THE PERFECT DATE ARENA BY OFEM UBI

THE PERFECT DATE ARENA BY OFEM UBI
February 11, 2017
Poetry

We don’t need the beach

Where the oceans climb the mountains of our feet

Where the teaming stream sings the song of leisure and the sound of the sea collides with the walls of our ecstasy

Sunset beautifies the face of the waters

We don’t need the cinemas

Where our eyes are glued to TV screens

And our hands converse with popcorns

Where we witness comedy and tragedy

Mingle like kids on playground

We don’t need concerts

Where endless strings and bass drums distort the melodies the lips of our gazing eyes sing to each other

Where the noise from the cheering crowd deform the shape of our beautifully sketched hearts

We don’t need the eateries and fast food joints

Where our magnetic windpipes inhale the fragrance of delicious meals

And our pocket discord with price tags of their services

NO, we don’t need them

Cos right now

All we have is all we need

Just the two of us

With two pair of active lungs, beating hearts and both hands interlocked in the four walls of genuine contentment

The cinemas are our sky as we steadfastly watch the stars act and become our admired characters

Feeding on our smiles

Our conversation sounds like music and night grass where we lay is our playground

Our own self-made beach

This, where we are

Is our perfect date arena
