Poem
I AM DANCING ALONG THE CORRIDOR OF LOVE. As I write to you, family and friends have started suspecting perhaps I'm suffering from 'lovecamia' that is, the problem of not being loved as coined by me in my dictionary of love, first edition. The sudden and strange attitude of mine vindicates people's thought about me. Of course, if I were to be one of them I would also think towards the same direction. Conversely, it is only those who are emotionally and spiritually gifted like myself would understand the fact that, when a tailed third is dancing in the middle of the road the drummer is always at the corner. Hnnm! Òreke, who will I tell that, you're the secret drummer at the corner beating loudly the 'akuba' of love for me to dancing publicly like a sales girl in an MTN promo show? I'm dancing along the corridor of love! Òreke, as a matter of sincerity, the perceptual profile of people has totally altered about me. people are thinking that I have gone beseck each time I stupidly laugh when us I ought not to. Now their songs have changed! They're now thinking maybe I'm under the influence of charm or I'm under spell whenever I exhibit that grotesque deed. Well, it isn't their fault. With enthusiasm I still carry the blame of love on my head like a basket of apple. I repeat, I'm dancing along the corridor of love! Òreke, the love I have for you keeps spreading like corona virus in the sinful country. Òreke, in the organogram of my heart is your love seated at the topmost like the managing director of first bank PLC. I value the dimple on your cheek that shows when you laugh the way Airtel values customers. The narrow path between your two incisors can be liken to Cape town express way in South Africa. Look! As 'sango' values 'bata' drum, so also I value the diction of your sonorous words each time you open your mouth approximately to verbalize your nomenclature (emi òrekelewa!) In fact, I'm still dancing along the corridor of love! Ultimately, òreke could you please give me a gap-toothed smile? And also tell me 'Yes I Do' now! Otherwise I will continue dancing along the corridor of love. I solemnly vow. ©Abdulfatai Ayodeji #the living poet.
