When two poets put their heads together
And pull out their pens to write
There’s no way to know the direction they’ll go
When it comes to the rhythm and rhyme

They could write about a simple theme
Or a deep one that makes you think
Their words might make you beam
Or take you to sorrow’s brink

Whatever they decide to confide
In this melding of the minds
It’s sure to indeed make you think
Or at least bring you closer to the light

When their words roll into sentences
You’ll be carried along on a magical tide
And surely when the end arrives
You’ll be glad you came along for the ride

By Mike Hauser and Mfena Ortswen

Your lips trace kisses along my hairline
You are cooing a nursery rhyme
I thought you may want to channel your inner John Legend
But you tell me the better things in life
Are simple, unforced, innocent
Like seeing through the eyes of a little child
And that was how you loved me
In pure devotion

Let’s be ravens
You and me
Let’s travel the world
Wild and free
Faces to the sun
Winds on our wings
Let’s do it for fun
Till our souls sing
Own the sky
Capture the land
I’ll be by your side
If you’ll take my hand
Let’s be two of a kind
You and me
Let’s live for love
Let’s love to live
Forever in bliss
Forever we’ll be
