Poetry: Starving for attention

by Adelani Aderemi

Created on: December 20, 2009   Last Updated: December 21, 2009

Aroused from an erotic dream
Showered and refreshed
Teeth brushed
Body Perfumed
Anointing myself thoroughly
With sweet smelling oils
Hair oiled, combed and parted
Clad in audacious bikini

Room filled with soft music
Sprayed with air freshener
I dressed my bed as for a Queen
Assorted wines on the mantel piece
He came in drunk again barely noticing me
And within minutes his snores assaulted my ears
Deflated I sagged into the bedside sofa
Another long night of starvation

The twin buds on my bosom crave attention
Oh for somebody to hold me lest I implode
Waist beads lay undisturbed
Farmland lies fallow
Gazelles swollen with milk
Pillow is of no help
Honeywell filled almost dripping
Starving for attention
