IRHAWOO
Prince Ikpesu Feb 2020
Irha woo……..;
A rhyme reserved and isolated to only tough days,
Days of war;
Moments of unclothed horror,
Unforgettable fables of black and red.
Irha woo……
The secret lover and admirer of vengeance.

Would a man scare a leaf tossed by the wind?
Should a man hurt a child, and still stop him from shedding tears?
As water evaporates from the surface of an ocean,
So has my fears and weaknesses hidden her paths from my heart.
Till the heavens are no more, never again will they venture out of their slumber.

You have laid claim on a treasure you can never possess.
You have dared a dark part of me,
One, even the devil, in his drunken state will never venture equality against.
You have treaded on a path that even the bravest of lions will never tread on.
Irha woo………
For this single and ultimate reason,
I will show you how fragile and brief humanity is.
I will lead you astray from the path of life,
And introduce you, to one that leads to the wilderness of eternity.

For light, I will shut you from,
And in the most horror-some darkness, that human nature haven’t imagine,
I will keep you.
Till the heavens are no more,
Never again, will you appear.

PROUDLY NEGRO
Prince Ikpesu Feb 2020
I ‘m the ecstasy of unborn hopes and dreams
The frankincense in the moon
The tide in the ocean
I’m the reason for the morning
The pathway that leads to life
I’ m the epitome of wonders yet to be known

I’m the reason why the world will laugh and smile
I’m the ****** source of fragile dreams
The oracle that holds beauty in her palms
I’m the hope that ferment good tidings

I’m the origin of love and the source of all perfections
The future of the world
I’m the destiny of all human race
I’m the next unrevealed world power
I always carry on me, the color of all days
For all I  ever care, am a ***** and am proud to be

ONE NIGHT
Prince Ikpesu Feb 2020
It was a cold and solemn night.
The loneliness of the dark night and endless sounds of locust kept my adrenalines active.
Startled by my fears, I divorced patience from counting the stars as I walked.
This was when I found her.

At one sight of her unimaginable beauty,
My eyes were mine no more.
The rage of her unavoidable looks kept my eyes trapped and convicted.
In my helpless attempt to shake hands with her,
I forgot I had ever existed.
In the solitude of the night, withnessed by the stars and the moon alone, we had our first kiss.
Indeed, her lips taste better than the sweetest wine.

It was just one night.
Yet it seems to me like forever.
How could my existence forget the myriads and mysteries that accompanied her sight!

What have I done to myself?
It was just one night.
Yet I navigate through my thoughts, if I could find her again.
But, no. She seems far too gone.
I don’t know if our paths would ever cross again.
But I wish it do.
And even more, I sincerely wish what we shared could last for eternity.

I surely shall tell her name to the heavens.
If am blessed, I would find her again.
But if I don’t, I still will be grateful that I once found her in the cold night.
Even if it was just one night.

MY FEARS
Prince Ikpesu Feb 2020
The most adored among women
Your beauty would slay even the strongest of warriors
When you walk,
Even the heavens is intoxicated with your unimaginable beauty

Your smile blooms like the sun rise
I wish there is a word to describe this passion my heart feels for you
Without an atom hesitation i would quickly declare a war against my fears
And declare to you this wonderful feeling that makes my heart tremble without  an end.

Indeed upon your dark tanned skin
Lies the most tender and fragile attestation of an unpolluted love.
Surely, i would tell the heavens of your name.
So the angels would intercede on my behalf.

Because i have suffered a myriad of your unadulterated beauty.
An unforgiving feeling maimed by my passion.
A rare and uncompromising desire abandoned by my sentiments.
Perhaps that’s my fear.

MY PRINCESS
Prince Ikpesu Feb 2020
Poor me;
My heart has become a tool in the hands of fate,
Maybe it is true; nature is weak.
Like winds in the coast,
Am now an addict of her presence.

I look at her eyes and forget my existence.
It is true; the mystery men call love, has taken hold of my heart.
In the blooms of the sunrise,
My love for her springs awake,
Uncultured feelings that continuously mocks my courage
Could this be the magical feeling my grand mother once told me?

