I have got a fleshy heart for you,

but you give me not the openness I deserves;

I know I owe you not,

but you have tak’n to owe me now,

causing me much pains in my heart that loves you.



O, see how I wand’r now

in the sea of worries and troubles

like a mad wind chasing nothing,

for you refuse to embrace my heart in your stony heart.

Eche Ononukwe
