Obiaje Peter Edigah Poet Blank verse

Love N Regain

Proudly I kneel before her speechless
My cap bow in humility as my eyes flow ocean of water
Just to say I’m sorry
My heart bear witness with my spirit that I’m innocent
Yet guilty for peace to reign
Fool! I was called by peers
What can I give in exchange for peace?
In her dwells the totality of my peace
Let go? Hell no
To whom shall the peace transfer to?
To what path shall I research to find her?
The bird at hand worth more than millions in the bush
I must keep my male pride to gain what I hold precious
What if she walks away without a word?
Am I a fool?
No!
I will keep kneeling until she smile at me and says “I love you”

John Pen April 7, 2014 at 4:29 AM You could be writing about your loved one but there is a whole new meaning to your poem. "guilty for peace to reign". World peace craves fro such attitude. Did you mean a bird in hand?
