To Sing For Her Poem by Emmanuel Adekunle

if only i could dream and see her
i will be a chorister
if only she knows me
her life will be cool the more
it is no pride or boasting
i will sing a song of penchant
only to her

my life is a silly joke
cool inward, unknown outward
a person they think i am
her friends, even herself
not friends to me

To sing for her
maybe today or tomorrow
rings bell in my bewildered heart
a heart susceptible to resist sight
of her pretty self

If only i'm chanced to sing for her
then she will be a glad
quintessential epitome
to be emulated
she will be glad to make
the right choice
because
i'll live to sing for her
