She Satisfied Him with Love
I like adding life to lifeless lives that is why I cannot do without creative writing, because it is a way of touching some hopeless lives
1. He looked right and
Left to ensure that
No one is coming
Neither anyone at sight
2. After ensuring that the
Place is secured its
Only him there, he
Started digging the ground
3. Intermittently during the period
Of digging would stop
To see if the
Place is yet secured
4. The earth crust is not
Hard for it rained
Few days back. Soon
Finished digging the land
5. Put what he wants
To hid inside the
Soil covered it and
Planted a tree there
6. The planted tree is
A sign and to shift
Curious people’s mind when
Get to the location
7. If such is not
Done, some inquisitive minds
Could unearthing it and
The secret would be known
8. He left for home
Everyone who gets there
And sees the planted
Tree looks ‘n’ passes by
9. It has been years
Since this was done
He is living alone
Given none a chance
10. None can enter his
Life again, having been
Jilted by his “Ex”
He sealed his heart
11. He loved his “Ex”
With all he had
Never believed his eyes
When he saw her
12. In the arms of
Another man caressing her
Laughing hilariously subsumed in
His arms didn’t see him
13. She confirmed when contacted
Saying he should ‘ve
Seen that long before
Then for it’s unhidden
14. “Thinking you want to
Be second fiddle that’s
Why you kept coming
To me” She echoed
15. Left him unceremonially, without
Waiting for a reply
From him. His mouth
Opened can’t be closed
16. Before he got over
This took time and
On getting over decides
To bury his love life
17. I will never love
Again, neither wants anyone
To love me again
There is no love
18. Talk from people fell
To deaf ear for
He didn’t listen as
He became man alone
19. She was new on
The earth and during
The course of movement
Before getting a shelter
20. Discovered the planted tree
Of yesteryears while resting
Under the tree saw
Something that was strange
21. Still new, on earth
Had time, she tried
To push the root
Of the tree apart
22. As she does this
Hole seen, “this’ weird”
She said to self
Something must be here
23. Nothing to work with
Its painful, had to
Give it time, covered
Back and left place
24. Her mind was there
The following day returned
To the site with
Utensil to use there
25. After un-earthing discover it
Was love that has
Been buried. Oh no
Shouldn’t be, covered back
26. He on other hand
Continued his lifestyle with
No female acquaintance again
Wasn’t moved by any
27. The new one has
Been integrated into the
Society transacting businesses with
Others within and without
28. He and she met
Their souls also met
And he became moved
Firstly in many years
29. Has anyone un-earthen the
Love I hid? It’s
Strange. He rushed there
And found her there
30. Taking care of the
Love he has hid
Watering and pruning the
Tree by day and night
31. This is my heart
She said, when he
Comes he would know
I ‘ve found him
32. She stayed there, his
Heart could not leave
Her to be alone
Returned there and connected
33. He thence knew happiness,
Joy and peace as
She satisfied him with
Genuine and uncommon love

Cute poem. So many people take nature for granted. And it's a beautiful creation that God gave to us.
