Half Of My Soul Poem by Muideen Lanre Dauda

You are half of my soul

You and I my dear,
We have two bodies,
But we only have one soul.

You are mine under the sun.
I’m yours beneath the moon.

You are my dreams at night.
And all day I think only about you.

We may be two distinct people
Yet, you are my constant companion.

You and I have two distinct shapes
But together we a one heart and one mind.

I’m half, and you are my other half.
Whenever you are away,
I always move back and forth
And, I don’t know what to do.

You change like the moon does
— In seven days.

I'm reflective like the sea reflects stars at night.

Do you know that you and I live our lives
— Like the sea lives with its blues?

You and I are like the sun and the moon.

You and I settle our differences
Like the moon and the sun
Settle their split, into
An eclipse on the sky.

You and I are like rain and air.
These, always help each other
In case, fire ignites its grudges.

We shouldn’t be like water and fire.
These are our great enemies on a bad day.
We should be like fire and wood.
These burn red-coals to stop the cold.

For me, you are like the breeze on a hot day.
For you, I'm like rain during a drought.

I’m like a thief who breaks into your heart.
You are the one, whom God has sent
To deliver to me my soul.

You are the purifier of my white-blood cells.
I'm the one who improves of your red blood cells.
