DROWNING IN DEVOTION

I am lost in you like one drowning,
Helplessly, only you can save me with a kiss or CPR.
Yes, this sipping arrow has pierced my heart deep,
Oh! My breathless being!
Oh God! Save me from this love that I love.

Oh, but such a save is not as desirable as my lips claim
Even though a victim, my body is yours to siphon
My arms crave your endless devotion
My eyes dance about, about every fortnight
In suspense, awaiting your next arrival

When is my next appointment in your embrace?
I want to feel your gentle touch on my bruised skin
Or is it the sting from the sharp torment of your lips?
Chills like current run down my spine when our bodies collide

Kumekpe-kumeja, our bodies drip salt and honey.
Still, I die no more even with a steel on my head
Because your love is so defined with many misinterpretations from haters.
Ah! I wish my mother can accept you
My sweetest taboo.

I want to drown in this unrighteous ocean,
Our love is a sin,
This time I will listen to the serpent and fall
Fall from heaven’s grace
Right into your arms.

God will come down to see us
And instead of pour curses,
the creator will rain blessings.
I will clothe myself in your madness–
the only touch I have with sanity.

My eyes bleed with greed over your body and soul
No lust can remove the madness ravaging inside me
Everything you are is temptation for my soul
One I’m willing to trespass till infinity do us part

I’m dressed gorgeously in groaning love
Wish, yes I do will do my final bus stop
With no riddles and jokes jotted, rides of motorbike rekindle
My love will reign with no remainder forever.

I am lost into you like the rivers that drown.
Sown into your bosom, all of my life not just a part.
Who will save me from the deep?
Cos I am lifeless in your warm embrace.
