Oyelakin Gbolahan Poems

I wish I could say more than I love you
Even though you know it’s true.
I wish I could tell you I’d do anything for you;
I’d climb the highest mountain,
...

I’ll lean on you and you on me,
Then we will be okay.
Friendship is one mind inhabiting two bodies,
One heart inhabiting two bodies.
...

People are often unreasonable, incoherent,
incoherent, illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
...

You came into my life so quick,
A gorgeous pleasant surprise,
I hoped wouldn’t give me the flick;
Then, a beautiful friendship did arise.
...

Independence, the hope of every nation;
A day of rejoice
When hilarity and delectation reigns.
A day of rejoice
...

Peace,

It is strange to think…
I have not seen you in a month.
...

Lay your head on the tender pillow in the night,
Close your eyes to see yourself in the wonderland like Alice;
Mind wide shut, eyes close up and perhaps, mouth partially sealed;
It takes a miracle to see the dawn of the day.
...

What sort of love is ‘tis?
That never gets hurt easily,
always patient and forgives;
it anticipates evil and quietly prevails.
...

- Quiet intended by the Sovereign (Creator) God
that man may realize how to abase
so as to ascend.
...

10.

God took the strength of a mountain,
The sedateness of the hills and valleys,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun;
...

O happy day that fixed our hope;
Our hope of witnessing the exodus of the John Bulls
From the land of the Queen,
Who almost made their visitation an habitation.
...

In the thick heavy tropical rainforest
Stands the grandest of all heroes,
Adorned with beauty indescribable,
Treasures and resources surpassing;
...

Unstabled like the tempest Labrado wind
Because it has been denied (or lost) true peace
Is the state of the troubled soul.
...

A Knight fell in love with a Duchess
One cool night when the stars were bright.
Hmmm, so thrilling to have stolen her heart before her sight.
All along, with much ado about nothing,
...

Let me be the bandage for your bleedings;
Let me be the ocean for youe tears;
Let me be the balm for your healing;
Let me be the song to still your fears;
...

Woman,
What a tender, fidel heart she has gotten;
So fragile that should be handled with great care.
It may be irreparably broken when jilted or slighted;
...

The gentle breeze of the air around me,
The sound of the ocean slowly rolling,
The beauty of the sunset,
The feel of the sand as I walk along a beach,
...

The excruciating pain of crucifixion,
The rain of blood on the death floor
Brings us the flood of divine mercy.
His pain our gain.
...

I have sailed through the whole universe,
Crossed the deepest seas and oceans,
Confronted the wildest sea rages and storms;
But no one like you.
...

You alone
Is like the sun and moon ordering my day and night respectively;
Is like the shinning stars illuminating my midnight;
Is like the chilled, cold water cooling my hot-melted throat;
...

The Best Poem Of Oyelakin Gbolahan

I Wish

I wish I could say more than I love you
Even though you know it’s true.
I wish I could tell you I’d do anything for you;
I’d climb the highest mountain,
Swim the deepest sea,
Cross the widest ocean,
Ride the cloudiest sky; so that you and I can be together for eternity.
I wish I could say more than I care,
No matter what, I’ll always be there for you
For the rest of my life,
And all of my days on earth.
I wish I could say more than I need you
Regardless my endeavours and demands of life.
I need you to be my wife;
I need you to be the mother of my seeds;
I need you to be my counselor, my angel, my only and my heart;
I need you to be my companion, my helper and my destiny-realizer;
I need you to be the only thing I have in the world,
Because when I have you I have all things.
I need you because you are the best thing
That can ever happen to me.
I need you in my life now and forever
To be together, always.
I wish I could say more than I wish
For if life only grants me one wish,
You know it’s cock-true and no gainsay
That you will be my wish;
For if genie appears to me
And ask me to make three wishes,
The host of Heaven can bear me witness
That I will request for YOU, YOU and YOU.
This is what I wish I could say,
But when you come my way,
Your striking, irresistible, conquering beauty
Takes my breath away and leaves me speechless.
When I look into your eyes,
You open the windows to my soul,
You touch my heart and make me whole.
I wish you will make my heart not a visitation
But an habitation forever,
Because I love your touch, your kiss, your embrace…
Please, don’t ever take them away or stay away.
When I walk in the door of your heart,
I’m going to say more…
I wish.
