Your love falls like petals
In the beddings of my heart.
With you in my head,
I feel thousand years younger upon your lips.
Your love falls like dews
in the floors of my hearts.
This love, yours and mine, a beautiful thing as is,
Plants the art of your singularities
In the polarities of my feelings
As the beads of null and void
Cannot distort the 1001,1101,1011…
Binary of our affection:
This is our eternity.
I am you as you are me.
I am a lone beast in the
Arena of your mind.
You are the singing bird
In the cage of my heart.
We are covalent bond
Like the beards and the chin.
We are beards and the chin
You are the single arrow
In the quiver of my heart.
I am the many bushes
In the forest of your mind.
We are like candle
Which can’t do without its wick:
I am the candle; you are the wick.
Or bombs do without atoms:
We are the atoms making bombs.
I am uranium235.
You are uranium238:
Inseparable isotopes!
We are electric in a magnetic flux;
We are locked in one field.
You are not a half-read book
Let us merge thoughts,
Let our breath undress our thoughts,
Where feelings abound in unlimited boundary
You are not a half-read book,
I know you are woman-enough
And I am man-enough
Let us show how __ and__ we are,
You are my Woman-Dela; I, your Man-Dela
We are lovers with bag packs of emotions.
You, a drawn rainbow in heart of turmoil
The sweet fast bud only felt in the heart
The beat that beats around the mind
Let us, you and me merge thoughts
As you dwell in my garden as me reside in your bosom.
So many times, you have been abused in Abuja
If we can’t have Sex in Sussex, why the greed pile in Gombe?
If we can’t find Bridge in Cambridge, why the bomb blasts in Borno?
There is always a question, there is also an answer.
Even in these seasons, you are a yield in a season of love
Let us walk hand in hand through the day with the sun
And in the night with its moon with its shadows
Let us dance, soul to soul through creeks and catacombs
Let us sleep face to face that today will be for tomorrow
And wake in the evergreen dawn of you and me.
But,
We will not be like father
Sitting in black and white on the wall.
No smiles, no emotion, just nothing; he is there
Knocked into himself with cancers and diseases.
We will not be this photograph.
We will not be like mother
Swimming in men’s galleries.
Imprisoned in cell phones, news papers and nets,
Telling father of his weaknesses in-between his legs.
We will not be this photograph.
Neither will we be like those whose
Faces are lingering memories
Reminding us, every day and now, to
Bid them byes at their graceful dive into nothingness.
We will not be this photograph.
We will be like you and me, this you and me,
Where heart breaks are far gone, not near, not near.
Where smiles and time are forever still, forever still.
We will make the memories ourselves, a sweet one.
Our eyes will never close and there will be no
Tear-paints splattered on our faces.
We will be this photograph where only words bleed.
We will be this photograph.
And
With you always in my head
I feel thousand years younger upon your lips.
Just like father confessed to mother:
I am the only alter boy in your alter;
I am your last destination.

Beautiful poem. Well done.
This is inspiring. Good one!
Metaphors and similes beautifully applied in eclectic distances. A nice poem worth reading.
This poem is a magnus opus for a season such as this.
This is great. Must be from your heart for those alter egos.
Nice
An excellent poem embellished with figurative language.The similes,metaphors, personifications,and symbols make the message very clear.
this is really great, with a beautiful step by step discription of a sweet proposed journey of love.. great one!
A metaphysical poem, as usual, lingering between logic and affection.
Wonderful. God bless and prosper you. Thank you for flying high the flag handed over to you by your father Prof. Ezenwa Ohaeto, my brother and true friend.l know the sky wont even limit you.
Fantastic piece, I absorbed the bond of Love as I tripped into the pool of Love.

Undeniably, the poem is good and well built. Nice imagery and good use of advanced literary devices. As a poet myself, I must confess “your work is packed full” but however, I hope that lady you wrote about is already your wife and not just a bed-mate. Christian virtures apply still, you know. Love can be beautiful, amazing and mind blowing “God’s way”. Also you don’t have to compromise Christian standard, to obtain glory and fame. You can get these in doubles, “God’s way” too.
Keep it up, men! See you @ the top.
Beautifully coined words and gallant literary devices that paints love so much in a way that can make a single wish to be in love . Superb imaginative piece !
