Love you more

Love you more

A Poem by Sola Herbs
"

Unrequited love

"
I love you more than sky loves blue
More than stars loves shine
Love you more than colours
Yes colours
Blue, yellow, orange, green, purple, white, black
Colours, yes I love you more than colours.
I love you more than food
Yes, food.
Nigerian food.
Pounded yam, rice and beans, egusi soup, akara, eba, ila
Yes, I love you more than Nigerian food.
Love you more than knowledge loves books
Yes, books
Bible, encyclopaedia, anthology, monographs, trilogies
Yes, I love you more than knowledge loves books
I love you more than birds clenching hard to survival
More than a mother’s love for her young one,
Gives birth, care, nurture, love, time, age
Yes, I love you more than a mother’s love for her young one.
I love you more than daisies loves its sunflower family
More than I hate the word antifamily
Love you more than I adore my family
Mother, father, brothers, sisters, aunties, uncles
Yes, I love you more than I adore my family.
I love you more than Muslims love religion
Love you more than the positives of being in love.
Passion, pleasure, romance, touch, vision, blindness
Yes I love you more than the positives of being in love
I love you more than I love life itself
Yes, I do,
and I’ll give it up again and again just to hear u breathe
Watch u feed, let you lead,
Yes, this, this I will do
But when I look in your eyes,
My enthusiasm, my endeavours are belittled
Cuz it is obvious, yes my love it is obvious
That I will always love you more
Than you‘ll ever love me
