A Story Of A Refreshingly Feisty Affection Poem by Melanie Emikohe

Thank You,

for laying down your shield
and allowed love poisoned arrows
from a blinded distance
throw shaky chances
without questioning their precision

for unfamiliar humility
unperturbed by slimy wrap
of words you generously give
disregards scorekeeping
while keeping my temperemental feet
within mutual gates

for normalizing imperfections
amused by my madness
as you soothe my embarassment
by blowing humane kisses
that it's not a taboo to pin
insignia of oddities

for not making me suffer
with unresolved guessing games
spelling out the terms
with kind hard truth
unannoyed by curiosity

for not reasoning
with what you can give
crushing hurdles
disobeying manners
to a flight of a feisty affection
romancing like a fairytale dream
