You'Ve Pained My Hopes Poem by Charles Jagongo

You the tall one
Handsome son of the lake
A gap in between your teeth
Drives me wild when you laugh.

Your stride so sacred
The strides in the sandy beach
Footsteps so bewitching
Waves anger me
When they splash and wash.

Son of my mother in law
As stars I knew mouths
Would be fed by my breasts
The green eyed ogre
Away she drove you
And left my hopes in pain.

Is a note I got
I got from you
My loved one
So now I know.
