This poem expresses love in the most deepest, truest and emotional way to titillate and swell your heart with pleasant thoughts.
To You My Love
My Asanwa,
Let me swim on the breath that comes from your mouth
And paddle to safety by the twitching of your eyelid
Let me pack the sorrows of your heart
And dump it in the river of clouds
To be forgotten for eternity
I will awake all night
To stare at the prettiness of your face
I will shut my ears with your words
And write my desires on your heart
All of me, I will lay on the table of your soul
And together we shall climb the steps of love
Forever entwined in its sweetness
Gorgeous is the color of your lips
Your eyes are painted in lusty shadows
You dance like Ugomma, the most endowed maiden
Whose hips twist and turn in succulent pleasure
Each night I shout your name in my dreams
Like a lunatic struck with a bout of agwu,
Our story shall be told as folktales
Under the eyes of the moon
And the stars will sit as witnesses to celebrate our union
Your love is sweet madness to my eyes
For my soul begs to nestle in your warmth
Swear to me this day that your heart will beat only for me
Nneoma, Nneoma
I will reach the heavens
And pluck the leaf of love for your everlasting delight
I will shake hands with the gods one and all
Their smiles I shall pack in the bag
To share with your kins-men
Sweet one, go to the gate of my heart
Lock it with your key
And chain our love with the veins of your heart
For my soul is surrendered in your care
I will willingly walk the walks with my last breath
For your soul to live
Cos tonight, I smell your love all over me
