If a kiss
Akinwale David Akinkunmi 1995 (Benue)
If a kiss was poison, I'd be doomed from the start,
For I'd never be able to resist the pull of your heart.
The sweetness of your lips, the softness of your touch,
Would be a temptation too great, that I couldn't clutch.
For even if I knew the danger that lay ahead,
The allure of your love, would leave me misled.
The risk of a kiss, that could bring me to my knees,
Would be worth it, just to feel your love and its ease.
But if a kiss was poison, and its venom ran deep,
I'd still take the risk, for a love that I'd keep.
For in your embrace, I find my sanctuary,
And I'd be willing to face any adversary.
So if a kiss was poison, I'd still take the chance,
To feel your love and its sweet romance.
For in your arms, I find my salvation,
And I'd risk it all, for that sweet sensation.
