POEM 120: YOU DON'T NEED TO KISS ALL FROGS

Amina, you don't need to kiss all frogs
to find your Knight in shiny amour
This sensation isn't amore
Don't hold on...
To swipe away the clouds
that mask your face with pain.
Your Knight will come,
Won't you wait?

Hush,
When hop hop hop, they jump
and sing endearments with croaky voices...

Don't rush,
Weren't you told?
Don't cry. Don't fall
it's a pond of toads.

Swim across ashore
Stand under the sun and smile
Your Knight surely shall come, 
though not on a horse
to take your heart on a ride.

You don't need to kiss all frogs
to taste the flavour of love.
Ali will come, Amina,
in short a while
