Beyond The Clouds Poem by Abdulmueed Balogun

I am yours, I am already yours
friendship can't bear the burden anymore, it's too heavy a mountain for her neck.

She might collapse like limber belief.

You're mine, you're already mine
friendship should bind us together
no more.

She could rubble like the wall of Jericho.

I can't keep shutting down my heart everytime you come around
and that feeling makes me so sick.
I can't keep being a prisoner in

friendship's prison.
You shouldn't keep hiding under the cloud of pretence too,

because love is written all over your face
friendship should go away into the bush

and show not again her face.

for we're beyond the cloud of friendship, let love burgeon with no hardship.
