You stole my heart
Akinola Ajani Jun 2015
Every night beneath the stars the story is the same
My heart and soul whisper one silent name
In many ways this is a very new territory
Many times I wonder if I’m still ambligatory
Why rove my thoughts beyond this last retreat?
Why feels my heart its long forgotten heat?
I opened my eyes and formed thee of angelic kind
Some emanation of the all beauteous mind
Back through the heights of pleasing sense I fell
When I saw an angel whom I called a girl
I bid my head call my heart to question
Truth be told I wasn’t used to this kind of tension
But I can no more suppress the emotions on my part
Now I excuse the blush and pour out all my heart
Heaven first taught letters for some lover’s aid
For the words left unsaid and the plans to be made
I live, I speak, and I breathe what love inspires
Warm from the soul and faithful to all its fires
How often when called to question have I said
Woe to all laws but those which love has made
And along you came to steal my noble heart
To prove for once that angels live on earth
To your charms I resign, to your lovely form I yield
Fair eyes and tempting looks, what power these two wield
Come with one glance of those enchanting eyes
Blot out the bright idea of the eternal skies
I beheld thee once; I prayed and asked for more
I have not the strength to stay away anymore
I thought I built a fortress, I called it impregnable
I felt I had a crystallized core, I named it impermeable
In one fleeting moment, the fortress was gone; the crystal was in your hand
I was taken aback; I had to ask myself where you found the magic wand
Your deluding eyes penetrate my soul and leave me hollow
Your graceful legs leave a trail asking me to follow
In seas of love my plunging soul is drowned
While my heart is ablaze and my head trembles round
In all things we do there might be a sense of regret
But love is sure the hardest science to forget
Once brave and proud, I now lack basic courage
Maybe I’ll walk up you after I put my soul on mortgage
Perhaps sometimes I dream of you, I tell no lies
To dream once more, I close my willing eyes
Come! With your looks, your words, relieve my woe
But even those are yours alone to bestow
When at certain moments, I remember your name
I ask myself again how I caught the flame
From opening skies, your ageless beauty shines
And springs forth my long forgotten flowing lines
Many times, I placed my pen above my heart’s desire
Not now though, all I know is a strange consuming fire
I love you more than life itself
In a way that I can’t explain to myself
I love you for your unique loveliness
I love you for your fiery tenderness
I love your dark alluring hair
I love your ***** so ample, your figure so rare
I love your special enchanting eyes
I love you truly I tell no lies
I love your swaying **** hips
I love your tempting sensuous lips
I love your charming inviting voice
I love you baby there’s no other choice
Not fame or glory, not adulation or praise, love is my only call
Sad to say but truth be told, if I lose thy love, I lose my all!

SILENCE
Akinola Ajani Nov 2015
Is there a song so sacred to the world?
A voice washed in waves of tranquility
Without words yet special in verse and rhyme
Hidden in nature’s surreal, powerful chorus
Cascading in sonorous whispers from an unknown realm
Bards and poets revere its ethereal beauty
And bow in awe of its eternal magic
A tongue unknown to those upon the earth
An imposing aura, an eerie tone
A signal, a symbol of special moments
Eternal song, we named it silence
Humans yearn to worship in silence
Learn to say prayers in silence
Say worship this silence
Spirits find voice in silence
The graveyard is silent
Do we make love in silence?
Or find love in silence
Shadows of heaven, oceans of silence
There’s danger in silence
Jungles bear witness, the hunted remember
There’s reward in silence
Hunters, predators, masters of silence
The night too loves silence
Brothers in spirit, lovers forever
Entwined by nature’s solemn existence
Is silence not darkness?
If we can only hear but do not understand
Unworthy humans beneath the sacred
There’s a reason for silence
Or there’s one behind it
Silence the reason, follow the rhythm
Our hearts beat in silence
Souls speak in silence
Can we listen to silence?
And savor the glory, breathe in the splendor
Immortal silence!
Worship this ambience
Bow down in reverence
To the song before time
Deeper than music, higher than poetry
I call it silence

