Sweet Lamentations

And I was left at the crossroads
Of Ebola and Boko Haram paths
Return was the only option
A near decade journey to nuptials
Landed me not in
Nirvana I ever
Dreamt of
But to the corridors of Hell
All along been
Travelling with a young hag
Judastu

I mourn in anguish
Lost my manliness to unending tears
For I lost a crutch
My brains went fragile
Doing all the wondrous thinking
Akin to a lost child

As I trek back
I was kidnapped by Time
She made me Tabula Rasa
Of tortuous moments of
Yesterday's
Gave me the open sesame
To the door of The Great Wall of China
With high Hopes of Everest
I beamed with unfading smiles
Of enviable futuristic prospects

Then appeared Judastu again
Crossed my path
Then I gnash with venom
Grind with brime and stone
More than ready to kill the ill
The Sheeje got the concept
Of a thin line between
Love and hatred
She fled to live
In the shop keeper's compound
With a wishful wish
Of a return to where
Her heart knows jolly
A possibility that will
Take the devil to go back
And apologise to God!

Then appeared an arch angel
With solemn tidings
Benign to the heart
With text of SALVATION
Embossed on her forehead
I was there again
Those funny feelings
That no pill cures

A stare at her face
And my heart somersaults
A look at her skin
And my brain cell gyrates
A hug with arms wide open
And I feel breast firmer than
Tongo rocks

Angel of Innocence
I beheld
Possibly not desecrated
For the contours are upheld
Like Milk Bush well demarcated

Then I whisper to my heart
For the umpteenth time
Don't be silly
Concentrate

Because this feeling ain't funny!
