The One (Lovestruck) Poem by Ololade Okunade

Little did I knows in my lies an uncharted path
Negating logic and embracing selflessness
Glad I am to find a being as such to complete me
Here I am the bunny, there she is my front teeth.

Perhaps, she's just another human whose qualities my intellect helped amplify
Seeing as she can't walk between raindrops and not get wet
How then could I be so stricken by a fallible being like me
Perhaps, it makes my part of the blind dying breed.

My bags I've packed with the nevers and can't left behind
Base my folks farewell to follow the breathing beacon in my lucid dreams
I am ready to follow the faintest of light down the darkest of tunnels
Reach I am to be the clown on her bleakest of days
Glad I am to rescind my throne to set sails on the world unknown
If to find my one true love, for once I'll know what it feels not to be alone.

Where lies my courage at such dire moment
Here is the one, to speak I cannot
Alas! To my aid, cupid descends
And eye to eye, sparks began to fly
I was love, she was struck.

I led her to the eighth wonder of the world
Our shelter, where the seas with the horizons collide
Under the stars...
Figure to figure, frame on frame, hearts began to melt
Hands interlocked, rhythm involved, labor comes to breath
And with the product of our combined essence
Our very own breed of offsprings we unfold
The hearths we shaped, the gardens we formed
It's BEAUTIFUL she says, it's HOME I reply.
