Tears Of Love Poem by ObiGod Chidi CC

TEARS OF LOVE
At that fork where loneliness took its root
As cactus, echoed its lyrics in a lovelorn tune,
My antennae bent towards a pretty aura
That pushed my shell back to reveal my heart,
And its pain cremating in past ugly stake
Reflecting in a painful tide, regrets dripping
Tears of love.


Then a beauty not beheld, creature uncreated,
A pulchritude blinking wide in ugly multitude
Resuscitated the lover boy in me to gasp over
The hateful bank like a half drowned kingfisher,
Yet forgives the gone fish that made my eyes cry
Tears of love.


Wow! Never know you would finally be mine,
You, the princess locked behind a pretty castle,
The black diamond in a king's favourite finger,
The closest I got was just a strong vain wish,
Now you are a favour obtained from my God,
My world smiles like sun, my moon surges
Teasrs of love.
