WORDS OF LOVE; SONGS OF VICTORY... By BrownToyin



WORDS OF LOVE; SONGS OF VICTORY…
We had been through a lot together
When the storm came, we hid under the rock
When it was harsh on our skin,
 We hid under the shades of the tree.
When in the desert of difficulty,
We held each other so closely.
The warmth of our bodies kept us alive
We were like a bunch of broomsticks
Together we had become UNBREAKABLE
And INDESTRUCTIBLE!

Together we had fought in wars of life
With or flesh torn in deep
And our blood flowed
Like the fastest river
Thick and dark, according to its magnitude
Yet we held our fist high in the sky
With songs of freedom in our lips!

We had been duty-bound to each other
Lending our cold and crooked hands
To lift and to bear our burdens
Even though no one asked us why
Our vision was beyond the fate which awaits us afar off
Yet we been together,
Calling us by our sweet names!

They haven’t yet arrived they say,
But who cared?
Who? Ever was there all through our pains?
When we wallowed in the shame of our torn clothes,
Our rags were meant to be seen through,
Our naked bodies uncovered!
One thing had kept us and that
Which we have found could not be snatched
Even though our palms were feeble and old.
The bond was unbreakable,
Even the hottest of lashes could not separate!

Our undying love seemed to be our watchword
Day in…, day out…
Then it was… it has been… and now it is.
But just like in a reverie,
Everything pushed right behind us,
Yet our hands still, stuck together….
Never let go….
Still spoke the same words
Which only we could understand…
The words of freedom!
