Duke Benson Poems

It’s a gloomy quiet black night
On my way to you
The road is long and wide
And black is the night
...

You’re stuck on me like a parasite
You control my very thoughts
The inclination of my heart is towards you always
I strive to escape your talons
...

My eyes I gave you
So you look out for me
My ears I entrusted to you
So you listen out for me
...

Yes it’s bad
Yes I know it’s wrong
I realize it’s against my principles, my laws
It isn’t allowed
...

From afar I saw you
I noticed the elegance in your strides
I saw you smile
It melted my diamond-like heart
...

You stare into my eyes
As I lay under you
You see through me as if your eyes are gamma rays
You become an inefficient motor
...

I remember with flooding tears
The 18th day of June
At the wedding reception of the Mensah’s
It was dance time and I wanted you only
...
