THE LABEL OF HER HEART (by Frances Adaku)


LABEL OF HER HEART
Her presence so tender, like the label on her heart
She flows with grace, yet firm of heart
Heart so innocent, yet so wild
Her touch as gentle, yet stings so bad
Experience didn't teach her
Knowledge exposed her to evil
A mind so pure, yet filled with desires..

This is Frances' first foray into the world of writing poetry. In her words, she says, there must be a first time for everything. Don't bother rating, she said, just read. But it's a beautiful work of art, Frances has a subtle touch. And I'm glad I was able to read and receive the honour of posting her first piece on this blog. Cheers to more.

Frances is dear friend and neighbour, and our paths intertwine in more ways than one. She's currently a final-year student of the Lagos State University.
