Lady Of The Cup — Adesina Aanuoluwapo

I stare lovingly at her eyebrows,

arching downwards like a spear,

deep into my skin it ploughs,

And from that wound comes a tear.

I lose myself in her eyes like an abyss,

leaving the light of loneliness above,

her smile provides a sweet sour bliss,

falling deeper and deeper in love.

I leaned forward to kiss her lips,

she ran her hands through my hair,

And shut my eyes with her fingertips,

only to abandon me and befriend the air.
