If Love Were…
A Poem by Joseph Kaifala

≈

If love were in a day 
I would ask the creator for a thousand more 
To quench this loving thirst that dries my lips 
Since last February fourteen 
When my lover beyond mountains flew

≈
If love were in bouquets of flower 
So shall I pray for fertile ground 
Where my heart will blossom 
To fill the world with choking fragrance 
That all lovers may suffocate 
In this wild field of rose

≈
If love were diamond rings 
A Jeweler's shop shall be my throne 
To bind my lover's heart forever 
In this shinny ring of love 
That she may always be my own 
Till death do us apart

About


KATEHUN KATEHUN (pronounced Ka-te-hun)-is a Mende word for a symposium or community center where disputes are settled. Everyone is permitted to make his/her case before a presiding chief in an open forum. On this forum, I write primarily for those who stand committed to the Rule of Law in Africa and to the value that our future is better determined by the government of the people, by the people, and in service for the people. To advance the African value of Ubuntu through International Law and the Principles of a United Nations, which propels us towards Life in Larger Freedom.
