A Poem by Rasaq Malik Gbolahan
YOUR LOVE
By Rasaq Malik Gbolahan
Tuesday, July 15, 2014.
Your love stands
like a tower
in my heart
I will climb atop to call
your name
me - the muezzin, the bilal
in the city of poets
the bearer of your fragile memory.
II
Your love erects like a streetlight
in my heart tonight
as I walk down the road
to where we serenade
searching for your shadow
your fragrance
and your wholeness
Your love is the door to
the passage of light tonight
Give me the key to bask
in its rays
Be the stream that flows
the kiblah
I will face before
the earth paints my
body with dust.
