Canticles Of Love: A Poem by Chukwuemeka Oluka


To the one whose faults are small yet loud
That makes my heart groan in loud solitude
I let you wreck and deck me as you vowed
You held tight to your dangling attitude

Here and there, you swung me till I was lost
Lost in the fold and mould of your true self
Like a pearl in savannas far east
I was lost like a book that left its shelf

But how much longer will this continue
How long will I stand and wonder and feign
Near, you are; yet far like the mountain dew
In all, love threw me you so that I gain

Glad I stayed with you and love is anchored
Come pain, come gain, love came, saw and conquered
