Love Was You Poem by segun Johnson Ozique

Back in the journey of time I went once again
Back to the creaking bed of you, I, four legs, one heart
To the time when no nights or day passed in vain
To a time so strong was the feeling returning home to you, was
Of joy in pail of drunken happiness, cherry bounce and oloroso
To the time weary days were white washed by your thirty-two greats
To the warmth, in ice temperature, only kitten eyes harbours
To the days of envelopment by two potently developing projectiles
To...you must remember, the kitchen scenes of loving affection
The spar on choice of what to cook, the greasy mess after, ... yuk;
Meal that always came out good, tasty, and luxuriously loaded
O, you must remember well too, the rituals of the bed berth
Of the tugs of pillows, the throws, the toss and wrap around morning after
Of long hours of small pleasant talks on trifles as if being transported in galaxy
Of those tormenting cradle song laced with hunting devotion and desire
But, the love of you was not of need; to have had you, just having you; was all
And as I bid you farewell and God’s speed in your fresh life journey
I want to thank you for so mealy and delightful a time; was, like a blessed toast
