World full of dreams

Cold night
Chilly skies
Frosty stars
Under our blanket
Or with the warmth of our partners
We try not to freeze
With the heat of our homes
We're sound sleep
And despite this fortunate things
There is a young girl laying on the street
Drifting into a world full of dreams

Banji Coker 

Die to feel alive

All he wanted was an escape
Far away from the pain
Far away from disappointment
Far away from reality
Far away from hate,
So, he seeks solace in the leaves
He seeks solace in the trees
He seeks solace in bottles
He seeks solace in drugs
Now Lost in an euphoria
A beautiful illusion
A wonderful fantasy
Where you have to die to feel alive

Banji Coker 

Her sonnet

Now beautiful was she
With compelling eyes and seductive lips
Most captivating thing you'll ever see
Being mesmerised by those rhythmic hips
She's always with a smile
Always  emitting life to those around
hoping to someday walk down the aisle
Never to be an object with its back to the ground
But all she attracts are vipers
Who drain her soul
And leave her with scars
Defeating her goal
Of being loved
Being alone is a problem that could never  be solved

Banji Coker 

Naive

Broken was her heart
Heart that was filled with scars
Scars gotten from hate and neglect
Neglect from parents and friends
Friends that loved her falling
Falling In love wasn't on her mind
Mind that needed to be inspired
Inspired by love
Love that was willing to be given by this guy
The guy she thought was naive
Naive that didn't deserve to be flawed
Though she was flawed, and thought she didn't deserve love
Not knowing that love was the cure

Girl with the dark skin

Well,
what can I say?
There she is
 With her laughs
With her smile
Her long hair
Her dark skin
Dont forger her Tailored dress
That's  what the world gets to see
But with me being a melancholy
I sense her fears
I feel She sees demons everywhere
And notice the evils in the eyes of men
So she keeps to herself
Waiting for a glimpse of hope to appear
And maybe one day she could breath goodness from the air

Heartbreak season

Where do we go from here?
What are we going to do?
Do we let go or do we stay?
Confused, neither of us knowing the way
Dont want to fight a lost course
Dont know if this is love
We might not find anyone better
This is Heartbreak season,
Hate this salty tears weather.
