Love Nwantịntị —A Special Valentine Poetry Collection by IzunnaOkafor(m): 7:05pm On Feb 14, 2022 |
EDITOR'S NOTE: One can manifest, celebrate or even reciprocate love throughout the 365 days in a year, but it is always nice to do something extraordinary to specially celebrate his or her inamorato on such a special day as the Valentine’s Day, marked globally on 14th February every year. Again, buying/giving items like ice cream, chocolates, flowers, jewelries, clothes and other kinds of gifts on such a special Day is also good; however, written words appear to be more special, enduring and memorable than them all. It is in agreement with the above, that a group of fervent bards, 23 in number, decided to wear this year's Valentine's Day a colourful and poetic garb. This they did, by weaving and sequentially donating some stanzas and lines of carefully crafted words under a single title of “LOVE NWANTỊNTỊ”, in response to an online ‘Call for Stanzas’. Compiled and edited by Izunna Okafor, this Special Valentine Poetry Collection, also known as World's Longest Love Poem was started in 2019, and is currently in its fourth edition this year, 2022. It is the collation and editing of these beautiful lines and stanzas from these dexterous writers that gave birth to this masterpiece, ‘Love Nwantịntị’, in which they also explore the theme of a true and mellifluous love, vis-a-vis the Valentine's Day. They write: LOVE NWANTỊNTỊ Stronger than real men Uncountable as women Is my true love for you Love too blue to construe Love nwantịntị Deeply rooted beneath the earth And watered from above the earth With strands full of fun Enabling it survive the sun Love nwantịntị. Greater than mere words Truer than any thought Is your love for me Love nwantịntị Nothing can describe this. Embracing my flaws, and fills These pores with such bliss As a freshly breathed mint Love nwantịntị Let this be everlasting. The sky strides red - Red is a color of love - Of the sun, setting on the rivers, I met your love Love nwantinti Your love— web tangled with a needle, to mend my heart and soul. This is the love song you yearn to hear. I will sing it to you As long as our love lasts I pray no intruder will alert To me our bond is beyond death. If not for anything at least i have chiselled your name at the walls of my heart eternity with inks of red roses. Beyond death is the bond Only love nwantịntị brings To them that love simply Innocently, selflessly, And those that abhor rituals Cultism, gangsterism And evil means to impress! Write me love notes, Give me flowers laced with love And you're my Val Forever! Memories... I was shivering Holding the debris of my heart When you watered my soul. You came to me A lonely, thirsty soul When my nerves dried of sun The memories of our love Is such a book I'll never cease to write Even in the absence of my soul The memories of Our challenges are like a rod In a pillar Straight as a ruler Our union a miracle Our love a model Our understanding a dream Our growth a circle that evolves freshness At first, I was an old boy Kissing the heart of nights. But you dawned on me Like the sun of a dream. Let's metamorphose Into the greenness of eternity. Together, we will mushroom Love nwantịntị Let's transmute union while, gulping the liquor as my companion, spying the future in oneness. It tingles me like ice on a bare body To my void sing the lyrics of passion let the wall of my heart echo. Your thoughts and the desire for your endearment powered my weakened legs to seek solace in a safe haven where you and I can muse together in the cuddling ecstasy of ravenous joy. Let's go riding on the crest of joy Once more this mo(o)nday See again the fishlets of love Swim within the pool of heart. Dear, the earth is ours And its fullness is your face When smile x-rays as moonglow Firm-flesh supple your skin in my palms The world is ours alone to own. The thought of you reinvigorates my heart Sending shivers down my spine Your mammary gland as succulent as a ripe pawpaw ready for harvest The desire to grab you in my warm embrace intensifies by the day. Open the door of your heart my love Let me take you to my love garden Make me your Romeo And our sweet loving romance would know no bounds. Love nwantịntị. Your stares and fixtures Remind me of a fairy hallucination Our souls were interchanged Each painted in same colour of affection Wonders! and Wonders! of the mind. You thrust in me a spear of intimacy I'll always stand by you To lend and to mend Trimming our individual excesses To leave each other better than we met. You are the miracle that walks me upon the sea of love Your face has become mural paintings on the walls of my heart Thoughts of you punctuate my activities, like the distant song of the lyrebird I have become your match, and yet, your candle Let this light be a lantern to illuminate our faces, an aisle to walk upon. You have become a matchbox, If you strike, only I'll burn into ashes... Your love falling and pouring Like the morning dew Cooling my scorched soul Long dried by the harmattan sun. Now, our love is better and yielding Like a tree planted by the river side Which flourishes in all season My love, like switches you turn me on, Like stitches, you mend my life, Like patches, you cover my emotional holes, Like matches, you light up my face with smiles. Be my endless charm, And I'll bury myself within your arms. Take me not as you took the rest, And I'll be your best. Let me feel your warm Embrace on a cold winter night, Sing me a lullaby song To lure me to sleep. Let me be the light, That shines Within your heart; When the stars are few. My love, you're a moonflower that blooms by moonlight, You glint like the yellow sun and your perfectly crafted facade radiates irresistible beauty. Your perfume which scents like the lily of the valley Saturates my soul with the undying quest to solidly stand by you. My love, your alluring smile is the lozenge that soothes the pain of my broken soul, Your voice piles up the holes in my heart with imperishable particles of hope. Allow me pluck you out of your garden into mine; For precious flowers like thee need a soul to stand with. My love, Your comeliness alikes a condiment, That prettifies a mouth-watering delicacy. Your contagious and confident smile Is enough to melt a hardest heart. I can't stop having the penchant To gaze into your captivating eyes, my love. Hence they're filled with kindness, And literally the cutest ever seen. I stare in awe of thy swaying features Mind dancing to the labyrinth of thy benevolence And...nay; the aura irresistible Like one who rides on the sky Oh! if thou will bid me, to grace thee a moment. A thousand much more to be encroached I will take. A promise to keep I make Only if thou bidest me come hither. Thou fairest of all. With your cupid's bow, You captured my heart My warrior, my Love Nwantịntị! Tie me with your strongest rope in your territory Be ye mine for ever Cuddle me with your love Let us fete together For it's our day, a season of love Our ‘love is in the air’ Happy Val to you My Love Nwantịntị.
