Stranger's Kiss

Stranger's Kiss

A Poem by Opeyemi Jide-Ojo

                                                                This is the stranger I’d love to kiss,

Of the delightsome order of daylight-

Cycles of birth and dawn

And all the finest definitions of her royal estate, pretty stranger,

 

                                                 And all the memories and fantasies she evokes-

My mind was once kept to her will,

My desires bound to her every movement.

And I became my dream,

 

                                                                           Or my dream became me,

We became one,

Lost in the beauty of this fantasy-

Let the dreams speak for itself-

 

                                                             For the dreams are one, and they’ve

Attached themselves to the figure of me,

Wrapping themselves around my mind such that

They are the body of my thoughts,

 

 

                                                                        They give my dreams spirit.

I wish for the stranger’s kiss,

And she may be no stranger-

She’s in me, already me,

 

                                                        And I might know the stranger all too well,

Perfect image of my prayer for redemption,

And my hope for life itself-

Still I wish for the stranger’s kiss

 

                                                                       And the life it holds for me,

Bringing all my dreams to the surface

As I get closer to that door-

Only if I can get to the door,

 

                                                            Then I can wake to the end of a dream

And the start of another-

I’ll wake to meet my stranger’s kiss,

Or my stranger will come to my dreams…

Wow really good! Magical combination of words.. felt like I was reading someone´s thougts.. The only thing I´d point out is that you can take away the numbers if you want :) It´s better with just the flow of words, cause they were beautiful! :) thanks for sharing:)
