I Will Come Back For You Poem by ObiGod Chidi CC

I'LL COME B ACK FOR YOU
I will come back for you;
You that descended so low
To make me ascend so high
You that defied your king
To take my undefiled ring
And wave it as an ensign.


Never been a silver knight
Yet I slayed a giant for you
For the fairest bride princess
Robed as pride of Barbados
Worth a hundred foreskins
And cost half a kingdom.



Never been a hunter of love
Yet I ventured into your heart
Besieged by fangs of a purple wolf
Armed with harp and white roses,
For your beauty spelled me and
Held me as the halo of a seraph;
In my ruddy hungry arms
You were a scepter of ruby
Cherished as myrrh of Nineveh
In a golden alabaster box.



How did it happened
That eternity was terminated
By the entity of jealousy;
That I lost you while I held you,
That you let me go
Yet you want me more than life?
You told me, "Go, my love,
Live and love another day.
Survive and revive what we had."
O my heartthrob!
First love of my bloody soul
I will come back for you.
With sounds of golden trumpets,
Calling out to you as an archangel,
Riding on a white mule as a king
With fifty bards running ahead
Reciting ballads of our love
To resurrect what we once had
As saints in passionate awakenings;
Your smile brighter than summer sun
Has been my map to the throne
Your scent my compass to destiny.



When butterflies rise in your belly,
When your heart throbs as drums
And your spirit sings an orchestra
With no one playing the violins
It is the sound of me coming;
Coming back for you,
To make you my queen,
The first and last of my love.
