LOVE AS A WRAPPED GIFT

(For Juliet Efuka Veseke)

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

Good, it feels to have a taste of true love
And I know what I`m on about
Even at midnight, forgotten nuns
All clad in their Sunday best
Stream out to commune with loved ones.

Today, at least, I`ve found my treasure trove
And I did so without a single bout
Nor any innings, nor runs
So if I`m put to the test
I`ll quickly offer my birthday cake to the blessed one.
