Can You Come Over? Poem by Raimi Babatunde

Can You Come Over?



Are you free today?
Before boredom overwhelms me
Can you come over?
The line went dead and silent
Until I heard the tiny voice
"Ok", give me a little while

Quickly I arranged my bed
My accessories imprisoned by dust
Finally, they got their freedom
With a sparkling new look
I changed the ambiance
With a nice and sweet spray

Waiting can be so long!
I felt like I've been waiting for years
The clock suddenly became slow
I followed all the tick tock
Till I heard the doorbell rang
Yea, who is it? Like I never knew

I suddenly became a stutterer
How can God package so much in one vessel?
I never knew i could be this courteous
Thank God only my shadow witnessed it
When she called my name
The truth, I died…..

Slowly she walked in like an Angel
Can I sit down she asked?
Yes, I am fine I answered
Then suddenly my brain came to life
She asked to sit
Yes please, I said to this damsel

Suddenly, I noticed a slight bulge
You will not put me to shame
You this shameless generator of generations
Quickly I made to arrest it
With my Christmas denim pant
And a tight faded jean

As she settled into the couch
That was the last thing I remembered
My mind traveled all over her
Her presence filled the house
She must have been curated on a Monday
After God finished creation on Sunday

So, what is going on with you?
Obviously, she was in the driver's seat
How can she bring the game to me?
Yet, I lost my composure
In my very own comfort zone
Never joke with the power of a woman

Can I share your seat?
She smiled, beckoned with her index finger
I quickly sank into the chair
To my amazement she was calm
She mildly held and stroked my hands
If this is a dream, please Lord, I don't want to wake up

At close range she could hear it
As my heartbeat raced faster than Michael Phelps
Come to Mummy she said
Without hesitation I moved like thunderbolt
Sank into her sweet arms
Then she planted a forehead kiss

As dawn drew closer
I found courage to ask
Please, will you stay over?
I could feel a crack in my voice
Seductively she smiled and retorted
No Sweety, I wish I could!

Why wouldn't she just stay?
My heart said from the inside
When the hour finally came
Together, we walked quietly
Goodbye my lover
Silently, I wished the day never ended
