George O. Obikoya

Ashes in eyes of love

A mellow face reveals

Gone the thick of haze

Little to show for pain

Rains for days of pain

A sweet face of aches

Tear not a gentle gaze

Let love now prevail

Moan not tears of joy

In eager simple ways

Tons of fondest love

Warm all souls again

A song cries it aches

Of love day by day

Even on an icy face

Smiles not far away

True love is yet sane

Pain ever so strange

Dreams of love soar

As huge a heart it is

Silence is soft allure

Souls filled with love

Now and then a song

Is ever out save vain

Color us so with love

Now and ever assure

One lost soul in pain

Finds love yet again

Mirror at last to see

It is so hard you say

Even to look again

A tired soul so pale

Mothers hear me cry

Fathers heed me too

Children to ever gain

Is what love we pray

Imbue all with love

So they share it too

Say how it’s so true

Joyful days sure wait

Suffer me not to fade

But pray hard to wait

Stray not even in pain

Stay strong everyday

Love much still reigns

In souls worn by pain

So weak and too frail

To melt alone in pain

Look again my friend

Who you are for real

Like us seeks to gain

To live and love again

Much of all we crave

Tows love far away

Left with much pain

We bear all in shame

As so much to change

We cast aside for vain

Left to wax and wane

Alone we fade away

The divine air of yore

Sifts melodies of life

Deep in timeless pits

Love alone to roam

Left a mystique day

For all near and far

As so deep in us all

To seek Amor again

Implore all for peace

For trust all to reign

Souls ever so frayed

With love so far away

Sorrow ever so near

Our hearts heavy still

We lay frail and lame

Yet we hope for gain

Let not trouble reign

We strive to stay sane

Not resign and leave

Our dear ones in pain

Love and life we relish

As even so in our grief

When all seem so vain

We rest assured okay

Why we marvel still

And await all to stray

Tells the gloom in us

That fails to go away

So let’s keep the faith

That keeps us all safe

Sync a celestial plane

And our earth on trail

Let love shine in you

Make someone’s day

As the glow in you

May save a new soul

Tell us now you are

With a soul so alive

For whom life is real

As for others so too

We ask all now again

Some shy even so to

Lost in our own ways

Hostage of our angst

Let it be in the past

Life takes hold anew

Hearts filled with love

Enough reason to live

Sure we feel mislaid

Keen to find our way

Miasma ever to blind

Our every move away

Yet with so much fog

And dreary days to go

Life must go on we say

Hope it’ll all be okay

So give hope a chance

Early for children too

To love life everyday

And keep pain away

Imbue all with will

To see joy in strive

Of life and evermore

And live to love again

Not so much remains

To gain in life so vain

Love values that reign

Show children the way

On slim rim glory lays

Here forever to gain

To pray for all so to do

The will lives again

In hearts ever so pure

Souls that seek divine

Lives not so disposed

To seek that so vain

In souls of those in us

Who life soon pays

Much for want to gain

But love for all again

For those who strive

Even with such pain

Help others in need

Souls all need pray

Even as they wilt so

Wail and try for all

And nil so to gain

Heroes they we say

Imbue the kids too

All with selfless love

For all near and far

To live life in full

Let all not be fazed

Life is not to blame

As what we do today

May trail us each day

Fill all souls with love

Make life one of hope

With much so to gain

It’s all yours to take

So seek and find you

Even in the mix of hay

Life often gives us all

To live lost in haze

Sure it is dear mate

Let joy wet your soul

As life renders to us

A lot the best to lure

Live it up all we say

It is all yours for real

One chance to live so

Another even if to go

We’ll sure be one day  

With our creator again

A final celestial train

An end to mortal pain

What my friend to say

Past a terrestrial lane

On a trip clear eternal

With love never sway

Say not this is strange

Even as we falter still

To come to terms so

And be at peace again

Yet, we know for real

We know down deep

In crypts in our hearts

Love saves our souls

Now we have a chance

To show love to us all

So near or far away

It is boundless we say

Show love and mercy

Even if only you feel

Let your soul for sure

Bond to them in need

Life is so good we say

It’s our hearts to feel

The gift love gives us

All mankind to gain  

Live not life in vain

Pray for you always

For the will to love

All and you again

It’ll sure be someday

Love comes your way

Just as you so adore

Fellows all and you

So, hold tight and pray

Let not pain degrade

The love in you we say

To give all so everyday
