GOLD IN A THORN-BUSHA Poem by Victory H. Izevbekhai
GOLD IN A THORNBUSH
Beautiful songs have been re-sung Days have dawned, Moons have risen and gone, And so has the sun; But this moment once gone Will never return. So I'm gonna take this chance, Steal this kiss and have this dance Hand in hand under the moonlight. Streaks of the milky way radiating with brilliance Is but a Molotov cocktail compared To the canon ball radiance in her eyes When she smiles. Sunday school taught me to flee temptations But in your presence I'm lost, In awe, my feet are glued to the spot Its a complication One i ain't ready to flee from; But these pieces keep breaking up into smaller bits. And why take a risk When I can't get enough? Loving you is like having gold in the middle of a thorn bush. I bleed, Yeah, each day i do. I bleed but regard not my wounds. I proceed with caution I'm no dare-devil For I know the moment I reach out my arm To pluck that gold, I'll get pricked by ten thousand icy cold thistles Piercing deep into my bones. I guess all I'm eating now is bitter-sweet chocolate cones. © 2017 Victory H. Izevbekhai |
