IF ONLY
I I consulted the priests of Lebanon for my salvation, Thinking if paying them cowries will make them Speak to the flourish palm tree growing like cedar If only that's where my answer lies. I was told to come back in winter for the trees are withered. II I paid homage to the prisoner in Moreh's dunghill, Thinking they would be like Joseph the dreamer, Whose answers were revealed to him in dreams, Rather, i was told to dream on my own, That one's palm can never decieve it's owner's destiny, I dreamt, but got lost in my dreamland. III I paid tons of coins to the boat man in Havilah, Just to be in Egypt to see the literals, They told me to memorise all papyrus and cuneiforms, For my salvation lies in written words. I did, but no poetries i could write. IV I sailed off to space, Believing light is the answer, For in light secrecy is lucid, Grabbed spotlight, sunlight, starlight even moonlight, Yet all i got back was dark night. V If only i could i would have on my own, Grace i seek for oh lord to earn your salvation. . Thomas Oluwatosin © Fearless Lines

Unbreakable heart
Behind your back people are talking Using words that cut you down to size You want to fight back It's building inside you Holding you up Taking you hostage It's worth fighting for They'll try to take your pride Try to take your soul They'll try to take all the control They'll look you in the eyes Fill you full of lies Believe me they're gonna try So when you're feeling crazy And things fall apart Listen to your head Remember who you are You're the one You're the unbreakable heart

Пиріг із медом (UA)
Крокуй до раю, крокуй до мене. Гаряча кава, пиріг із медом. Або якщо забажаєш — ромашковий чай. Приходь до мене. Будь ласка. Приїжджай. Крокуй до двері, а я у чашку відріжу лимона ломтик. На столі — пиріг із медом, а мені найсолодший твій дотик.
