My Burning Heart Poem by Timothy Ogunsakin

At the first sight meeting
When I look’d forward to seeing
The radiance of her smiling face
The pleasing clarity of the cadence of her voice

The bride going to her groom was her aunt
I stood gazing her slim movement like a soldier ant
That fails its obligation.

At the second chance sight meeting
My heart throbbed of a strong feeling;
There she was, at her grandfather’s exit
Running intermittently for his rite.

I inquired of her
She is like her mother.
A tete a tete with her, absolutely abortive after departing
I became worried after parting.

Feeling her on my heart
Becomes Shadrach’s hearth
That’s why I shall never forget Jummie
The intoxicating freshness of her skin is my indomie
The smile I’ve yet to see on another’s face;
The brighter and sharp eyes that see through gaze,
And quiver of my heart as it made its
Nuptial journey down to her own quivering hearts’

One day shall immeasurable joy and feeling of completeness
Sit side-by-side at arms length, gazing each other’s happiness
One day shall my burning heart
Hold his lover heart to heart.