At the eclipse of her presence,
Her fragile hands make my lips tremble with fear.
My princess, please take away your beauty from my weak and helpless eyes:
For there in, is the fortress of my weakness.

I only prayed for a lover.
But in my princess is a slayer.
She slays me every second and restores me back with the blooms of her unequalled beauty.
A spirit and courage to savage all tender moments,
I ask from God.
Through pains and the first blood of innocence,
I would make my lover bound to me.
So she wouldn’t let me off her arms, even beyond the cost of rubies.

A BROKEN HEART
Prince Ikpesu Feb 2020
From a distance I leap,
But no, I can't find you.
The sun is rising.
The glimpse echoes in the deep of the far east.
The beautiful days and memories of the endless love we both shared is lost.

How did it come to this?
Like a night without the moon and stars,
I lay darkened.
Alas, my heart lingers with great pains.
Shadows and flames of surprise and sadness conquers my mind.

Yes, I can feel it; even in my spines.
It is over.
There is no hope at all.

A new light from the recesses of my pains shall spring forth.
And in the solitude of my anguish,

I would sail on.
Often as the sun rises and sets,
I would banish and bury the memories of your love.
And never in the blooms of history,
Would I recall to it.

SUN AND MOON
Prince Ikpesu Feb 2020
I miss your presence so much
For it feels so bad knowing we have become but distant lovers
Just like the sun and moon
We only see, but a reflection of our shadows
It melts my heart indeed
How the ****** love, we both shared has faded away

When I stretch forth my hand to hold you
Like a gazelle in a green pasture, you are nowhere around my sight
Alas;
time has stolen and robbed us of the sweet memories we once shared

I close my eyes and all I see is a mirage of the lost fill of love
Sometimes, I wish we can grow old together
But then I realize am hallucinating

A million times, with a solemn voice i cried out
Hoping you would hear me
And come back to heal the injury your absence has inflicted on my heart
But all I see is a remnant of those sweet times
Indeed, it is with deep regret, pain and unbelief
Knowing we are, but like the sun and moon
And so we have been designed to be.

A LOVE DEClARATION
Prince Ikpesu Feb 2020
Man:    My princess, I love you even beyond the sunset
            If your love taste like wine,
            I will always be intoxicated by it.
            Just what if, it is to come like fury?
            Like a blast,
            It will unleash its fury, and consume the forest to ashes.

Woman:        My prince and my lord.
            You say the words,
            But even the heavens can tell you don’t mean it.
            It is a crystal picture of deception.
            Your love is so deceptive.
            Perhaps, an apathy of melancholy, my heart brands it.
            The sensation of what you call love,
            Is with a thousand and one pains.

Man:                My queen and my perfection,
           The secret reason behind every smile my face bear,
           The source of my strength and happiness,
           Can fire burn without yielding smoke?
           Can the ocean flow without its tide?
           Or can the earth exist without the firmaments?
          My precious beloved, my pride and my everything,
          If your love is the air I breathe in,
           I swear on my existence,
           I cannot live a moment without you by my side.

Woman:     My eternity, my rare diamond, and my purest of treasures,
           Your confession for love, sweeps me off my feet,
          The awesome smell and splendor of your presence,
          Has made my heart tremble and terrify at the blast of your              
          incomparable personality.
          Your golden declaration,
          Flatters  my heart with the hopes of being with you.
           My sweetheart and my heaven sent,
          In the absence of any hesitation,
          I wish to affirm my unequalled love for  you alone.
          My perfection, I love you so much

AMAJU
Prince Ikpesu Feb 2020
Amaju;
The pride and beauty of all days
In your innocent and unadulterated eyes
I have seen the age and immortality of the sun and the moon.

The incomparable blast of your unabated smile
Acquaints my heart with an acquiescing admiration
Indeed your beauty is priceless and devoid of sentiment.
....

— The End —
