If I Had Known... Poem by Owoeye Taiwo Bisola

If I had known the love I was searching for in your vacant eyes was right before me,
I wouldn't have encapsulated all of my love inside that rocky quarter of your heart,
I would have waited for love to seek me, find me and hurl me into your warm and frosted embrace.

If I had known the jewel I was hunting for at the ne plus ultra of your heart was nigh,
I wouldn't have wallowed in the the wildness of love flooded with withered flowers,
I would have held back from your clutches of concupiscence and scrutinize your hollow glower.
