By Boomie Bol and Noel Ihebuzor
Spoon fed by desire
Nourished by lust
Lavishly drunk on love
Satiation soon
Repeatedly reached
In phases
Joy brimming as
Fingers, fork, tongue, mouth, taste buds
feel, feed and sweet fill
Nourished to the brim
My essence is filled
Full lips wiped in happy delight
This poem was born from my response to Boomie Bol’s poem; Untitled: Dinner. The first and last verses are Boomie’s while the second and third (italicized) are mine. Such a pleasure to do the duet with Boomie who is a great poet with a very warm voice. Please visit her blog for a delicious treat in poetry! O se, Boomie..
