"Help Meet"

 


"Help meet" (Dedicated to Gift Ifechukwudeni)

There are few humans like God

That could see our tears before they come

Draw close to us whenever

They sense our loneliness from afar

Snuggle silently to share our solitude.

Only you can share this cross with its thorn

Bleed and act as if you are not hurt


In every pain you sought my gain

You lost many too precious to find me

Love was all that mattered to you, and still does,

Few go this far in this scorching sun

And never bothered to look back.


Grace is found always on your lips

You wear beauty like a regal rope

Strength lies in your loins,

And you choose to bear me with them

You love relentless like death

And we have chosen that it won't do us part.


You say you worry I will leave 

But how could i?

When I just found the right bone 

That made my life empty all this while.

This is our honeymoon night

I have come home to roost forever with you.
