Delay Is No Denial Poem by Adebayo Akande Smartfingers

Delay is no denial
Amid sturdy desire
Rooted within steep
Deep, leap’d emotions you
beep’d me, freaked, I
creep’d across ‘Oceans’
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Peep’d at my phone, its you again!

the uncertain tone in your voice caus’d
a slight creak in my bone

Coz the stick of passion fell lame

With no fuel to feed its flame
Knowing its insane
This whole love thing
Will always flow to your ‘gain’
That’s the name of the game; your sole aim
That’s why you are anxious
and silly me is so oblivious
of the fact that i will go gaga
when my eager eyeball behold your mouthwatering ‘adder’
And your sappy mouth will say ‘haba’, we can always wait
This my fretful ear so much hate
Then my crazy drive will get shatter’d
But, … delay….is….not…..denial!
