The Intended Wife Episodes (part 1)(the First Encounter) | NABENDE EMMANUEL LEONARD CHIPUKIZI

You are too celestial down my heart
The more I talk to you
The more connected I become
Oh! How I wish this is never disconnected

The more you get away,
The more I get away with you.
You travel around my eyes
Then slowly down my neck.
As you stride down my chest,
Goodness paralyses me
Then I die in joy and sink in confusion

I am afraid of spending a moment
Without talking to you
I am dead to your company
Magnetized by your care and concern
Passion is killing me,
I am waiting for your voice
To melt my anxiety
These are just lines
Withdrawn from my emotions
All for you robber of my heart

Poet's note: The poem explores a family conflict between a husband and wife. A situation where either side ignores their responsibility but still wants to be regarded relevant.
