IF LOVE IS A POEM
by Ubali Ibrahim Hashimu If love is a poem
the imagery would seem cloudy
Literary devices may be blurry
OH! The structure became broken.
If love is a poem,
I would prefer a sonnet filled with joys
or an elegy or a threnody of lamentations and sorrows.
If love is a poem,
I"d make the poets dance to its melody in rain.
Seemingly, it'll last for eternity,
engulfing the most stubborn heart
and heal the dementia patient.
