Pass Me Not… I Hope You Don’t, My Love!

Pass Me Not... By Benedict Chidiele

J

ust recently (today, September 27^th, actually), I realized that poetry is suddenly becoming a dying art in this part of the world! Long gone are the days when we woo our love interest with the sweet words only good poetry can inspire. Dead are the days when sweet songs are spiced with poetic words and lyrics that it melts our hearts a thousand times over!

Today, however, Suya, Point-and-Kill, Nkwobi, isi ewu and expensive gifts have slowly but sadly taken away all the sweetness poetry offers to romance and true love. Dead are the sweet essences and feelings of eternal bliss sweet poems inspired in the heart and soul.  

So today, of all the days gone by since I last wrote this beautiful poem, I remember the feeling that led me to put down these inspiring words. I hope you find inspiration in and from it as well, so that we may reignite the unadulterated passion sweet and timeless poetry brings to our heart and soul, and to true love!

Enjoy!

PASS ME NOT…

Pass me not, my freshest of flowers.
Make home with me as I count the hours.
And come rain, come shine, come hot, come cold,
Let me find in thy form a belle to behold.

Pass me not, my sweetest of showers.
Pour thy peace in my soul to liven my powers.
That my eyes through thine glitter gazes of gold;
A lightnin' of LOVE our twain hearts to hold.

I've been waitin' here - lone - many a long while.
I've laughed and made laugh without a single smile.
For it's thee who I want - it's thee I long;
It's the rhythm thou sound I bless make my song.
And till stars fade, rain freeze, Sun fall, and Moon fail,
PASS ME NOT - 'cause it's thee I wait to set on sail...
