From Lagos, With Love
The mosquitoes in Mushin,
Vampires at midnight—
Telling a love story;
Between your body
And their proboscis
The feeling, so painful,
Keeps you
On your toes
Till the next
Morning.
I Was There
In that playground,
With dirt on your fingers
Unsure of what the world really is
Your smile as
Beautiful as the rainbow
I was there
Time rolled by,
You became
A walking delight,
The fight was hard
You stole men’s heart
I was there
When you were in pain,
I prayed for you
Your heart bled, mine did too
You couldn’t hold my hands
When you wanted to
But I was there
The wreck you’ve been since I left
Leaving you confused
And hateful
You cried
I was there
Soon enough
You will forget me
When you hear
The wind
And feel the breeze
But remember,
I was there.
