Poetry: Love had me

by Adelani Aderemi

Created on: December 19, 2009

If anyone could have told me then

That now could ever be possible

Scandalized would have been too mild

To describe how I would have felt

But here we are

In each other’s arms

Thunder and lighting

Inseparable


I don’t know how it happened

But you have become my kidney

My heart in your ribcage

Yours beating so lively beneath my breasts

Friends roll their eyes in shock

Could Rita be sane? They asked

Sanity is not the issue here

Love is it


How did he do it? They asked me

What did he whisper into your ears

That replaced your sixth sense

I hate to think about the name they call you

Which we used to call you together

If I am in error with this love

I do not ever want to be right

For not you, but love had me
