Number One And Too

Israel Kolawole 2005 (Lagos)

Free verse
Like the number one sees two everyday
I see you too
But my heart shivers in manners of which are unexplainable
Manners of which when I try to explain might cost me to sleep in your beauty
And the only way a I can leave that fantasy
Is when you kiss me
But all this I think
Within myself in solitude
Tomorrow, number one sees two
I see you too
The day after
I see you too.
Can I touch you
Even if one never touched two
Can I feel you
Even if one only felt two
Can I hold you
Even when one wasn't able to.
