Long Distance Love Poems: My London Girl

Like an infant crop
We grew from a start,
Clipped by a staple
In an impenetrable grip.

We held a flash
Linked to our marrows,
A taste of a first fruit
As struck by lightening;
Glaring rays down our glisten,
A flame unquenchable
Burning in columns.

In a bid to unwrap,
We stayed divided
In two separate worlds;
Chained by distance
Yet undefeated.

I extended my ropes
To you in your end,
Holding onto my part
As you clung to yours;
Reaching your end
Daily from Nigeria
As you held your grip
From far off London.

In your portraits daily
I found perfection,
Watching your wonders
My celebrity afar,
Chatting like always
Our jokes in thrills,
Hearing our voice
From up our worlds.

Someday in a runway
A plane shall arrive
And we’ll reach for another
Like never apart,
Chilling in gazes
As safe as our grip;
Our firm inseparable hold
Synonymous to our heartbeat.
