Ma woman

I tied a scarf round her neck Holding both ends of the scarf In my hands Then I draw her closer And whispered into her ears I love you She smiled!, she blush!, She Hmmm!, she sigh! She winks her eyes up and down Like the petals of my mother's flower By this time my body is forgone And my soul was unknown As if I'm standing on a scale to receive judgment Suddenly she hugged me like Wife who will hugg her husband Getting ready for a war The feeling brought back life into my body And restore hope from the clutches doom I just hope this isn't a dream ~Ismail Usman
