Accura Wild Nights

Only name the day, and I shall be there 

This morning the notification woke me up 

With still sleep in my eyes I reached for my phone 

And the tone  

lingers from that Twi in my ear 

 Annei I love you though, despites his tears 

To forget the world, and they negativities 

Of a love such as ours, it clean, it’s pure 

Love does not speak volumes(quote) 

It speaks the honesty of another one confession, 

Loving another person is hard work, 

Only true love to me is a newborn baby love 

 for its mother, he trusts her immediately  

 

As we gaze into each other eyes, 

We smile, we reminisce we both lied: 

We try to outdo each other: 

Was I king liar or was he king Lear? 

Revealing too much, or revealing a little 

Listen carefully, and responding with affection 

Or simply use the body language 

This fool will get back to you. 

And old gal interpretation of fear not want not 

We really don’t get each other: 

My darkest fear is why did he walk 

The dark street of Accura at 3.am? 

That’s when my psychoanalysis study step in: 

Where the boy seeks, love in an old familiar place 

 the street love of his childhood dream; 

I asked of him not cut his hair 

It makes him look like a youth, 

Older men take advantage of desperate  

Looking youth, because of the boyish look,  

and that all it took: 

Meat for the belly, and the belly for the meat(quote) 

So, happily this morning I decline,  

You learn a lot about a man by his behavior when hungry. ~ Zambian Proverb
