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

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.

What?

What?
What could have happened?
What could be the reason?
What could have gone wrong?
That made tears roll from his eyes
That made dust settle on his hair
That made everyone look at him in fear.

What?
What made him beg?
What made him not care?
What brought him here?
What took his pride away?

Banji Coker 

We were

we were great
we were  beautiful
We were amazing
We were special
It felt like a movie
It felt like a dream
It felt like a fantasy
It felt like it wasn't real
time went by
Reality set in
We let go of that beautiful feeling
Now life has no meaning

Fate

He's out on a cold night
Wishing upon the stars
She's down on her knees
Praying for something heavenly
The cold grips his bone
Her tears began to flow
Their pain echoed throughout the universe
They needed something to save their lives
Just then a shooting star passed by
God decided to here their cry
Things started to align
All they needed was a sign
Fates were set in place
Circumstances began to rearrange
He saw her eyes
She saw his smile
Their world came alive
That moment, they lived forever,  this love was never going to die
