"Help Meet"

"Help meet"

There are few humans like God
That could see our tears before they come
Draw close to us whenever
They sense our loneliness from afar
Snuggle silently to share our solitude.
Only you can share this cross with its thorn
Bleed and act as if you are not hurt

In every pain you sought my gain
You lost many too precious to find me
Love was all that mattered to you, and still does,
Few go this far in this scorching sun
And never bothered to look back.

Grace is found always on your lips
You wear beauty like a regal rope
Strength lies in your loins,
And you choose to bear me with them
You love relentless like death
And we have chosen that it won't do us part.

You say you worry I will leave 
But how could i?
When I just found the right bone 
That made my life empty all this while.
This is our honeymoon night
I have come home to roost forever with you.

 

(Dedicated to Gift Ifechukwudeni, a lady after my heart)

Emeka,

A poem of great quality, beautifully written from the heart. For many poets this poem will serve as an incentive to write. You have excelled yourself.

Thank you for this
Keith
