Little Death

Adjekawen A. Jeremiah 1998 (Delta State, Nigeria)



I want to lit,
A sparkle in your eyes by the sea;
I want to feel
The wetness on your abs as it drip;
I want to sip,
The nectar of your lips with my lips.

Mhh..., the spread of your fragrance  in the air!
Aww..., the oil in the curls of your hair
Ahh..., the walls of your skin smooth to death!
Uhh..., bury my soul in your care!
