Caught Me Unaware Poem by Ifeoluwa Philips

I was in the road
slip off my legs
when top most closed the road
to the wind caged my my legs
I was unaware
when she came
I was blindly ware
that to me she came
I find her face veiled
thinking she was going through the full ray
I wait patiently in curiousness
to find your veiled removed
but my legs sticked and not be moved
I caught my heart in awareness
I still wait in the focus
not knowing that it was for live locust
I felt so ashamed of waiting
for life is beyond my faith
and running off to this fate
been afar of love am still waiting
if the heart broke again
and the realm is full of pain
to lost wasn't for lust
but the grains spread to lost
for a heart that love me
and never tell to me
where the shame off
my face in a phrase
old train got broke
broken the strike
now I know that love is blind
love is in dark
love is awaiting not
giving shamed of nought
I will still have to cane my heart
to hold the broken earth
veiled of love
for all I know since about love
is that love is scarce
even to hold down
