LOVE OF MINE

A celebration of my wife and our love

We met in the place where souls intersect hearts,
a quadrant to the east of Eden
Where heaven connects with earth.

We met at the dawn of creation
In the womb of the morn,
north of the rainbow, where stars are born.

You touched me and I came alive;
infused with potency like the bees of the hive.

Covered with ice, wrapped in blackness,
I was a frozen planet on a journey to oblivion, seeking for light, down and hopeless.

We met beyond the edge of Orion.
Where big bangs are born every second, beyond the Northmost meridian.

Ice age ceased and now my snow is thawed.
Summer is here with songs restored.

I was a black ink with a one tone mind.
You brought the rainbow,
tinting my life with colors divine.

Warmth is here, the night is fled.
My love is mine and her rose is red.

Dedicated to my wife Flora.

This is a wonderful poem of gratitude for your Flora. Full of beautiful imagery and fine expression. How she has turned your life into colour and warmth. I hope you have shared this with her, although I am sure she knows how appreciated she is. A lovely poem to read Akinlolu. Bless you both.

Oh she knows. I first shared this poem on my facebook page. She's been innundated with calls drawing her attention to it. I think and express myself better in writing but no one can live with Flora without being grateful for the privilege of knowing her. Thanks a lot.

You are a fortunate man. You have a diamond there :)

I know. Only a fool despises diamond. And my parents never raised a fool. So for the rest of my days, I'll cherish this woman. God will help me.

you are an extremely fortunate fellow Akinlolu, to have such an inspiring woman to serve as your unmistakable muse. How else to explain the absolute joy I have on reading this great poem. Feel very much rewarded for my visit, which was inspired by your eloquent review of my friend John's work. will definitely be returning to dine, make that feast, on your work again.

Thanks for your review of my poem, Ken. Glad to know my poem inspired such an emotion in you. No one can live with Flora without feeling on top of the world. Thanks again and you're always welcome.
