    SOME NIGHTS

    Some nights,

    A walk alone in the dark,

    A journey on the dark side,

    Millions thoughts in mind,

    Dancing to beats of the heart.

    The echoes of the flying birds,

    The night walker like a ghost,

    Bugling eyes like that of an Owl,

    Weird just like the Ghost bird.

    Some nights,

    Mysteries hidden in the dark,

    Evil deeds being legalized,

    And the night, maybe, or not,

    Some nights,

    A night in the dark of the day.

    Confused? Well, such is a life,

    That some nights, is in the dark.

    BLACK BEAUTY

    Yes! My beauty can cause chaos,
    But never will I make the wrong choice.
    Even if you're the sweetest guy,
    You might be my woe.

     

    Beauty attracts many,
    But with my senses, I know what's the best.
    My beauty may equal to all your riches, 
    But deep down in me! It's all about love.

     

    My dark skin doesn't make me stupid,
    Rather it makes you fall into drunken stupor.
    I'm an African, and I'm proud I'm,
    Because here in my land, beauty shines.

    WILD LOVE

     

    Love like an ice cream,

    Melts under the sun,

    And flows into the river;

    Never to return again.

     

    Floored by love,

    Too late to love.

    It doesn't rain all day;

    Lest it turns a malady.

     

    A toast to long life;

    A Farewell to love;

    Let the dead rest,

    And life goes on.

    DEATH OF AN ANGEL

     

    I'm out in the dark of the night,

    Looking up to the sky,

    To see you put on a smile;

    Above principalities where you're,

    And tell me that you still love me.

     

    Oh my beautiful love,

    I still wish to see you by my side,

    For as many years as the stars,

    But you've burned out like a candle,

    All you left is this pain in my heart.

     

    Death,

    Why did you make love sour?

    You turned my joy to mourning;

    Where is the pillar behind me?

    Why this emptiness of breath?

     

    My angel,

    Though your eyes are closed in death,

    Your love still burn in my heart,

    I wish you safe trip up to the air,

    Always remember me up there.
