What Took You So Long-? (Mixed Rhyme)
You mastered the art of my father;
He treats you like his younger brother,
Side by side, so happy together
Sailing with you, stead, of his daughter;
You caught big fish, for my sweet mother.
She always welcomes you with her holy kiss;
I’m in charge to cook your favorite dish,
Whilst you and father drinking ouzo, at ease;
‘Cos of you, I forgot to serve the fish---
From the sweat and blood of these men,
Bound by a brotherly kiss;
Yet, I never have a peace
Of mind, so ere you leave again
I promised myself, you’ll be mine, only mine;
God, forgive me, I planned to commit a sin,
Of kissing my father’s friend that my heart’s bind;
I just don’t want to send this man to the bin.
Hence, when father was not around,
I grabbed…kissed him, without a sound;
He blushed, by my own surprise;
And, his manly breath intertwined
With mine; his eyes’ shine,
And my heart no longer cries.
Gosh, how sweet ‘twas, his lips; and, ‘cos of the heat
We did not hear my own father’s teasing psst…
Too late to untangle our lips; we did it,
The kissing, even when father’s around
From no where, he came without any sound;
He chided us not, for he wanted him
To be with me, till his last days go dim.
He’s spoken over-used words: “I love you!”
In a hushed voice, I said, “I love you, too!”
What took you so long…to say you love me?
Don’t you know, in waiting, how hard to be?
