SPLINTERED JOY

Last night I slept hard
And awoke with a start
My heart was bleeding
For many things unseen


Then I remembered
The day we both encountered
Though we thought not of now
I look back and wonder how time flies

My life has always been a battleground
Till we met, and now I'm found
"Adenike", the one in whose bossom I rest
Assured all through lifes trials of a good night's rest

My heart bled, it bled for love
Because I met her with whom my soul belongs.
The girl who gave me sleepless nights for long
I have caught "funmilayo" she gives me joy.

Finally I smile, my heart is happy
She is now my pet, my one and only
If I get to spend my life with her, I wont be sorry
For through the tough times, our love keeps bubbling.

Valentine died for many
"Omolara" she is mightier than any
She excels above her peers
"Taiwo" the lifter of my head
