Dowell Oba

A clear representation of nature's worth
Unadorned by false ointments, mostly sought
Quite extraordinary a portrait, so phenominal
Uncorrupted by sheer madness, very normal
...

With an ongoing ride through time
A verse to your salute I did mime
In recognition of a presence well spent
On a fading world of life given on rent
...

In the presence of danger
I sought for protection,
In an exposure to cold weather
I sought for shelter
...

My kind of girl stands upright
With straight legs as perfectly paired
Walking soundly like a marching bride
Through red carpets in the path of an aisle.
...

Sneaking in on crumbled fears
On quick finishes of immediate task
Shivering sharply at sudden squeak
Expectations false but relief restored.
...

In my mind lies a thought
a wonderful assumption
of an imaginary bump
so delightful and ecstatic
...

Having felt the joys of requited love
Running parallel lines to reciprocated love
For my love and darling loves me truly
From thy honesty of thy heart my one only
...

If my dearly beloved chooses
being harsh to lousy admirers
who cares, as long as
she's gentle towards me.
...

Calling you strange, an understatement
saying different, factual statement
both may seem less admirable
but makes you look more admirable
...

How terrifying a sight of it
on cute bed of mine lying still
sending shivers through my veins
you destroyer and taker of lives.
...

Love fades with a strict unturning will
on a mind set on turning back never
having experienced the tragedy of the heart
breaking sorrowfully like a world torn apart
...

A hi from you I so desire
Gallant Romeo, standing firm
Tickling my fancy at sudden sight
My beaming heart catching signals
...

Creating a picture of you in my mind
Is like composing an aesthetic work of creativity
With such perfection as losing any criticism
Cos your beauty is so astonishing!
...

A love to uphold
A crush to withhold
From deep within in a shape
So curved, like a bow of grape
...

Amidst the worries that stormest on
I lingered strong my deep shallow thought
Imagining what lies beneath my worry
Contemplating wonders of a never know ail
...

I must confess deary! deary!
That there's something about your hand,
That softens the grip of a snapping finger,
That moistens the palm of a roughy handy,
...

I noticed you from an observable position
In the face of that great lecture
It turned out to be a distraction
I couldn't help but gaze at your unique feature.
...

Hovering exultantly from the mid-night oil
Searching with eyes on pages of men
Quietly arrayed, your peaceful clamour
For a quest unknown to thee alone.
...

I would like to know you O Africa
so I can experience the good things
I've heard about you
and share sweet memories
...

We stay in the independence
Of our worlds,
Separately kept in our territory
Of common thoughts.
...
