Just Someone Different Poem by Oyehan Opeyemi Akinkunmi

The pearl nor the diamonds in the jar
Matters not like the difference therewith,
If paired;
The pearl may
shine
glitter
even whither;
The diamonds
gleam
glow
even scowl;
Still nothing different, from pearl nor diamonds.

The smiles nor the cries on my gill
Matters not like the truth therein,
If only mated;
The smile may
be bright
attractive
even fake;
The cries
soar
buzz
even plus;
Still not a difference, smile nor cry.

Water, tea, coffee may quench my thirst;
But you forget to ask:
What could quench my thirst
For love,
For a life partner?

I want just someone different
Not the thick
Not the me
But someone commutual
That which to complete me.
