Surp Flowers – A Poem by Ogenyi Akunna, Nigeria

I met someone;
not a MINI-DAD like I expected,
but you caught my eye.

I thought of you as Blossom; a flower that I’ll keep
You are my Rose and I am your Sunshine,
A mixture of us would make
Baby Suro Flower.

Funny but it’ll be very pretty,
Just like we want it.
We’ll make two more and maybe
add one more; Tiny Suro Flowers that we love.

There’ll be days when we can’t stand each other,
Days when we don’t want us
But in between those days,
we’ll have days when we can’t have enough of each other.

Then, we’ll pray together, stay together
Learning to understand each other;
being better.
That way, we’ll live.
