One Question Poem by Emmanuel Odum

The reeds were better boats
till when the oceans sink
look me in the face
and tell me that you know
one reason too many
my songs of broken heart.
O why, tell me why
you never come to stay
you teas me till smiles
awoken from the miles
i held your hands tight
you threw me to the mines
i saw the sun arise
i felt the moon die
answer me one question
not a many question
whisper to my heart
or louder to my soul
tell it to my bones
and let my spirit hold
the very stone you roll
tell me that you know
why love is never 'so'.
