IN THE NAME OF LOVE
Dum, Terwase Simon (Delox). 1996 (Benue)
Love is fighting all that you dare,
If you really want to show care,
To the only one you hold so dear,
Holding hands and walking so near.
Love is when her talk causes you to smile,
When you're together, you can walk a mile,
When you dream of her, you crossed river Nile,
When you're sad, she's the only reason to smile.
Love is no compulsion but only attention,
Simplified only with some beautiful emotions,
You don't have to worry about divination,
If you so much believed in your intuition.
Love is when you look deep into her eyes,
And you discovered that's where the truth lies,
And you just can't help control your butterflies,
But only wish to develop wings and fly.
Love is when u woke in the middle of the night,
And discover she's more than what you thought,
Then you smile cause you know you're not in lust,
And you became happy with all the sleeps you lost.
Love is when their little act melts your heart,
When all you envisage is winning their hearts,
Offering yourself as a prisoner in their hearts,
Creating a bond that can never depart.
About this poem
This poem is written to inspire people on love. To let people know that, love isn't something you give up easily. But again, not something you gain by compelling act but some act of care giving with beautiful emotions and attention.
