JUST BEFORE YOU LEAVE…




I just want you close

Where I can keep you from the cold

Wrap my arms tight around you

Until we become one, and not two

Place your head secure on my chest

Maybe gently slip my hands under your vest

Stroke your hair gently, maybe in ones and twos

With thoughts of how you I never want to loose

Feel your body warm up to mine

Feel us both mould into a straight line

Even as our hearts together beat in unison

Playing the tune of a love that defies reason

Echoing the desires of two hearts together bound

Telling the tale of how each other we found

I just want you close

Where I hope we can together grow old

It is sooooo much better if you decide not to leave. I'm doing all this to convince you to stay.

Hmmmmmm............(thinking if i should stay). Read my mind.... Look through it and consider if i have been treated well in the past for me to consider staying. Decisions are made based on combinations of past events and not necessarily present happenings. Past wounds, especially those yet to be healed ones will communicate more with the leg to leave but sweet words like yours might communicate with the heart and so a re think might be considered. You next blog should talk on thoughts surrounding why some leave and why others stay. For me i will stay all for you. :)

Merci, Mon ami

::: ...but your rival's offer is just too enticing? even though you try to keep me with this line! "Playing the tune of a love that defies reason" "Until we become one, and not two". I suspect you 'JUST' want me close for a night stand:::

Hi Tiwa,

I really like the poem and would definitely use it if I needed to convince my hubby to stay (by God’s Grace this wouldn’t be necessary in the future :) I very much like the second line of the poem where you express one of the reasons why you want the person to stay (so you can protect them by keeping them from the cold) – that’s an expression of unselfish love :)

A little in response to the poem I would like to share one of mine with you. In response because it gives ‘her’ an alternative when ‘he’ chooses to leave even though ‘she’ insists ‘he’ would stay… Let me know what you think, please…

Looking forward to reading more of your work :)
Luv,

This dwells more on the physical for me. Though I see an attempt in the last line to talk about a future (growing old together), my crooked mind could choose to read it as: "Hey, can we be shag mates for a reaaally long time?"

Otherwise, this is beautiful poetry, I suwear!!! And how come I'm just seeing it?

My Daily Bread

The body of a goddess...that's how I thought of her. With shoulders slightly broad; making you think of just the right amount of comfort, narrowing down to her waist...the tiniest I had ever seen....then the roundness of her buttocks, with a firmness that made you want to grab them hard. Watching her undress was pleasurable, caressing every part of her with my eyes, taking time to linger on all the right places...a goddess amongst men. She stepped into the bathroom, leaving me eagerly waiting for her reappearance. I wanted to have her now...I shifted to ease the pain throbbing in the bulge between my legs. I waited patiently for her return...longest moments of my life. Ah!!! there she was. I felt like prancing on her like a Lion on heat, but I had to wait...I knew I had to wait. I did not want to scare her off, that's why I had to be discreet - even while watching her. I looked at my time; 6.25am - it was almost time, five more minutes and he would be gone. I had watched them...

Impacting your world...

Just yesterday night I was watching CNN Heroes and I saw so many young people with great potential of their own who have so few opportunities to explore or express it. Still, they bravely persist in striving to make their mark on the world, even in contexts of deprivation and conflict. In the course of our lives we have the opportunity to meet and possibly interact with people who’ve made measurable impact in the world, including well-known experts, authors, researchers, journalists, scientists, innovators, business geniuses, and entrepreneurs. Yet among these world influencers are also everyday people who have found a special niche in which they’ve contributed at the highest level. It’s critical to note that people who’ve made a real difference aren’t all privileged, advantaged or “special” people. Many have come from disadvantaged families, and crushing circumstances, but have found ways to pick themselves up and rise above their circumstances (and their genes) to transform their o...

The Acknowledgement

Like from a distance, I could hear my mother’s cry…more like wailings. She sounded like a wounded lion that was going to scream her heart out, as she repeatedly screamed my name… Adeola! Adeola! Adeola!! Unshaken I stood there staring at the body of my father….or at least the man who used to be my father, until a few minutes ago. I willed myself back to the room and the activity around me…the lifeless body of my father lay on the bed, with a knife poking out of his chest. The crimson color of his blood gradually taking over the once ash colored pajamas he wore. I had just stabbed my father in the chest…with a force ad precision that left no room for his survival. ******************************************************************************** The sound of the bell rang through the long corridors signifying the time for counseling sessions. Reluctantly I got up from my bed, dragging through the process of wearing my flops and throwing my shirt on. Buttoning up with the speed of a...
