Poet-Today | Amina Saidu Abubakar

Waiting...

A trail of red roses heralds his coming
The stars guide him
The moon ushers him
Even the trees whisper his name.

She rushes out breathless,
Calling out, reaching out
Making moves,taking steps

Her gentle smile melts him
Her wit amazes him
Her aura thrills him

She holds out her hand
He looks at it and turns away
She holds out both hands
This time, he takes steps towards her

Oh you! Dreamer,
dream her way
dream away
Oh you!
who sings fervently
whose laughter is contagious
Whose gaze is soothing

Tend to her
Take those steps
Hold those hands
Echo those thoughts
And crown her your queen..
