His Delilah Poem by Rose Kanana

His Delilah

Rating: 5.0


He walked along her garden to pick the roses
The thorns pricked his hands but he did not give up
He walked by her river bank to draw some water
The banks had burst-ed but he feared not to be washed away His love for her was like the bush fire
He had spent time thinking of this lovely lady he hardly knew A lady whose beauty could turn a blind man into sight
His appetite for her was immeasurably disturbing
Oh man! was she meant for you?

Her long model legs were wonderfully created
Her lips were smooth no man would have resisted her kiss
Daughter of my mother was she the Biblical Delilah?
Her hips swayed in a balanced manner
He held tightly into her ant-like waistline
He recollected himself and kissed her
Oh Delilah are you meant for him?

That night he slept not, for his dream to touch, kiss and partake had come to pass
Oh Delilah! Will you marry him?
The honey pot he thought was best for him
He would pay the bride price to have her as his wife
The petals of the roses remain attractive than the thorns Optimism filled him
Oh Delilah will you be his wife?

He promised to love her
He yearned for her curves
He longed for her touch
But Delilah woke up from another mans house
Wisdom had left him
Admiration had turned sour
Oh Delilah! why did you betray him?
