My Only One Poem by Folayemi Akande

I have but one heart, one that beats for you

I have but one mind, one that thinks of you

I have but one war, war to fight for you

I have but two eyes meant to light your way

Your sensual, warm breath steals my pain away

I have but one life, one that lives for you

You are my one life, hope you know it's true.

I've seen the starlit but nought as your smiles

I've seen the rainbow, not rimmed as your eyes

Feel well alive in shelter of your arm

Your ornate brunnette hair, cubs me from harm

I feel securely safe, no need for Psalm

You are the stem and root that makes love grow

I'm just a seed and leaf splintered to sow.
