Do You Really Want To Know? Poem by Ibrahim Bidu

Do you really want to know

What goes on in my mind

As you sit across from me girl?

If only you knew

How strongly I yearn:

To touch your tender hands,

Sit you comfortably on my lap,

Hold your elegant body in a tight embrace,

Feel your sweet smell on my face,

Brush my lips against your luscious lips,

Smoothen your long black beautiful hair,

Bite your graceful giraffe neck,

Lay your head on my chest

And allow you to eavesdropp on what my heart says.

But I’m afraid to do all these

For fear you might not reciprocate!

For how long I will suffer I can’t tell

But I hope it comes to an end one day.
