ÀMÒKÈ | Lambaba the Poet

Let me tell you a secret of a girl 

Whoes smile has crushed my heart 

Who has cursed me with bliss

And blind my darkness with her light.

When I found her—

A hue unseen before an unstoppable force hit me like a wave

Rays unto the window of my Plano-concave soul

An overture to a cascade of emotions.

When I found her 

I knew that we were meant to be

Our fate was set to be….

Friends and lovers.

In that first conversation 

Her heart was pure and kind

Her smile was syrupy and innocent

Her wit was well cultured.

When I found her

I know I have found the lost me

My sprit settled like dust

Joy reached the sole of my soul.

Àmókè is the purest soul angels have known

The prettiest face the sun has seen

The most subtle voice the wind has heard

Her grace radiates like a torch.

A lot of birds sing in the night sky

With different booming voice

But she’s the only one who has pull the strings of my heart

She’s beautiful like a flower.

A lot of fish swim in the ocean

But none have the idea of what I feel for her

A fine hand on soft skin could not compare

To the way my heart beats inside.

She water my hope with her love and care

In her eyes I see where my future lies

In her palm I will place my word

Loving her every minute of my life.

As I spill these simply rhymes

My mind goes over time and time

I hope this doesn’t seem too creepy

Just know what I write is true 

I have fallen deeply for her……
