To My Lothario Poem by Adeosun Olamide

Lothario-
That dwells in the clouds
Is that your tears- I call rain

Lothario-
When shall shed this veil
And belong to my keen gaze
When shall
With that holy heart
Be unshy of your demon form
And be true to none than thyself
Come Lothario
For your bidder- she is blind
And your claws- can’t bleed her
Come Lothario
Before- I fade away


Lothario-
Are you in the breeze
Is that you- singing?

Lothario O Lothario
The bloom of rose
Why have you chose darkness?
Lothario O Lothario
The flames that enlivens
Why have you chose silence?
Ye give life to the seas
And pierce fingers of woods
But know Lothario- that I know
You sleep- when your demon wakes
Know- I bother not the ruin of roses
Nor fret at the slain of the lamps
Know I bother not- that the sea is possessed
And it decease the woods, enriching grave
I know Lothario- that you were cuffed
When your demon woke-
Come Lothario
For your bidder- can flee
And your demons can’t snare her
Come Lothario
Before I melt away

Lothario-
Are you in the stars
Is that you- winkling?

Come to me
Or should I come to you?
How so- that I can reach the stars
How so- to be with you
Lothario- I see you in the sea
I see you winkling- along the stars
Deep there- in the beautiful sea
And I shall come to you- My Lothario
To dwell in the shadow of your light
