Ugomsinachi Poem by John Chizoba Vincent

UGOMSINACHI
Ugomsinnachi,
The rthyme of my heartbeat
Maker of the rain of my Soul
Ugomsinachi, the nkporo maiden
Who triumph my heart in love
The coconut without some water
Yet so fine and sweety to behold

Ugochinyerem,
the one that God gives to me
Hallow be your gracious name written in me
My rainbow, my star of love in the dark tunnel
My feet wobbled at the sight of your beauty
Can the stone bear to listen to my heartbeat
For your love and kindness?

Ugomsinnachi,
With you my life is complete and loving
My heart burns in your absence in my eyes
Ugomsinachi, the maker of my love
Ugomsinachi, the eyes of the gods of Nkporo
Ugomsinachi, the Nkporo maiden whose beads
Men struggle to hold and walk along for peace
But I pour the waters of my soul to wash your feet

Ugomsinachi,
I will love you till the messiah comes
Ugomsinachi, you are my star and hope
Come into my heart and watch it smiling
You could see and behold the joy and excitement
There in because I fell in love with you

Ugomsinachi,
Together we shall sit on the table
Not on the floor like my forebearers,
To eat, not with fingers but with knives and
Forks and breakable china plates like a civilized
Couple from the golden city of Nkporo.
At that moment the sun itself shall be your friend.

Ugomsinnachi,
Your images in a larger corner of somewhere
In my heart, and even that part my mother shared with me before birth.
Am honoured and famous to have someone like you in my humble heart.
