POEMS OF SOUL
WHAT A PLUNGE, by Odewale Oluseyi
Lagos, Nigeria
Up in the air I flung,
while the spring-board
flapped with marked aggression.
I began to experience descension,
my fear as a novice started it's ascension.
I saw the blue pool far off,
it seemed shallower than before.
1 second gone, I had a second thought,
to go right back to the top,
the urge to swim, not there anymore,
but my body paid no attention,
it kept diving on.
2 seconds gone, yet breaking thro' with force,
an eventual landing too sure,
the hungry water ready to eat me up.
I felt no qualms.
Splash!... I dropped headlong, with a swift turn
to position my buttocks on the floor.

OUR LOVE, by Kate and Katie, Ohio
Nov. 25, 2002

Do you know how much I love you?
You should known how much I care
Cause' when we aren't together
I'm always wishing you were there

Can you tell you make me happy?
Always brightening my days
I don't know just how you do it
But you have a million ways

Should I show this love forever?
Please tell me it won't die
How could I live without you
Knowing you were once at my side

But for now I'm satisfied
With the love that we both share
Our hearts show a connection
Lets always keep it there
