My Beautiful Nonso
Nonso…
How so?
Our love – a mammoth colossus
Now laid waste in tha valley’s low
Shattered glass on plastered floor
Sweet dreams gone with the night
Like hidden shadows
Nonso…
Oh Nonso
Our love – a mammoth colossus
Now a lethargic dance to distant drumbeats
Like dying evening roses
Without passion without glow
Like broken petals on the wind
"This poem is dedicated to all Igbo beauties I have been honored to meet and perhaps love at different points in my life- Africa is Beautiful and Igbo is golden."
