'Ifunaya' by Ololade Akinlabi

Show me the path to your heart

There, in it

I will keep my trust

Journey to your maiden Paradise

An eternal reminiscence that lingers…..

Even long after my eyes

Are shut by the inevitable

Spirit called death….

Grip me closer…….

More closer, preventing the

Evening breeze from penetrating

Alien lust to our love….

We have come a long way yet

We stand gallant

Let’s share the lost moment together…

As we tangle not to entangle

Wish we could hold down

The short-long tick-tack

that speeds off our love……

Then we will wipe off

Death-phobia in our heart

And tangle for ever…………….
