A) In The Room
1. As I opened my
Eyes to the world
Behold I have woken up,
2. Still lying on my
Mat my mind troubled
Me what is happening?
3. The reasons for this
Heaviness of heart in
Me Is yet unclear.
4. I rolled to the
Right and to the
Left at this position
5. After a while, sat
I at the edge of
my palm-frond made mat
6. I Tried to figure
Out what it was
The matter could be
7. It was horrifying to
Discover that I was
Unable to figure out anything
8. What can be happening?
No one in particular
Is being talked to
9. Me and me alone
In particular is being
Addressed at this position
10. Stood I to my feet,
Walked to the corner
Of the small room
11. Where I used to
Put a clay lamp
To illuminate the room
12. This clay is made
Like a kettle with
Oil poured in it
13. At the outlet is cotton,
With part of the
Cotton dipped into oil
14. The cotton through attraction
Would carry the oil
Molecules to the tip
15. When the tip is
Being lighted it will
Illuminate the entire area
16. The oil must have
Ran out as the
Light is now out
17. Tried to peep outside
But nothing could be
Seen everywhere still dark
18. Luckily the stones
For lighting is still
Where I kept them
19. Dipped my hand into
The open end of
The kettle-like clay
20. Wow! No oil in
There again searched for
Oil jar with my hand
21. Got it removed the
Covering lid poured oil
Into the kettle-like clay
22. Draw out the cotton
Hit the two stones together
At the side of the cotton
23. After a while it lighted
Started glowing bit by bit
Just drawing out the oil
24. Palm frond leaves are
Used as ropes being
Tied edge to edge
25. This rope is tied
From an edge of the room
To the other edge
26. On this rope like
Structure do I hang
All my cloths
27. I can see where
My clothes are
Hanging across the room
28. Brushed aside the
Overlying ones to see
The cloth I want to take
29. I put it on
Took a clay pot,
Set out for the streams,
B) Going to The Stream
30. As I trekked on,
My mind kept on racing
I keep thinking,
31. My mind flashes back,
To the past events
Positive and negative pasts
32. Soon enough I was
By the stream bank,
To fetch water
33. I went to the area
Where we used to
Fetch water from
C) At The Stream
34. Bend down dip my
Calabash into the stream
Started scooping the water
35. With my calabash into
The clay pot until
The pot is filled up
36. After filling the clay
Pot with water stood
I still by the river,
37. Watching the water as
It gently moves on
Then remembered I my love,
D) Remembered My Love
38. Her love for me is
Like a gentle flowing
Water in this stream
39. A flowing stream is
Pure, clean and clear
Un-like stagnant river,
40. Its nay like lake,
Which is not flowing
Divers things fall into it
41. Those things which fell,
Into the lake remain there
Become decayed in there
42. The components released by
Those decaying materials
Mix with the water components
43. Soon compounds would be
Formed which would change
Lake’s chemical composition
44. The toxic and injurious
Substances released would
Affect everything in the lake
45. And which soon becomes
stinking, horrendous and nauseating
Are the smell from the lake
46. But my love is un-like that,
She is purely-clear,
She is clear like crystal,
47. She is whiter as snow,
She demonstrates God's
Uniqueness purity per excellence
48. She is a joy not
Only to me but
Unto many like stream,
49. My love's source never
Runs dry because my love
Allows no intruder into it,
50. My love's source
Keeps springing out
Water contents for her
51. My love is linked with
Her origin she is
Linked up with the sea
52. As it is possible
To see the floor bed
Of stream at some corners
53. So is the depth
Of my love's love
For me revealed
54. As the breeze from
Stream brings me comfort,
So is my love’s breeze
55. As many people become
Blessed by the stream,
Many are blessed by my love
56. The expression of our
Love to each other
Stimulates others love
57. At these knowledge,
The burden of my
Heart flee away.
58. Oh! My Jewel,
Oh! My Love
Oh! My Stream
59. Oh! The flowing love
My Pearl has for me,
Is beyond description
60. Oh! The comforting love
Of my bird for me
Is beyond cold water
61. Oh! The blessed love
Of my one and only bird,
Is heav’nly sent
62. Oh! How soothing my
Apple's arms around me,
Surpasses the best analgesic
63. As the early morning
Waters from the streams.
So is my apple
64. My darling's lips
Are full of love,
Yea, unfeigned love
65. Her lips are coated
With honey, Uhmn better
Than the honey comb
66. My Jewel's lips
Are very good
Extremely good in kissing
67. ‘Can’t do without
Her kisses for it
Keeps me alive
68. With her mouth
She on daily
Basis feeds me,
69. On her knees
She will be to
Welcome me to her
70. My darling...My crown...
My Diadem...My Love...
My Bird...My Heart...
71. My Water...My Blessings...
My Star...My Glory...
My Angel...My comfort
72. God gave me you....
God gave you me...
Forever bonded ‘gether
73. Together fulfilling the
Desires of the Lord for
"Us" in all ramifications
74. In blessings, glories,
Promotions, awards,
Fulfillment and comforts
