Love Conversation Poem by Moses Kainwo

M: Since I became your spouse the snob of society became meaningless.
W: Of course, you ought to know, I voted you my President.

M: The trees stopped dropping their leaves.
W: Yes, I gave you a garden of evergreens.

M: But the birds have not stopped singing.
W: Because my griots serve you with perpetual interest.

M: Witness now my name on every lip in the country.
W: No surprise! I jammed their wavelength with my broadcasts.

M: I never went hungry.
W: Not since I became your daily bread.

M: Never went thirsty either.
W: How can you when my forest well has been reserved for you only?

M: Nor have I been lonely.
W: No darling, I gave you a piece of me to take everywhere.

M: Even when I bought no jewels for you?
W: Honey, what can be more precious than your teeth in smiles?

M: Can heaven be different from what I know?
W: What you allow me to share is a foretaste of heaven.

M: So, for better for worse?
W: I’ll be the code for your conduct.

M: For richer for poorer?
W: I’ll be your tax collector.

M: In sickness and in health?
W: I will drug you on.

M: Is this how we pray today?
W: And everyday.

M/W: Aaaah men!
