You Are My Almond Poem by Augustus Billy Mutebesi

Lend me your fright
And I shall sad with you
And when you delight
Make the joy mine too.

I am a tiller of an almond,
Barricaded from tempest.
The world is my land.
And you my conquest.

The almond grows
Slow but swift.
Each old sunset flows
Into a newer day and gift.

Time will yield her hours
And world her beauty see,
The dull replaced by flowers
The wind has made it free.

If such a time can come
Before your heart elopes,
Remember who I am
But first remember us.

So, lend me your fright
And I shall sad with you
But when you delight
Make the joy mine too.
