True Love

True Love

A Poem by Akoka Folami
"

One of those random tugs to write... It doesn't rhyme and doesn't have any rhythm, just from the heart! Enjoy!

"
The lush hills lavished me with garments
The sun wrapped me with purple flowing robes
The clouds hemmed with golden lining
The stars were formed and they crowned me with flaming jewels
The ones I formed to my image by dirt and rib 
I loved most.
To these I gave my garments, my robe, my crown
To me, these gave me tears, hatred, pain
Were the world around them not enough
They thrashed out and cursed my name
I gave them my wisdom
They scorned it
I gave them my soul
Out I poured it
They disowned it
I gave them my body
They broke it
There I lay scorned, disowned, broken
Death pounced on me
The world sunk their teeth into my side.
My love spilled out in response
The world drenched me into their filth
It filled into my skin and pores
I was wrenched from my Father
Father watched in pain as my True Love flooded from my eyes
Abandoned and despised, I waited for Father's call on the third dawning
The pain of the earth writhed, tore, punched, stabbed into the pit of my heart
I awaited the call of Father.
The cries of present and future burned in my eyes, constricted within my throat
I awaited upon Father.
An awakening as fresh as the dew sprayed on me...
A call, "My Son, My Son, I am well pleased," 
Awakened me
A sway of dancing hills wrapped about me
A sweep of sunrise filtered upon my shoulders
A sprinkle of stars were crowned upon my head
In awe, my despisers bowed lower than the shame within their souls
In love, I stretched out my hand.

As one we walked in love and hope together.
