My Lover

The gentle breeze of the night  
Ran away and came in slowly  
And so does my lovers heart

Is the cloud closer or farther?  
As I wonder if my lovers love is  
With the thinness of the stars!

Ohh triplet of stars, all together  
Always and I look for my lovers  
Heart around but could not find 

And there two other stars, why  
Should there be a distance between  
These stars and the distance  
Founded and created their imperfections with their faintness

There, over there is one big star  
Thick with togetherness, strong with  
love and firm with trust, where is mine?

The bird flew in between the clouds and the group  
Wait, Birds?  
What art thou doing by this of the day?  
When sleep fullest man's eyes

At last, the falling horse arose and  
the lost sheep found  
Just one moon seen in Yugoslavia is seen in Nigeria as one as it took it whole component with it   
They all move at ones altogether so do I and my lovers soul together!

We became a pen  
That outside the earth the pen and   
It's cover may be separated but  
Inside they are clicked together with an unbreakable bound.
