IYAWO MI GOING TO MAAMI

 

I have groped in the darkness of hope too long. I have moped in restlessness too long; I cannot cope anymore. Let the pope of love tie the rope of union around us that we may be bound to elope together into the sky of love. I perceive your weakness but I’ll receive them in meekness. With you, I dream to live, and with you I want to live my dream.

My decision no one can alter, with you I’m going to the altar. Personally, I have spoken and my choice remains unbroken. From slumber I have woken and you are still my chosen. From your deeds behind the scene, I have seen that losing you will be a sin. A unique being, I’ve found none like you all I’ve been. Disappoint my fiend by being more than my friend.

Analytically, this is no more futuristic, it is now realistic.

Statistically, this is no more parasitic, it is now mutualistic.

Practically, it is no more intrinsic, it is now emphatic.

Identically, our affection is now hot fanatically

Pathetically, my feelings cannot be effectively expressed grammatically.

****

If the notion is about emotion, I think I am on the right motion and if the emotion is to be a potion of love and an amorous notion, then I think I have a bright motion. Similarly, if it is about feelings, I think I am full of its fillings. If it is about care, I bear you first in mind my dear and forever will you be there never to be at the rear.

****

Mine is not about culture, it is my nature. In the future that I nurture, only ONE will feature. They may fall for my stature, for my nature or my picture but in the picture of a future that I nurture, only you will feature. Enough of self torture, it is time to seal the suture and venture into the set future.

Round the clock many try their luck. They flock around me but it won’t work. Leave them to mock, with you I’m already stuck and the door is under lock.

So I pledge:

To devise all logic that will be a magic when things are tragic.

I will be a solid frame of fame in every moment of shame.

I will savour in the sweet flavour of your love all the time, whether in or out of your favour.

I will train myself in the loyalty that will make us reign together in royalty.

*****

YES, I know someday this will be true and we will make it through. Someday someone will look into my eyes and hold me tight like if she let go I will be gone. Someday, I’ll have a mistress who will plant a kiss to reap my bliss. Someday I will look up and see a rainbow in my cloud and I’ll hook up with ONE among the main bowl of crowd.

Someday, Iyawo mi will follow me to Maami.
