I WILL WIN YOUR HEART ( DOUBLE TRIOLET) Dedicated to Ayinla Leah Olayinka

I will win your heart,
With berries and flowers

Valentine comes in beautiful art
I will win your heart.

Let not our souls come apart
Make this season ours
I will- win your heart-
With berries and flowers.

With berries- and flowers
We will roll down the aisle

Hearts flipping with joy, sharing laughter
With berries and flowers

Be your nightingale lover,
Make you feel so fly
With berries, and flowers
We will roll down the aisle

MY VALENTINE ( A TRIMERIC) Dedicated to Fapohunda Adefunke Adebusola

I'll catch you a moonbeam,
Dress you up with flowers and leaves
Sing you songs like a nightingale
This wonderful day of valentine


Dress you up with flowers and leaves,
I will, fly you up the rainbow's space,
Watch you fall into my arms while I...


Sing you songs like a nightingale,
To melt your cheeks down your spine...
A bowl of chips will ice the cake


This wonderful day of valentine
Our love is birthed on St's street
Basking in the euphoria of the day

A SINGLE DROP OF RAIN

In the balmy air of the twilight
My body and soul adventured
With a damp which promises of rain
The hurly-burly of the city seemed to be trapped in its closet.


I stepped out from the comfort of my bed
My hands flatly stretched and as hope smiled at me
A single drop of rain fell on my hands
And it glitters like the tears of love
Those usually expressed through your eyes.


With a single drop of rain
I felt catapulted into a whirlwind of tour
A tour of fame and glory second to non
One not to return from, any sooner.


How I wish all days can be promising as this friendly weather
But life is not always rosy
While caught up in my worries
A single drop of rain can make a difference
A lasting one like the coolness of your kiss on my lips.
