AWERO

Beautiful lass

Young and strong

Awesomely robust with

Stunning sexy stature

Radiant eyes

A priceless gorgeous gift of LOVE

From the gods

Crafted statute of spotless glowing skin

Bold in her resolutions

Modestly tutored with moral knowledge

And cultural wisdom

Intelligent breed of this 21^st century

Brilliant in her crafts and compositions

Her tiny voice as sweet as honey

Her melodies as soothing as a lemon meringue

I have seen her

Standing still…

Out in that rabid cold

Alone

At the lonely bank

Of the naked ocean

At Eleko

She has passed through

The eyes of the storm

She has fought her wars

Alone

Lost in her virgin mind

I can hear loud and clear

The thunderous sound of her aching

Heartbeat…pupum…pupum…pupum…

I can see her burning

Desire…

I can feel her blazing

Emotions…

I can hear her call

Through the fading tears

Falling down her troubled

Beautiful face

Yes…I can feel her pains

Through the raging passion

In her saline eyes

I can hear the songs

Of her heart echoing…

“All I ever want

Is my savior

My Soul mate

The one

The only one

I have ever loved

Eni bi okon mi!”

Awero

I must confess,

You are a stunning Queen of Beauty,

A Beauty as rare as

The shimmering regal presence of

A river goddess

A Beauty so bold that

Each time I look very deeply

Into the sparkling innocence

Of your gentle maiden eyes,

Savoring with utmost inner satisfactions

The flawless renditions

Of your splendid romantic muses,

Oh how I so dearly behold

Your Stainless Beauty

Has never ever really betrayed

The deep sonorous touch

Of your breathtaking heart songs

Which your smart erotic voice

 Has gracefully sang with

Colorful sexxxy tunes...

Hunnm...Here I am…come!

Let me save your heart

Let me be your king

Let me claim your soul  

Let me be the one

The only one

To dance with you always

Around your beautiful fortress

 Of massive palace,

Let me lay you down

Every day,

In the dead of the night

To serenade you to silent sleep

With sweet love songs and lovely caresses,

Let me be The Royal Majesty

In your very wildest dreams…

Alas!

You are the one

Eni bi okon mi

My true love

The only one

That can save my heart

From going down

Please, come quick!

Save me

Save my heart

My heart is going down

Please, save my heart

You are the one

My true love

You are the hunger

That steals upon me

Every seconds of my life

You are the growling

Sensations that always

Instigate blistering rumbles

In the belly of my heart

You are the gnawing pangs

That drives me crazy

Every moment I submerge

Deep

 In the ocean of your thoughts

You are the wanton desires

That propels my mouth

To constantly demand

For your justice

My hands to reach for the beckoning sky

My legs to willingly yield

On a desperate marathon order

My soul on the cruising boat

Of a romantic hunting expedition

Yet…you are the one

The only one

That can satisfy my creative impulses

And spur my sparkling imaginations

To the zenith of a freewheeling flight

Sailing…and sailing…

Through an endless diamond sky

Far way beyond the smiling moon

So in my craving loneliness

I have come to realize

That you are the one

The only one

That can unearth

My deepest hidden chemistry

And quench the thirst

Of my soul’s restless cravings

You are the one

The only one

That can trail

My moral synapses

Read my spiritual axons

Mend my broken dreams

And gratify my blazing sexual appetite

Beeni, iwo ni

Eni bi okon mi

My true love

Ti n ba ri o

Mi o lee je

Ti n ba ri o

Mi o lee mu

Ti n ba ri o

Mi o lee sun

For I have waited too long,

Long enough for you

To come around

Every day, I sit here

All alone

Hoping…

That someday,

Out of the blue

The gods will shower mercy

Cause a powerful windstorm

To finally break on the sea

And curse your roaming boat

To sail you back

Towards the setting sun

Where my lonely path

Would be stripped naked

Akanni

I am a lonely poet

I live like a wandering bird

Gliding upon a gloomy sky

Closely together, they move’n’fly

Among the peers I see in countless batch

I roam, I ply, I see my match

Oh I’ve long been in solitary loneliness

I’d’ve since died of aloneness

Until nature leads me to you my dearest image

Shall we now coo’n’sing together till time passage?

For far many moons

Here, all alone

I have court merry mermaids

I have dined with festive white pelicans

At this very bank of Eleko Beach

I have cried and wailed in silence

That tears no longer remain

In my blurring eyes

Defying tradition,

I have refused to be ritually betrothed

To the man I have never known

To be the one I seek

I have snubbed off begging requests

To be mutually consummated

With many strange men

So strange to my longing virgin heart

Beeni, iwo ni

Eni bi okon mi

My true love

You are the one

The one I love

The only one

I have ever loved

Please, come quick!

Save me,

Save my heart

My heart is going down

Please save my heart

Morohuntowunmi,

I have waited too long

Long enough,

For this very moment to come

Where two seeking souls

Bound together by a common destiny

Which fate has long made

To dwell apart

In far strange and distant worlds

Now fated to be,

Eternally condemned,

To reunite

In mutual romantic conjugal bliss

Please, come…come quick Akanni!

My heart is going down

Take my heart

Save my soul

Eni bi okon mi

My true love!
