LOVE LORN

You drank from my plea-gourd
You chewed the gum of illusions
You spun a web of distance
Around my cloudy heart

I sing of your soft tenderness
Whilst Angels adored your golden bra-plate
In a rear world,
My dry tongue fostered to your creamy lips
But your thundering silence
Becloud my hallowed nakedness
Unleash the plague of lust on me
Untie the dregs of solitude
And trap me in your warm nest.

A night before now
You robbed my night of dreams,
With the smell of your navel
You stabbed you stabbed my come-hither eyes of vision
You imprisoned me in the locks of your graceful hair
Now, you hide behind the smell of pride.

Come, hastily arrogant maiden
Let’s defile the wrath of time
To live in the grave of your embrace
Rape me with the rope of pleasure
Lie and low below this minty tree
And let me in and out at will
Fill my apples with ripeness
Now, that I burn aloft in your in your loftiness.

Clothe me in the deep of your leisured sweat
Me, alone will unlock your aged hymen
To fruit the vines of this breast-gap
Longing I am like a famished infant
For your breast-milk
Show me the narrow path
To your hairy-kingdom
Where swallows mellow in the shallow river
Where the barred cloud poured songs in the cottage
Where dazed lambs bleat to ecstasy
And wail-ful cricket climb the hilly pleasure.

My lone wish is to lay on your bossom
Lest I drowse in the can of hemlock.
Odeyemi John
