AJIKE

You are not ENIBIOKANMI but ENIOKANMI
Ajike I breath you in and out
As you've become my air
Many are the maidens around
But It's you who have become my heartbeat
The FUJI music my soul dance to
There are so many birds in the sky
But you are the OKIN; the most beautiful of them all
I was at oja IDARA when I first saw you
When your beauty caught my eyes
Your smile that day AJIKE
Robbed me of my sanity armour
I fell so deep in love with you
That I found you wandering the garden of my heart
When I saw you at ODO-ADO the other day
And saw how she wet your pretty face
I thought you were YEYE herself
In the rain yesterday I saw the rain drops
As they ran from your SHUKU
Down from your bosom to your gorgeous feet
And I saw how the earth adores each water drop
That drips from your beautiful attire
There is something special about you AJIKE
That ignite this flame of love inside of me
Could it be your smile?
Cos it sweetness beaconed on me
Could it be your endowment?
That which could not be hidden in a wrapper
Could it be your presence?
That makes the sky barren
And the wind lame in your absence
I think you are among the ORISA
That escorted OLODUMARE to IKOLE AIYE
No wonder your body likens that of a goddess
Far more gorgeous than YEYE OSUN
AJIKE I've drank the love potion in your eyes
I must be filled to the brim
No herb can cure me of this sickness
The ALAWO tried and yet failed
Your love has imprisoned me
I don't want to be set free
So when you see me AJIKE
When next we cross path
Know that this poet has fallen for you
From the tallest IROKO to the deepest river.
Stan has fallen for you.
