THE WRITER'S PERSPECTIVE

I’m not like the other guys that sweet talk I’m no good at it, no, not at all I’m not them who tell you what you’ll like to hear; lies Unh! Unh! Words like that aren’t close to my lips Everything I say to you is everything I feel I may not be able to tell you in perfect words, but I can express it by showing ‘I love you’ is never enough; in fact they’re mere words There is so much bottled up inside of me, and I just want to share it Share it only with you To be honest, I can’t swim across the pacific for you Definitely, I can’t climb to the top of any mountain, I’m no climber Of course you wouldn’t expect me to walk through fire Sincerely I cannot promise you only good times Bad times will come; it doesn’t mean us the end But of all this, I can promise I will be with you now and until death parts I’ll be your shoulders when you cry I’ll carry you on, when it seems you can’t go any further I’ll be there the times you need me the most You would b

There's nothing like the old days, some how it just seems better than now. So much for the 21st century: I remember back in the days when i was a little boy The TV was always fun to watch, in fact it was all i ever wanted to do all day after school There was a time when we got value for money I remember when transport fare was five naira I reminisce of the days when songs made sense and had meaning I can never forget my friend and I fighting war battles with toy soldiers Everyday I remember it just like it used to be. I remember the days when electricity wasn't this bad Once upon a time the Super eagles were a great team There was a time when the word 'sex' was sacred I cannot but remember Christmas growing up I will never forget the day when Nigeria beat Brazil; A moment to be endeared I remember the time the beach used to be a family affair There was a time when Nigeria had integrity I remember the days when life was a lot more fun and happy Why can't we just go

Today I set out,on a journey of love and friendship Which ever one, its hers to decide,whether she feels like I do or otherwise Today is the day if it was worth all the effort I'm at her door,like I'm supposed to knock But my hands are numb,God let my will not fail me now Thoughts in my head;we'll do it just like we have rehearsed alright! To my reality,really,I am starting to choke, right in front of her door My legs trembling,it feels like just falling to the floor NO!NO!NO!,there's no turning back now,anyways, it might be too late already. Make today your own chance,be steady Here goes,knock!knock!knock!mmph! The door opens,there she stands in all her awe and splendor From her face,its already like she knows,probably she already has her answer My heart is racing,my mind is blank,my body's weak,but the time is now I try to look into her eyes,but the floor is all I keep staring at The same old thought keeps coming back,the one that makes me scared,happy,and at the

When I see you,you make me want to stop and stare You know it's amazing how you cause traffic just by the way you dress I'm looking;am mesmerized by the clothes you wear Honestly you make a man fall in-love at first sight Every time you walk by,you always look your best Any time you come around me,I get so restless Everyone and everything round me gets blur Your appearance alone gives me clarity At the same time,I open my mouth to speak but all do is stutter Oh! how silly of me,what was I thinking; that was so lame All you do is smile at me And this got me thinking,maybe you also do feel the same At last I find the courage to speak Please! I wouldn't want you to freak To be sincere,this is a first for me Seriously,I don't know how it goes but I don't want to ruin my chances with you either It's funny when people say love is blind,as for me I can see I can see beauty and dignity inside and out I can see grace and purity all round you I see pe
