Remember?
How my eyes could caress your soul
How our minds became one being
How we did not need to guess
Remember?
How I would touch you there
How I would set you on fire
How I was all you needed ad infinitum
Remember?
How your zeniths were like life!
How your body craved mine
How we would simultaneously soar
Remember?
Our plans for us?
Our faith when we looked at us?
Those loving, unspoken vows?
Remember?
What happened to us?!
Why do we still bother?
Nothing is as it was.
………
Now we have nothing to talk about
We used to jabber and babble
These days it’s like we hurt our mouth
Tiny issues typically erupt in trouble.
……….
Lo hearts; now calcified into stone
Are we trapped, or fighting for ‘us’?
Sex and passion… Long gone
Politeness used to conceal animus
Unfaithfulness is not sex alone.
Why man and woman matter serious?
Na just one habit dey bring problem,
When you operate ‘me’ instead of ‘us’
Na there love dey begin condemn.
°°°°°°°°°°
Reason this man and woman matter
Na selfishness dey bring palava
If you no dey involve ya partner
E no go tay, una go soon scatter.
°°°°°°°°°°
Man and woman hear my voice
Love na conscious decision
Loyalty and fidelity na ya choice
You go choose friction abi passion?
Lovemaking or sex
In Abu Dhabi or Zanzibar
Half a dozen; or six
We are what we are.
°°°°°°°
We are deeper than sorrow
What we do has no cure
Love we cannot disavow
No one will ever love you more.
~~~~~~~
Sit on your throne Khaleesi
I; I am, decrees it
Lo… We are growing within thee
We are perfect; we are complete.
“““`
Lovemaking or sex
In Maui or Libya
Half a dozen; or six
We are what we are.
I am like an assassin
That is reluctant to cause hurt
I am like a dragon
Holding its own jaws shut.
×°×°
I have an inferno within
Raging, crackling tongues of fire
Your love Vesuvius, mine Krakatoa!
×°×
That is why I am silent
My words will break your spirit.

I am trying not to end us.

There is a quota
It will be met one way or another
By you or another
This need must be met.
Said quota is a desire
Arguably a burning need
Disagree all you want
This need must be met.
It mostly sets the sexes askew
They become inept umpires
Regulating psychological needs
This need must be met.
The woman must talk
The man must have sex
Each at moments deemed ludicrous
This need must be met.
Bleak ice-blue walls thickening still
All frosty; naught moist nor turgid
So cold. So polite. Desolate…
I have left her
I should be with you
Yet we are bereft…
It should be you here
It was all for us
Pyrrhic this victory.
Bleak ice-blue walls thickening still
All frosty; naught moist nor turgid
So cold. So polite. Desolate…
