*The woman's lips*
*-By Ogbu Vincent Chiedozie and Muyibat Yusuf Avosuahi*
A woman's lips is a patient storyteller
bringing joy to the songs of the baby
and cooling the heart of many a men
It stirs up like the touch
of hotwater on fresh wounds.
It rattles the battle cry of the rhymes
Of the singing pots and merry plates.
It invites by the lush colours
It paves it's path with
and disinvites by the spark
Of fire it issues when unclosed.
Patched weary cracked soul,
Your word make that even whole,
Children cry and the world don't know why,
They are longing for mama's lullaby,
In your lips lies the juicy to our hearts,
Something great lies in a woman's lips,
Your magical lips make the brave among us quiver,
Don't let it shut for the world will fall, oh never
A woman's lips is a soul-filler
Like the rattle of bones on bones
Spurring the man to greatness or doom
Like the way of the traffic
Casting up or down the child.
It's the opening chapter in the
terrific way of a man and woman
Swimming in the wet oceans of love.
You charge men to bring their best,
Oh you lips that do great magic,
Your narrate my story cause you know my plight,
I saw as the troop suddenly flick,
They said the master do wonders with her tongue,
You are a cliff with two great edge,
You burn and water hearts of men
I told them there is a cold fire burning in your lips,
They came nearer and you cast a spell in their minds,
Songs from you bring lust to their soul,
They are forever weak without your electrifying word to encourage,
They want the magic but they will forever chase a mirage,
You are embedded for you need that to raise the world,
You can't lose it for your beauty lies in your lips.
A woman's lips is a myth,
A challenge to explore its
Rewarding richness or get
roasted in its burning coals.
Its an oven of emotions
drawing the very lines of a valley of life and death.
