Love sits waiting for a call All longs for love to call What makes love answer Motive or motion? The call was made And all became slayed Drowned in her embrace The bond is strong Love stuck close Knowing the heart is fickle Choice or decision? Made in a second Distance created The gap widens Who will build the bridge Love or lost? The decision stood still Love became a facade Embedded in the heart of a few The light became dim The voice weak Love speaks from within Only a few listened Cos only the few heard Time became old  Many were lost The tale went round Love was dead Love kept calling  Few heard Still -Ayo Obi

Perfect Imperfection  Lost amidst the crowd  All in the search of my reality I thought I know who I am Boosted about my exploits Pleasures that brought quilt  Moments that pierced through my soul Thought I had it all together I got deeper Couldn't find myself All became dim Can't see far Losing sight Couldn't see the light At the end of the tunnel  The journey became weary Had no place to call home No friend to call my own I struggle as i couldn't make this walk on my own I needed a saviour The one that will fix my sight Light my path And walk with me through it all -Ayo Obi

When it's time for you to leave here When it's time to leave your job When it's time to leave your home When it's time to leave your neighborhood When it's time to leave this planet Make sure it mattered that you were ever even here The only thing we know is that while we are here let's do something with it While we are here let's love and let's love a little harder While we are here let's give and let's give a little more While we are here let's get to doing what really matters   -Ayo Obi Photo Credit:  Brand Quarterly

Lay it down The pain and the shame Resting at his feet Cast your cares and put your worries to vain The one who sits Took it all away Those burdens are not yours to bear The shame ,the guilt Come as you are Rest in his embrace As you trust him to heal the hurts and pain And double the gain -Ayo Obi

As i close my eyes to sleep I remember everything That caused my heart to sing And my heart to plead The blessings of each day And the lessons of mid day The reality of my hustle And the benevolence of my struggle I am grateful for the sun that smite by noon day It reminds me that the runs shall soon pay I keep going each day Cos i know i was made for great The labour that is pay's pain Will lead to great gain -Ayo Obi Photo credit:  GreatGain

She says she isn't good enough Cos she thought am a perfect diamond jewel without no cut She doesn't know the cuts are wrapped around the edges To her it's a beauty What she doesn't know is that the beauty Is all part of the odds If only she knows what I've been through  To become all that she sees She would know it's all part of it all Once i was buried in so much darkness Wondering when i will be found I was as dark as darkness Without any idea of light All i knew was this thick dark cloud To reach me you will have to dig deep  Beyond the surface No one knew i existed Until someone dug deep Brought me out Fired me hot Cut me deep Then cooled me out I am what you see But not all you see Beyond the odds I'm glad you did -Ayo Obi Photo Credit:  Pravoslavie

HeartBreak Even though it's over I still can't get over you You keep me awake all night Wondering where it all went south The thought of your smile and the sparkle in your eyes Gosh, is it really over? Every smile reminds me of you Your eccentric laughter echoes in my heart As my heart seeks a home I am reminded i miss you And the companionship we share -Ayo Obi Photo Credit: Honey Coach

Today I remember  Like yesterday it was As we sat and merry Half a dozen ago The confusion in your eyes As you decide the question  A yes or a maybe Or rather still a no More than a minute Your answer stood still Then the wait was over As you said let's go The joy that followed I still can't hold The expression on your face  Makes my heart so cold The sparks in your eyes  As i behold my own A thousand words Can't express how i feel About you darling. All i can say is. . . I💕u    -Ayo Obi
