The cafè

Sitting outside

We people watch

Sip on long conversations

Smiling at each other listening to

Cassandra and light Blue and Green

Not thinking about tomorrow, but now

Autumn leaves, sky, whispers, peace, God

Knowing this is what we have and all we have

We sip never wanting this moment to ever, ever

end

Yes it's you. There's something about you. The glow that shapes your head. The curls, the kink of your hair that prove your crown with a million profound gestures.

The way you look at me. Or at least how I've imagined. And the many hours I've daydreamed  us not wanting this day to ever, ever end. - Olu

Just My Social media

Just My Social Media

Each day on my cellphone I watch her as she passes by

I say to myself you're such a lucky guy,

To have her on the Gram is truly a dream come true

out of all the fellas on the web she belongs to you.

But it was Just my social media,

once again runnin' away with me.

It was just my social media runnin' away with me. Oo

Soon we'll be married and raise a family (Oh yeah)

A cozy shared account on Facebook with two pages maybe three.

I tell you I can visualize it all

this couldn't be a dream for too real it all seems;

But it was Just my social media once again runnin' way with me.

Tell you it was just my social media runnin' away with me.

Ev'ry night on my knees I pray Dear Lord, Hear my plea;

Don't ever let Mark Zuckerberg take her love from me or I would surely die.

Her love is heavenly, when she ❤ my commentary,

I hear a tender rhapsody; but in reality she ain't even think'n bout me.

Just my social media once again runnin' way with me.

Tell you it was just my social media runnin' away with me.

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, can't forget her

Just my social media once again runnin' way with me.

Tell you it was just my social media runnin' away with me. - Olúwale

Day Dreaming

May I look

In the morning

your feet and the curl of your ankle

the soft curve of your brown calf and behind your knees, around your thighs and the rolling C shape of your rear and hips

after noon and before lunch

I need to see you

look at you

At night.......slowly

Dressed in brown from birth

Watch your proud belly smile and giggle when you laugh

See your warm breast stare back at me with wanting desiring eyes, moist with anticipation

want and need

Your full throat and long like a flute

And your lips God's pillow that lead me to rest when you speak to me and tell me I'm all you ever needed and loved

Don't turn your face from me

The quick turn of your nose and deep forever eyes

Your eyes hold me captive when I look into them. I'm wrapped in your soul when you look at me. I can see us. I can see me twirled in the kink of your hair

I want to look at you

But mostly, firstly

Let me look at who you are

Your spirit

Your gesturing spirit

Your brave mind and the fearlessness from which you conjure magic and cosmic thought

Let me see where time began

The Afrikan before Afrikah

The invisible birth place deep inside where life

springs and leaps forth like a newly born gazelle

Open up to me

Expose your fears and insecurities

Lay them bare

out in front

Stretch wide

And release them like hungry excited doves to the sky on Easter morning

Free them

I want to see your resurrection and kneel

You are the light

I am the eye that gives you shape and form

U-n-I

You and I
