If I AM ROMEOA Poem by Onyia-Ali, Kingsley Chukwuebuka BensonRomeo and Juliet
IF I AM ROMEO If I am Romeo, searching that Darkling love of her Formed her path that ignited my light She was where I blinded and shivered She wore the path that lost my sight Opened-road courage quivered Not, in the poem of William Shakespeare Opened my eyes, spare Not, from the look of things While Lucky Dube’s song gave me, glance From where I saw her, countenance Stood face bold amid all spear that threw And broken not the mirror of her strew l From once I met her, derived me joy Genuinely clapped sound opened my coy Laughed-out-loud amid all what they said She stood firmed.
Caught across the mirror that looked My heart coughs across a breath of love that choked Me, and sneezed me out white pelf A smell of love and life
When I attempted not to lust after her Looking and searching for her after her Desert not the heart void of love Cupid in the shelves of forgotten gone In the ecstasy where I dreamt, wet in dreamt Formed the sweat, where pillow cushioned me dried out wet Underneath, separated shadow from light of her countenance From where there was no unison, they refused me, hence From the abhorrence of heart-penury strife Defined the wretched look of life Filled my emptiness From the riches of things
That bonds us together, with same penchant Ring she wore on my left hand I swore to take her by my name; to the altar of my heart, Even if, they refused She is my Juliet. © 2016 Onyia-Ali, Kingsley Chukwuebuka BensonReviews
