I Promised You A Poem Poem by Bamukunda Hillary

I PROMISED YOU A POEM.
.
I promised you a poem not a song
Of words smearednot with wit
But pun that fumes of your name
With the lyrics that goes with your voice
.
I promised you a poem not a folk tale
Embedded with tatoos that depict you
And colours that reflects your smile
Paintings that assumes your beauty
Andwords that reclaim your scent.
.
This is what i promised
A poem not Noel
With commas that will stop you,
An exclaimation at your beauty,
A hypen for a handshake
An apostrophe for a hug
Brackets for the embrace
And quotations for what we share
That way the promise will compromised
Me and you shall be that poem
