Fifehanmi
Love is a fact
Not an illusion
Or armies of ghost encircling the niche of our heart
& the craving is not a pure nonsense
For the kids, love is a language of the bed
But for us - love is painful
Sweet - expelling the beast of hatred.
I’ve travelled to the legends
Love isn’t just a word built with blocks of innocent letters.
Time stands in confusion
The absence kills my soul
Collapse alll the roads to my heart
I’m addicted to her presence
When she cancel her smile
& deprive me from breathing her perfume
The coldness of my nerves burns me
In the agony longings
FIFEHANMI (show me love)
I memorize all your names in my prayers
Say them in my evening hymns
Narrate them every night before bed time

Show me love, treat me as your Life partner,
Olowooridayo, I have to feel being important to you,
please ensure that you think of me always,
like I am your 'One and Only',
make me feel better to suit you plan,
show me the love that
the swears of your mouth
confesses everyday with the Al-Qur'an,
let me feel I have someone indeed,
give me a life assurance that I would fear to forget,
I want extraordinary styles in this display of love,
love me in manners and methodologies never heard before,
Aadunmi, Fifehanmi!
Make me feel like a woman whom is needed,
show me that you love me,
let your eyebrows, ears, thoughts, actions...
be a mirror reflecting love to me,
crown me an Experiencer of your own Love,
if not you,
then no other trousers will lay himself upon me,
at dawn, day, night and midnight:
to sweat out his stress and worries,
to gossip his happiness, wealth and prosperities.
Show me love,
show me in the strongest skill that your capacity can permit you,
Fifehanmi,
Fifehanmi...
Please...I have accepted your words that you love me,
but show me love, Fifehanmi!
