Butterflies
At the crest and its lowest part We've been together. Knowledge we've acquired and also forgotten. You've impelled me, You've wrapped me in cotton, You've adhered to our loads, and you've ignored them. We've argued like there's no tomorrow, We've been responsible and we've laid blames. We've drank in monsoonal rain, we've felt barriers and felt the same. Joy and pain, our compatibilities. Guilt and shame, our motivations. All these bought into the game, Freedom we seek for we've laid claim. We are butterflies For we originated from the same cocoon. . Thomas Oluwatosin © Fearless Lines

I Saw a Dream
I saw a dream, and there were you, And there was coldness in your eyes. I wonder what a kind of true Made you become as cold as ice. And later I looked back to get a sense This empty glance was hellish call of past. It used to be a high and strong defense Against the world, the pain and me at last. You looked at me, and peering in your soul, I felt so lonely, as something vital died. And that is what I fear most of all - That nothing gentle will remain inside. Inside of you. Inside of me as well. And nothing will be said to farewell.

Намалюю
Намалюю тобі на обличчі Сонця промені, хмари і гай... Я не зраджую тій своїй звичці І ніколи не зраджу. Це край. Небо синє, бурхливе і темне, Наче очі твої, наче рай. Наче сховище, замок підземний. Наче темний і лячний той край. Намалюю тобі на обличчі, На сторінці клітинку. Портрет... Я не зраджую тій своїй звичці, Знов малюю лиш твій силует.
