Modupeola Williams Poems

Smile at me
that smile, that finds me in the crowd
The one that lights up the room
And makes the world not seem so loud
...

Friend, not many know me as well as you do
Not many do I trust as much as I trust you
You’ve stuck around for years and years
Are there when it counts and always cares
...

It would be my joy to break free
Find freedom from these waves of insanity
To break free, be like a bird
A white dove, to soar above the earth
...

Oh speak to me of the willow trees
which seem to whisper in summer's breeze
Speak to me of the mellow brooke
who's waters flow with gentle ease
...

My arms await your arms
Come to me my love
Though I may be dark as a raven
So unlike you my dove
...

I wanted to call you mine
But you did not wish to be mine
I wanted to hold you
But you did not wish to be held
...

Your eyes hypnotise me
They make it hard to move
I want to look away, for they seem to know all my secrets,
my innermost thoughts
...

Contracting and relaxing
muscles over muscle glide
Faster and faster
my feet and the earth colide
...

Heart be still don't rush
rush into another unfortunate crush and be broken, beaten, bruised
the but of the joke, falling for the ruse of true love
an empty chest disappointing anticipation
...

You are the answer
You are the truth
You hold all wisdom
It lies in you.
