"My Heart Mistress" by Ndibe, Benjamin O
Oh!.. My frail, fragile and friable heart,
That carries you every night and day
Thoughts of you chases my sleep
Far off, and you never took note.
Oh!.. My poor soul that loves you.
Your eagle eyes has been blinded to
My light shining so brightly to your face.
Your sharp ears has been deaf to
My cool songs and screams of love.
Your sense of smell, Oh!!.. Poisoned
To avoid the scent of my perfumes.
Your sense of touch killed and responds
Negatively to my warm touch of love.
Your heart and mind hardens by the day.
Maybe out of love for another whom
I feel better off and sweeter than.
Oh!.. Sweet and perfect love of my life
May your senses be made alive again
May it propel you to positive actions
To see the things you've been blinded to
To hear my songs and screams of love
To sense my very warm touch of love
Open your heart so wide, my princess
May we swim in love forever, dear one.
