It Takes A Try! Poem by Bolami lawal

Tonight
I throw my heart on the gamble table
May be i could win; win so big
I have played the looser for too long
I do not know what it feels
To wear the crown
But then; it takes a try

Tonight
I throw my heart on the gamble table
May be the beautiful night
Would soothe my past
I have given so much of what i have
I doubt if there is anything left to give
But then; it takes a try

Tonight
I throw my heart on the gamble table
May be the music would play again
Perhaps; to lift my spirit
I have stopped my dance for so long
I can hardly tell how the rhythm feels
But then; it takes a try

Tonight
I throw my heart on the gamble table
May be the platter will spin my way
And change my stake
I have been through the heat; and
Am weary of the scorching sun
But then; it takes a try


And tonight might just be the night....
