Samuel Oluwatobi Olatunji and The X



X:

Eyes like twin supernovae

S:

That attract your eyes like a TV

X:

Drawing me to her like a loaded lodestone

S:

I’m a puppet, pulled by her eyes as fine as a gemstone

X:

Inciting divine breaks in the rhythm of my heart

S:

Getting closer, and no person or power can pull us apart

X:

Apart from the part where we collide

Me acting like a coward, you like a child

S:

We become children of charmed camaraderie

Sharing coffee of childhood from the mug of memory

X:

Two lives tied till same death

Two souls sharing same breath

S:

Shackled souls, finding freedom and fun in fetters

Standing against the howling hurricane of haters

X:

As obstinate as a fallen dove

Prepared without parachutes to fall in love

NB: Poetry Play, a product of Artilogue in partnership with PenAStory, is a game in form of poetic dialogue for every poet on BBM. It is a game of two poets: one drops a line or more, and the other replies, flowing along until one of them gives up, or the poem gets too long. Every poem formed from this game will be published here (penastory.com) every Friday and Saturday. So poets, are you ready to play? If yes, contact Samuel via BBM: 7f5210ec
