Love Poem: Lovelorn

Lovelorn

Since it was you my heart 
was
given
since it was you
In a cloudy night
And a whistling wind
In all thin season
Why today you abash me 
like
dried leaves
You pierce my heart in
shambolic manner
You contempt my heart like
gloomed flowers.
It is you!
The distresses of my mind
Your beauty bisects my 
heart in
solitary ecstasy
Your beauty that 
brightens the
African sky
Make my love bodacious 
like
summer night
Like costly garment and 
African
attire
Like invaluable jewel 
hanging on
Black damsel's neck
Since it was you
You anomalous attitude 
cannot
infuriate me
But to conjure me.
