If You Choose To Fall In Love Poem by Ayobami Samuel Ogunsola

If you choose to fall in love
Fall in love with a poet like me
You will live in the pages of paper
Linger in the words of a song
Be engraved in the ink of a plot
Twisting your fate and heart
Into a tempestuous knot

If you choose to fall in love
Fall in love with a poet like me
I will hand you the world, drawn and painted in the oxymoron of a troubled mind, where nothing is simple not even a line

If you choose to fall in love
Fall in love with a poet like me
Your life will never be the same
I will weave the stories of yesterday in the webs of your hair

If you choose to fall in love
Fall in love with a poet like me
One who truer will never be;
Fall in love with a poet.....
With a poet like me
