ACW-UA POETRY : "Captivated " By Deborah Nwobodo, Treasure Brown

CAPTIVATED

Many do not know what they have until they loose it
Learn to understand your feelings and nurture them in order not to make wrong choices


The nature of love, Who can fathom?
It's depths who can search out?
The best of lines are too weak to express it's true nature.


How can you describe a feeling too persistent and strong that forms a shade over the eyes of the lover, leading him like a blind sheep?


A feeling, looking likes a dream, too real to be true.
 Her rarity makes her seem like an illusion
 Oh...
She's a jem too scarce, hunted by too many hunters.
If you're lucky to find her safe guard her as though she's your life


How did I end up finding her when I thought it was only a fairytale?
I couldn't deny it's audacity even tho
She clothes me with an extraordinary feeling, she's the comfort I asked for, the peace I seek and the place to dwell

Love is honest,
Yeah! Too honest to hide under the canopy of deceit
She's never derogatory, she's that feeling that makes you feel like the very first in a planet
She's dogged, indeed she's strong and seeks for you entering into the hardest of crevices just to search you out

Oh... The taste of true love is incomparable
She's soft, don't make her look blunt
Treasure her, never loose her
Guard her foundation, firm it appears but fragile it is, once broken may never be mended

I hope you find her!



BACKGROUND OF THE POEM

Deborah Nwobodo
#TreatureBrown

This piece may seem ordinary to many but actually its not. Love isn't what we come across everyday. Many people of our present generation make it look like saying I love you is enough..... Love is a feeling that isn't just natural. Many homes are broken today due to lack of love and understanding without this your lives will be chattered. Love is the only thing that could make you go on even when you have thousands of reasons to back out. When you find someone who holds your hands, take your side even without hearing what had happened, fight for your defense, believe in you when no one does, encourage you in your difficult moment..... Know that she is rare! We do not come across good things everyday of our lives.. Cherish her because once lost can never be recovered
Know this - ambition is good, a life of comfort is better, but chasing good things with integrity with the one you love is the best
