Poetry from Ubali Ibrahim Hashimu

WHENEVER I THINK OF IT


Whenever I think of it

I see nothing but moon and star

Cuddle each other in an orderly manner

Lulling me with a cloying nectar 

That waters my tongue like fish in a river.


Whenever I glance at it

I recall its brightest teeth

That outshine the light of sun

And my heart sinks into its ocean

To enjoy aquatic feelings resting therein.


Whenever I get a chance to kiss it

Peacock and peahen we will become

To hyperbolize in realm of love

And encase ourselves in girdle of affection.


Whenever I think of it

I bring back those memories

When I smiled and cried out loudly

For the untold stories I buried

Which cage my soul in monsoon period.
