ADIEU

I once had an enchanting goddess


Who painted my sores with honey

Her name like the gush of many waters


My lover Ajuwaa


When the sun rises at dawn

I will remember your smile


Come, come my friend

Let me tell you a story


Of how mother-earth turned a gift I treasured into dust


How I now wander aimlessly in my dreams


How I now let my tears flow freely down my cheeks so they create a dent in her memory

Come my friend!


Evil roamed the night


The wind was merciless

The udara tree had fallen

So did your eyes—Till eternity


You departed without warning


Without a second thought

And I wonder if you did not think of me

Death's but a cruel tyrant


Ajuwaa !


This betrayal is a kind beyond pardon

You promised we would always be together

I took your word

And registered it in the journal of my heart


Oh lords of the grave!


Tell Ajuwaa I'd be waiting

Tell her I never stopped writing her name in the sands

Tell her that like broken figurine

I have been shattered to fine matter


They come in different colours, sizes and shape


But it's you my love i'd be waiting on

Till we meet to part no more
