Chapter 4: TWO
She drives me crazy
Jeddy Your smile is like the sun,Bringing light to every day,I am blessed to know you,Forever and always,Come what may.
My darling
All I want
Is to be your moon
And show you
All the little stars of my heart.
My love for you rides mountains,
So many ups and downs, emotions soar.
But one thing never changes,
My love for you, I cannot ignore. There are days I feel this is too such, And I don't know what to do.
But let's face it, who are we kidding, I want nothing else but you!
I will love you, Not starting with Your skin or Your organs or Your bones:
I will love madly first, Your naked soul.
Okay I promised the author a story from past but I couldn't help it. When I think of her they just come to mind
So our poem will be
I Carry Your Heart With Me(I Carry It In)
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
ifear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the
bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
BEAR WITH ME
I would like the readers to just go along with me as I put my feelings and memories into words
Our story starts with a young man, fresh out of service to a country he never wanted to serve in the first plays. He had examined his country and he could not just see anyway the country was going to get better but as true blood naija guy wetin man go do "E GO BETTER" the first thing I always when asked about my country is They are the most optimistic muda I have ever seen, the most resilient always believing tomorrow will be better than tomorrow even though he has no proof or no reason to believe, they smile in the face of
povertysuffering ,starvation,insecurity . They never loose their spirit. So I went back to my hometown no longer as corper but as another jobless youth. You know how in this our country a fresh graduate must hustle, so I started applying for a job everywhere but to no avail, went to different interviews no success until one of my bosses I went to his house in the usual format of jobless Nigeria boys to learn work"we called it HQ like the line"i know am a bad boy,I no get work, I dey smoke cigar and I dey blow skunk,and I know I get boys wey dey do wrongs we dey tie jigga, wey the shoot' gun'
Like all my niggers ,we jammed to the song singing along with omah lay of how bad boys we were trying to scam people of their hard earned money while we were busy getting high out of minds, Bringing all sort of girl home.
One morning i was busy with some chores before chow when boss called me to his room. And i remember his words like he is whispering in my ears, He said ,you know i know ur father,look urself na the kind of pikin ur papa born be this, u be graduate my guy, no dey compare urself with dem. Na their only way out be this but no be ur own. Go talk to ur papa. And he said I should play omah lays song again and really listen, so I did.She loves me when I'm drunk

No other, she be the one, she
Every time I try
