Better Still? Poem by Poet Akinwemimo Idris

BETTER STILL?
(lovely poem for Alake)


How I wish,
Big the ship enough,
To convey both.


Foolishly how I wish,
Vast the sea enough,
To convey our ship.

I discovered this,
Long before in past,
The human memories.

And definitely thus,
This forever to be,
Till forever lasts forever.


The space in wish,
Smaller is it....
To number of human,
To be spaced within.

Dear Oh beloved!
I wish to carve....
A monument of you,
In my sea-like mind.

So just to bow,
For you like goddess..

But against is this,
To the cultural rules.

I wish to sleep...
On your foaming chest,
Till the heaven falls...
But I have to work...
For an heavy pocket.

BUT I didn't wish,
To stay with you,
Thus, for long....
But the ironical fate,
Binds us forever.

This is a fate,
Previously not wished.
Maybe even if I did,
Maybe you wouldn't mine.
