Dearest,
I know the waiting has been long
And being successful seems like
What is never to come
...

Dearest,
My heart was touched, even without you cutting through my chest
I heard you were coming towards me, but still I stayed
Until you came and went on your kneels and you begged
...

William Shakespeare,
He was a guru in his craft

He was so perfect that his words

This is Nigeria
Where the sounds of bomb blasts have become the music of the city
And the best music group goes to the group, Boko Haram
But each time there perform, lives are lost.
...

My thoughts are made of you, I think of you day and night
My eyes are marvelled by your rare beauty, I am yet to meet your kind
Must I wait till Wednesday so I can pour out my heart for you my heart?
And recently when I saw you looking so beautiful I was tempted to ask "Dearest, have you been feeding on make-ups"?
...

Dearest,
Your eyes have journeyed on a sleep that no man awakes from

We could cry you a river of tears
...
