Everyone Asks For My Spouse, A Hope Ajagun Inspired Poem

Rating: 5.0


"Everyone asks for my spouse"
I say, she still lives in my dreams
I haven't yet found her.

May be one day
I will come across her -
a fair spotless damsel
with rings around her neck,
standing in a street corner
licking her ice cream...
Seeing me suddenly
She will call me out -
Hey Abdul, is it you?
Where have you been?
I come to you every night
in your loving dreams.
Come close to me
but do not touch me.
If you do, I will disapper
from your night long dreams.

I could not resist.
I was dying for her.
I touched, and lo!
There was no trace of her.
My two empty hands were
groping the air, foolishly.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The Spouse I Wanted - Poem by Hope Ajagun

Once upon a time
I saw a spotless fair damsel
With dimples and virtuous words
Emphatically I called her "good thing "
Her ringed neck was wow
How perfect could a damsel be
I love her to the moon and back
I was virtually drunk
And drawn to her speaking eyes

She is the spouse I wanted
But could not find her at dawn
What a sweet insipid dream
Almost two scores now
Everyone ask for my spouse
As age is no longer on my side...

-Hope Ajagun
