Sarpong Kumankoma Poet Rhyme

I Have Eaten of Love

Love set her table
before me
A tasty meal i
presumed to be
My heart salivated,
anxious 
to taste loves
delicacy, delicious 
I had heard it was
I was yet to see if
true or false 

Soup served with
drink 
sweet aroma dancing
in the air 
bright drink giving
an inviting stare 
I tasted and lo!
So sweet was the
food
and the drink was as
good

But behind the taste
was more of fire
than of salt 
the soup was pepper
hot
and the drink a
flaming ginger
and the meat
scratching fingers 
My heart danced to
the rhythm of pain 
tears flowed like
rain 
Of which i drank for
desert

Earl Schumacker August 7, 2014 at 12:49 PM Hi Sarpong, This is a very interesting poem. The last stanza has merit. The last line; "Of which I drank for desert", is both compelling and powerful. Nice structure and language usage here. Keep up the good work. Have a great day. Earl Sarpong Kumankoma August 8, 2014 at 6:52 AM Thanks Earl for stopping by.
