NOT A KNIFE FOR A WIFE


Matrimony ought to be something like union
Dwell in perfect love with your partner
Enjoying the bliss that comes with it
Just with the one you say the word I do to
As we chase the dream of living a fulfilled life

Dwelling in love harmony leading to an happy ending
But so many things abound around us today
A lot has been this last few decades
From horizon to the dusk of each day
What will use to know as “love” never the same way

Swept off under the carpet lost it all
To the dreams and aspiration of that wife
Who dwells with her man till the end of time
Staying for real inspite of the storms arising
Not a knife for a wife

If you are going on a journey of finding a wife
Be careful and go with your inner mind awake
So full of sight like the sight of an eagle
Never be blinded by love but have a sight of love
Many has been beaten by the rain of fake love

Not a knife for a wife
Not the one who will make life miserable for you
Not the one who cannot stand up for you in face off with her family and friends
Not the one whose love tank towards you has been empty
Not the one who cannot hold it down when the storms comes blowing

Not a knife for a wife
Not the one who chickened out when situation becomes unfair
Not the one who says a lot of good things about you and turn back to stab you
Not the one who lost the love in search of next available option
Not an harlot for a wife but Hannah for a wife

Not a knife for a wife
But a virtuous woman
Who keeps her man
And keeps him on his toe to live right
In becoming the man he is to her, her home and her children

Not A Knife for A Wife…which can of wife are you?

LOVING WITH PATIENT


There will be days when things will fall apart
There will be days when life will so sweet
That will thank God will had it this thing called love
And there will be days will the skies will smile back at us
There will be moment when we so much attached to each other

And moment flew with the moment will sha
And it seems it wont end but like a dream
Never last forever and fades away everything ends
There will be days will have some much living in midst of plenty
Loving with patient

But remember life wont continue to roll in that way
You want to remain right in that phase of life
You realize that the sweet sumcious moment just will never last
For a life time as you forge ahead in this journey called love
Sweet moment will come never forget the betterment
Patient in Love

There will be days when we got so much space
On the channel of telecommunication
To chat share pictures talk sending loads of airtime
Hanging out to beautiful place as long as the means to go this place is there
We got the world at our feet is us against the world

But there will be days when it seems nothing is working
Cash becomes low will cannot do all those things will do
Sure of a thing will go through the storms as will journey
On this journey of love, you both will face challenging times the storms will come
Patient in Love

Bear in mind when these started happening
Friends will come calling our private world
Families aren’t left out in the fight everyone has something to say to you
But left to you to stand up and defend me when they come with their criticisms
Patient in love

I AM BOUND TO YOU

Centuries of longing
I cried with yearning
Decades after decades
You still creep in my head!

One great love left me shattered
Soul of my soul I was dismembered
Promises written on the sands
Blown off the shore at the strands!

Tears washed away the years
Years gathered all my tears
Into a bucket of loneliness
Hoping one day it'll quench my thirst!

Blue moon came along
Shining through not for long
The shadow of longing Soul
Chanting with regrets before the midnight fall!

Deserted Soul hiding in sorrow
Tears flowing freely from her bone marrow
Stinging pain without disdain
Still whispering I AM BOUND TO YOU!
