When Love Arrest Poem by Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu

When Love Arrest



I thought I could not fall
First, I passed through the path
And the wind blew away;
The door-blind
I saw her fairer thigh
She sat on the bed directly to the door
I looked away

Yet again,
I met her at cross road
Under the blood of nature
She shone on daybreak
She glance at me;
I view her, heaven to earth
At point, she entered me
My feet cleared off the ground

I looked away,
She is all I see
Her face everywhere
I picked up my pen
It is her, I could write;
She gives me sleepless nights
And restless days
Yes, I feel her freshness
Should she had been a dark skinned,
Chocolate,
She also would have been Agbani

In my thought and in my words
In my flesh and in my blood
In my meal and fasting
Her fragrance all on me
She calls a name of male
My heart breaks
All I want is nothing but her
I want to let her know, she rock my world

In my prayers
In my everything
The sugar that sweetened my soul
Fragrance the freshen my mind
In far way, yet nearer than my head
I fall, for she is my missing rib

When love arrest,
I've think, done nothing else
But all about you
The light of my world
The strength in my weakness
My love and life
Where and who is this my Agbani Derigo?
