Obi'm Poem by Shalom Woroma Wichendu

Obi m
I see you when you steal glances
The way you smile each time the eyes of your heart
Capture memories of us

Obi m
The way your whole world stops
As you get lost in adoration
And I see my image,
The centre of your eye's attention

When you plant those genuine kisses on my forehead,
Obi m,
I hear every word your heart says

And I know;
Though I may be a bad liar,
When I said "I Do" before GOD's altar
With our eyes locked
I was the most truthful person in the room

*****

For those who wouldn't know,
"Obi m" means "My Heart" in the indigenous Igbo Language of Nigeria.
