My name is Love
like the mat that gets dirty
that the feet of many may get clean
So, I am…
like the tyres that convey the vehicle
to and fro the journeys of life
but rarely gets washed and noticed
So, I am…
like the moon, one bright mighty moon,
standing alone right up
in the dark sky
every dingy night, as black as darkness
but illuminat-ing the paths
that man, good or bad,
may find his path to destiny.
So, I am…
My name is Love
simple, diminutive, almost unnoticed
disregarded, by self and yourselves
When the heavens crumble,
my head grows tall to stop it
from shattering, but no one notices.
My shoulders ache from too much pain and worries
they are mostly pain and worries meant not for me
but for self and yourselves
So, I am…
My name is Love
and my cross is heavy
yet, no one can help lift
I am the mat, the tyres and
the Moon
And just when my eyes shuts from weariness
when my shoulders begin to fall, frail
His voice resounds, the Sun, bold and warm,
“Go to sleep, my beloved,
Leave your pains and worries behind with me,
I’ll take care of them.
Sleep awhile and regain your power.
This day is mine as it is yours.
I’ll bear your pains and worries
that you may come up smiling and strong,
now and always.
Because Love, I love you.”
(Dedicated to someone I love, Ifeoluwa Salako, on her statistically significant birthday today, 17/10/2013. You’re my inspiration!)

Lakunle, this is whao! Nice concept and well crafted. I am impressed and I wish I can do this for some one too!
Now to Love, u are diminutive but in effect, even the giant cannot save golgotha-bound lives u save; Love, u are more that the giant. U are so pure and clean but sometimes u appear like something-brought-in-by-the-cat so that u can reach the down-trodden and the crushed; Love, u are more and easily accessible than the saints. However, Love, u are like a monster that everyone talks about but only few have seen. U are a virtue everyone claims to have but only few truly have just a nodding acquaintance of. Love u a are RARE VIRTUE!
A HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND MANY HAPPY RETURN OF THE DAY. IGBA ODUN, ODUN KAN O. C u on or b/4 Dec. 28.

Oh love,what a scandalous feelings in d world.it overseas all and all again in unification of the heart,starting from a point to an endless,bottomless pitch of the earth.Glad to be in love, then share your mind to that person cos you never know what this love has for two.
Happy birthday Ife dear! Wishing u many more wonderful years in the land of the living.
Love, u’re the advice my broda heeded when I scripted in “AGONIS”,these short verses;
“Wake ‘Lakunle
Wake ‘Bode
Wake ‘Ekiko
Wake’ Keem
Wake ‘Hannibal
Wake from this slithering journey
Into the land with thousand miles
Wake with your hearts immerse in honey
Find a maiden festooned with random smiles
And break her pot on the way to the stream
Where the water washes clean the heartbreaks
Of yesterday”
Now u know when u conjugated Lakzz,u activated a bond in the chains that held many. Now u belong to a family where words breathe life and all things beautiful are borne out of simple verses.
What can I say than a big THANK YOU for your kind words. I’m glad to be so honoured. *winks* all
