Olatuja Oloyede: Thinking About Love

- November 11, 2016

Love....sing to me your songs again

You have been the mystery of ages

You have weakened the noble minds

And hurried giants to their early graves

I see you in the eyes of the gods

I smell you in the hut of the enchantress

You were there at the dawn of time

You inspired the fall of Eden

You are the blindness of the griots

The darkness of the shrine

The silence of the deep

The weakness of the mighty

Could it be you

 that caused Samson his fall?

That cost Romeo his life?

That cost young lovers their fears

And old lovers their tears

I saw joint hands dance down the lane

The realm of love is a fascinating one

A labyrinth of uncertain destiny

Some lead to hell and some to heaven

Take heed as you travel down that way

You may be walking straight into Ur doom

Be careful when you go through the vast territory of love

Love is not blind so use your head.
