

I'm a butterfly cascading high

Over slime, stain and shame

Let the mud sling a colourful rays

In grandiose display I rest my case.