CAMELTOE
Akinola Ajani Nov 2015
I know I’ll never be able to let you go
It’s scary but true that I love you so
I’m like a violin and you’re the bow
Missing you makes me feel so low
You own my heart I can’t say no
Nothing is promised and that’s my woe
You’re all I want that much I know
It surprises me that I want you so
When everyone thinks you’re a foe
It makes me smile that you’re my doe
Your ethereal voice makes me glow
My thoughts flow towards your *******
It hits my heart like a hammer blow
And leads to stirring down below
I can’t recall but I think it’s slow
I’m trying so hard but I can’t say no
I want to own your *******
And make it an ocean where I can row
I long to touch your *******
And feel your essence, watch it flow
In circles around your lovely hole
And you won’t stop if I don’t say so
Bury my head in your *******
Making you come to a place I know
Touch the depths of my noble soul
Then you’ll say that I told you so
I love all of you in every way I know
I’ll stay by your side never let you go
I’ll kneel in the sand just to let it show
I’ll sleep by your side, watch your tummy grow
Kiss you in the rain when you’re feeling low
When you’re now the violin and I’m the bow
Then you’ll say baby take my *******!!!

Decide
Akinola Ajani Jun 2015
There’s a suit between love and hate
The jury arrives in rows of eight
Religion arrives with colour and race
Politics displeased demands to be the ace
Culture and sports side with love and play
Achilles, olives and even Cassius clay
Tribe and caste vote to tell a lie
The jury rises, alas we have a tie!

Earn it
Akinola Ajani Jun 2015
Honour and shame from no condition rise
Act well your part for there your honour lies
Earn your stripes and listen to the wise
Praise undeserved is scandal in disguise
Brave the odds and reach for the stars
True greatness reflects the sacred scars
Leave the shade and bask in the sun
After the darkest hour comes the dawn

Omens
Akinola Ajani Jun 2015
Omens are whispers louder than advice
Ominous signs unlock the mind’s device
The fabric of the soul protects the heart
As soft velvet protects the maiden bride
Layers of white cascade from side to side
Desire is wet as night at last descends
Flesh to flesh, thighs part to please the king
Even then in church, he sought to make her sing

Shadows
Akinola Ajani Jun 2015
Night falls and our bodies go to sleep
Shadows descend to tell a tale so deep
Are there really mountains in the sky?
Have the clouds aligned to tell a lie?
Is love a shout into the void
A state of mind we all avoid
To save our hearts or so we claim
Not if but when we fall all the same

Tender Torment
Akinola Ajani Jun 2015
When at certain moments, I remember your name
I ask myself again how I caught the flame
Your deluding eyes penetrate my soul and leave me hollow
Your graceful legs leave a trail asking me to follow
Your feet left a mark on my noble heart
To prove for once that angels live on earth
Now and then, I sense the dawn of regret.
But love is sure the hardest science to forget

Dreams
Akinola Ajani Jun 2015
Before our eyes, dreams turn to dust
Nature knows which should come first
We wonder what makes iron rust
Delay perhaps is the greatest cost
Ambition says success is a must
Feeble minds say the world is not just
History instructs that all is not lost
Yet humans succumb to this great lust

Night
Akinola Ajani Jun 2015
The moon rules the eerie night
Though unseen it beams its light
A blue blanket with a million scars
We look up and call them stars
I see this name in eternal space
Perhaps even more, I see a face
A face, a name, that’s all I know
A blush, a smile in one single glow

Untitled
Akinola Ajani Jun 2015
The night is the blanket of the stars
All said and done, we all bear scars
Even the sky bleeds, we call it rain
So learn the trick and embrace the pain
Everything comes to those who wait
Time and chance will set the bait
Fuel the fire and **** the flame
Memories and dreams are not the same
A. Ajani
