Love Poem: If Tumorrow Meets Us Not

If Tumorrow Meets Us Not

Tell them!

Look on to my face
And let fall the secret
We hided in the invisible bier 
Of eternity
When all eyes and ears 
were blinded and deafened
By sleep
Let the vultures 
Of the evil forest 
Spice my body
For a glamorous banquet!

Say it!

I have heard already 
The gossip from the women 
On the way to the stream 
At dawn 
From the Nayiri's gong beater 
I have heard the fearful decree 
And equally,
I have seen 
the spears of monstrous laughter 
Burst the cheeks of our foes

Sister,tell mama,
To weep no more 
For when the stubborn fowl 
Digs deep the ground 
It exposes the bones 
Of its ancestors
The mouse madly 
Went to the cattery 
To buy itself the meat 
Of a kitten 
Love,love,love!
like a cunning fox 
Baited the hungry fowl 
With the meat of a cockroach 
And not could it have resisted 
I knew forbidden 
was the eaten fruit 
But what cause or reason 
Could have the dog 
unleash the juicy bone 

The broadened hips of Nasara 
Made visible by her 
Tight-shortened kente skirt 
Could have made me 
Grill my fingers 
In a wild inferno unawarely 
The sight of her 
ladybird-like skinned beads 
Lustfully stimulated me 
And i would have mounted 
A bull forgetfully 
What of the well-filled erected 
balls on her chest 
That itched my palms always 
For her round botty,
That swayed like a leave 
Quaked by a violent tempest 
Did nearly broke my neck 
For vying with it always 
In each direction it went 

The fearful taboo of chastity
We have smitten 
The womb of Nasara 
Shelters the flesh of my blood 
And there awaits no option 
Other than a bloody execution 
If tumorrow meet us not,
Remember the aged love song 
We sang togather 
When the full white moon 
Came passing 
Remember the soft chorus 
I Joined in with  
That silenced the envious song birds 
The mucus may do it worse 
But never does it go off 
With the nose
I still remain your only cow boy
That robbed you milk and cheese 
And  paid the penalty 
With my bare  back 
That suffered the pains 
Of papa's whip…
