YOUR EYES

YOUR EYES

Your eyes!

It’s like an iron rod. 

Its very hot.

It passes through me.

It’s absurd, but I felt a sexual tickle

Like a tongue upon a nipple,

My synapses dulled a little,

Like am fainting, like am going down

Your eyes,

it’s like a brush of hand through my nape

Raises the hairs on my neck, 

My breathing is faster

My heartbeat , pounding wilder 

Gives me goose pimples

Like a tongue upon a nipple.

Looking at me, you are looking through me,

I am like a hand writing on the wall

I wanted you to read me. 

Not sure though you interpreted

what I allowed you read.

It’s all in your eyes

It weakens me.

Can’t you read my breath choking,

Can’t you read my knuckles tightening

Saliva swallowed a million times

Can’t you read my legs shaking,

Wobbling is a better wording

I wanted you to read me

But you are looking past me,

You are not seeing the yearning me,

I want your notice.

You were busy looking at Alice

Too absorbed to feel my pieces

I was told it’s a sign of love

Love? But I can’t tell you

They will say, I am lose

I am an African woman

Well, a Nigerian woman precisely

Not in our feminine to tell a man, 

So I die inside

It’s the lady’s pride

I took an option,

I took to hate you

Fight you and despise you

I took to walk like an ostrich,

Keep me off your reach,

Lol. 

Not all hates are hate

For through the ages till date,

I have always loved you.

with different families now

We are both married now.

I saw your child recently

He has your eyes.
