If i'm a sunflower
You are my sun
Your warmth & light enlightens me
& Bestows energy to my soul
When you rise up
I always turn to see your face
When you come to me in the morning
I really start growing,my darling
When you come to me in the noon
Floating,tossing & dancing in front of you
When your rays kiss me
I bow down my head and shy
When your brightness hugs me
I happily move and bloom
When your light shades
By God my face fades
When you hide behind the clouds
My crying voice louds
When you become sad
I also feel so bad
When in the evening you show red light
Me turn pale,old & lose my sight
When you go away to home
My loneliness starts killing me
When you say good bye
I finally wither,fall & die

I sit and remember
Of how you were a crucial member
A part of, a bit of
The smiles I formed
The laughters I conned
I sit and remember

What I feel is best spoken
Not written
Best walked
Not ridden
If wishes I'd have every kind of horse
If permitted I'd use every kind of force
Just to get you
Give that smile back and respect you.

Love is a bed of roses
But you forgot roses have thorns
You were pricked and went away crying
I was left, never stopped trying
But I was zoned
Boxed in a circle called friend
Yes I sit and remember

Moments when our love touched
Affection kissed
And care caressed our feelings
We valued eachother and just like a shilling
We owned our world's currency
Then came inflation-we crumbled

I remember
You bought a teddy
Fused your name and mine to give birth to GreWan
I remember you telling of an endless together
I sit and remember and I ask
What happened?

I sit and remember
Of how my mother smiled at your sight
Of how every effort to get you back
Led to a fight
Silence, tears, anger, fears, lows, darkness
I sit and remember and wish for that candle to light
Give this darkened heart some light

Everyday
All I did in every way
Was to please no one but you
Take time to think it through
All I ever did was to love you

At times
I would look at you and stare
Just your smile lit me up like a flare
Thoughts of losing you were my worst nightmares
All I ever did was care

I have never understood
After all the love I gave
All I got back was so much hate
You were the reason why I did
All I ever did

My loyalty to you wasted
Efforts never appreciated
Were the circumstances understandable
Or were they really complicated
To love and care for you
Was all I ever did

#love #care #hurt

They asked me if I was planning to stay with you forever
And I told them music is eternal
And playing this tune will be reminding me of you
You're like Fela Kuti and Salif Keita on a mixtape
Or Stevie Wonder and Smokie Robinson on Def Jam auto tune
You're my music
And as I am about to give highest accolade to essence of being and balance
Bear with me
Sit still as I take you to depths where oceans of lyric and rhyme
Are brought down by tide
Into this slowly throbbing heart
And the music of the sun
Is made clear in the reflection of our eyes
I can see the notes dancing
Like ecstasies aroused by the kicks and snares of an old school beat
Like messages found in a calypso
Dance with me
Remind me like the rhythm of the night that you'll last forever
And the streaks of light from dawn shan't be seen
Till I nestle in thine arms
So play me the dead man's tune
You're my music.
