The Drunken State of Love
( by Sumaiyyah Nassir, Poem💞Lover 254 member )
I wrote , but i ran out of ink
I planned to sing but no song is close so;
I gave thou hints but to thee, appeared parables
Ive gotten tired of probables
Now more than ever im provoked and ;
Ill write you a piece
Good words clean neat
Sophisticated and sober
Following my drunken state at the bar
You deserve a different fashion
Of being addressed , I'm
Unease , but please listen ; listen to me
How can I but say to thee
That I keep thinking wee
How can I stand upright
Drunken , unable to even write ,
But this is piece from me
If thou wouldst just listen
Perchance I might woo
But you disregard me , since I show weak
Unclassed by society I'm ashamed to even give my feelings a name
You deserve a better fashion
One that'll explain
Even if it'll be less , than Perfect ;
If i own but a mention in thou's heart ;
Then joy alas , if I owned a suit , hat or even boots
Then my wish be true , me a man and you me lady
I'd kneel propose honourably and come through ; but
In this society , that's a taboo
I'd be burnt at the stake drowned in the lagoon ;
If sending a white dove with a red rose was easy I would but the hunters shot it down
I would send a young wind but playfully would deliver to the wrong one
Wanted to come myself but I'm scared of rejection
Now I've sent my words to thee in peace
Clothed in an armor , a letter my poem piece
He'll fight and walk a long miles across all east ,central ,sahara and rest at timbuktu .
At each rest me heart increase the pace ,closer and closer ;
He must deliver , to thou
Otherwise I shall fail ,
With him is a heart , peacefully and safely it'll beat in your hands ;
And enjoy your feel
Your warm embrace , sweet kiss ,Alas ive found peace ,strong it'll endeavor prosper .
But only if you can listen to the rhythm of its beating ,
And accept a drunk , intoxicated by deep feelings of affection , Forget me not , reject me not accept me and I'm sober.
