Oh How She Loved And Loved Her Man Poem by Aki Nnamdi

She strolled out of the house looking bright and happy.
she stopped by and bent to smell and pluck every lilly
she looked towards the west and watched th sun welcom the night
she loved the twinkles in the sky that decorated twilight.
then she sat under a tree to write a song for her man
oh how she loved n loved her man.
she watched as moonlight slowly creased in.
she saw the nighttime birds flying and chirping.
she smiled at the trees as they danced in the wind
she stretched out her hand to catch the falling leaves
then she longed for tomorow wen she wld see her man again.
oh how she loved and loved her man
she walked back home merrily, she had spent several hours.
she had listened to the birds and plucked several flowers.
she plucked some for mama and some for her man.
though she knew the flowers would die before the early morn.
she called out: 'mama am home'
and mama came out holding an envelope.
she opened the parcel so well sealed.
as beautiful as the words in it should have been.
the message was precise and clear as crystal...
as distinct as the sound of brass and metal.
as cold and shrill as the sound of agony.
as somber and sonorous as the voice of pain.
the words read: OUR RELATIONSHIP IS OVER.
in a sudden wave of disbelief,
she fell to the ground and gave way to grief.
and that day, as beautiful as it had been like the colors of the rainbow...
turned grey and pale and started to bloom in sorrow..
that thay, she was drenched in her tears.
For she had never held anything so dear.
oh, how she loved and loved her man.
