Y.O.U, Poem by Ayouba Toure

Darling, You.

You’re the lace of my shoes,
High above the stars I’ll soon raise you.
My bosom I’ll make a bed
Where you’ll lay your head to rest.
..
Be the captain of my ship
Who’ll navigate turbulent waves of oceans.
It’s my vow that strife between us gets over

Pour on me all your perplexities
Let me speciate them all.
Out of zillion of your kind
Till forever I’ll hold you in my arms.
It’s You.
Only you.
….
Allow my warm body be your safe zone.
Please don’t bang
This body is all yours. Come live in my mind,
Climb the steps of my heart and have naps.
…..
Fear not!
For I’ll bulletproof every shot that comes your way.
I’ll take your place if death demand your hands in marriage.
Like the sun’s ray
Your beauty has blinded my mind.

And there’s nothing I could think again,
But to have you as mine.
