POETRY: I WILL

WRITTEN BY BERNARD GABRIEL OKURUT

I will give you my ‘Mays and Junes’,

The stars and full moons.

I will serve you my heart for breakfast

And my smile for dinner.

I will love you in the rains and kiss

Away your tears.

I will stitch your broken heart back together

And shelter you from stormy weather.

I will hide your heart high in the clouds

While I hunt and kill your fears.

I will hire the stars to sing in your dreams

So that you won’t be afraid to sleep.

I will walk through fire

Just to keep you my own.

My heart will be your throne,

And my love, your crown.

Poem by,

Bernard Gabriel Okurut….

A hurting poet.

I write because I hurt,

I hurt because I hate.

I hate because I loved

Someone who broke my heart.

Someone I loved,

But never loved me back.

Someone who treated me like a rag,

To be used and dumped!

Poem by,

Bernard Gabriel Okurut
