MY KING – Nissi Odewumi

*Written from the point of view of an insecure friend*

You were my king,

I was your jester.

I was your today,

You were my forever.

You were my all,

I was your “something”.

I defended you,

When everyone rumored you were nothing,

I told them, you were something.

It’s so funny,

How you laughed at me,

When I wasn’t looking.

How you made a fool of me,

When my back was facing you.

But was I to believe those people who cautioned me against you,

And those your sweet little words,

That came out of your pretty little mouth.

I don’t know what to believe anymore.

Do you know what love is?

By

Marcelo Moraes Caetano

Our love, our reason

When we love, we are crimson
creatures in the shadows; weak bones.

we are masters and disciples,
walking without vehicles;

we stopped without care,
we love, even if we are not beloved; we dare.

we go from wave to wave, their sound,
following: the earth is round;

Do we know what to do?
For a moment, nothing but living soon.

We are fugitive wishes
hideout. Clean dishes.

Love is giving the other side
because only one never reborn; it glides.

Love is having your fingers in paradise
and the feet blind, without notice, in lies.

Nobody knows what love is,
nobody knows, only if we love. Only he sees.

Love makes us supreme; though,
even giants, we still grow …
