Fountain of love

By Atok Dan

In you, I see live

Your love reigns over me,

You are a fountain of love,

Your love glues loosen cartilages of my veins

Initials of your name amount to “MA”

For this can literally be mam,

For now, you are my adult mum,

For I had never known how much I loved my biological mother,

My age was a barrier in love,

But I know how she loves me

In my pathetic, you never relent to love

For you know

I could be inconsistent but it never bothers you,

You are steadfast in business

Ma you never connive,

Through influence of riches of dishonest

For we are a bond by strong cartilage of hope

You are a natured Dinka

Which the rest are shortage

When one glares at your elegant posture,

One sees jovial love,

And that is me

How much I quantify your physique

I still underrate your docility towards me

How much they abhor your background,

You still tower among the dwarfs

Your dark complexion fascinates passerby wishers

Your smile exhilarates grim faces in cemetery
