Beauty

If you find beauty,

"Tell her she's captivating,

And her nature is like the stars

Shinning up above"

"Tell her she's the key to my world

If this world is meaningless,

Then she makes a lot of meaning to my empty heart."

"Her words can be tricking a times

But I've gone to learn from men who knows

Better than just praising her ."

I don't flatter

But I take my time to filter my words

For I dare not hurt her by my utterance

"Tell her,

She's the reason I  keep my feet meters away

Because I fear my present may make her uncomfortable.

See,I'm the lover boy  everyone talks about in the neighborhood.

With my hood on I mind my business pretending not to hear the drum beat

But deep down my legs are making moves and my body constantly rolling like the 

Hip hop dancers

I'm not an actor, but I always create a  scene at the junction down the street when ever I spin.

No one thinks I can love or be loved

They think I'm like the dark  lip guy who spend hours exhaling flames

When all I do is make pen bleed

I'm not like other guys who forcefully deprive a woman of her pride

But I'm left to bear the consequence of those who practice such when beauty flies away to save her dignity."

"Tell her,

I crave to see,and I wish the grave won't make it worse.

Because I'm sick already

Sick of missing her

Sick of thinking that she may never be mine

People say," love is achievable "

But I think I really want to earn her love

So I will fight every odds

To hold her tight to my self

It doesn't matter how much I've sunk in failure

And how much mud of disappointment has been throw at me

I don't think I want to fail in love

I will rather die finding her

Than end up with a beast called "love in disguise."
