Oh My World Poem by Raimi Babatunde

You are the one
The very one
I remember it all
The way we started
Those silly things
The chats; the calls
Our laughs, little fights
You are the only one

First it was strange
Until my life became incomplete
The "Have you eaten? "
Your wake up calls
Your goodnight kisses
They send me to fantasy land
A world of beautiful realisms

In my dreams I muse
I never want to wake up
When I see you dance
Your touch so tender
Your skin so soft
Your Manchester, on on point
And your lips, so spicy
And your arsenal, "Na die"
Baby, there is no me without you

Yay! I am in love
All our silly stuffs
Saying beautiful nonsense
I cherish all we shared
And the one we'll share
Locked in your arms
Just like a vapour
All challenges fades away
And nothing else matters but you

Now, you do this for me
Close your eyes
Imagine us both
On a lonely island
Faraway in the Caribbean
With the birds chipping
I held your hands
It is about going down

Still with closed eyes
I lead you on, walking barefooted
The waves coming strong
Throwing pebbles at us
The stars providing light
Is this the night?

How come it's just us
On this lonely island
Still with eyes closed
You surged forward
That I may be your sight
Like Usain Bolt I sprinted
I vowed to protect you tili fade

I don't know how it happened
But I found me on you
With hearts beating heavily
We both sweated profusely
In this cool ambience
It was the deadness of the night
The only sound, the waves

Now, with eyes opened
We could feel our breathe
Our heartbeats raced
With our eyes locked
We lost our defences
Your eyes closed slightly
And at that moment
I knew the time has come

I bowed to love
Tilted forward a little
Heart panting faster
Your head I held slightly
Threw caution to the wind
And made to kiss you
Involuntarily i closed my eyes
You also wanted me
I can't believe i woke up
It was just a dream
"Oh my world! "
