Adewunmi

Adewunmi
You are the moon, am the star,
You are the colour of my blood.
You are the cure, am the virus;
You're the maker of my muse.
Don't tell me of tomorrow cos
My tomorrow lives in your today.


Adewunmi
You are the sun, am the sky,
You are the night, am the darkness;
You are the eyes that searches my soul.
You are the palm that guide my life safely.
Your words are the movement of my blood,
Through your words my dreams are made perfect.



Adewunmi
Let your breathe deliver me from women,
From the pulse within your vein I live today,
You are the mountain that men bow to pay
homage to because treasure is your name.
When the farmers are no more, when the
Teachers forget their books at home, your
Name shall be their lesson note, Adewunmi.


Adewunmi
The maiden of the ancient Ijebu kingdom,
The caressing breeze salute with a glare,
The scary fierce fire stood at the mention of
Your name before its glittering wickedness,
My bones wriggled at the sound of your name,
If I speak gently of your name heaven will fall. 
 

Adewunmi
There is life in praise of your beauty,
The sphere you move on is the ground 
The devil dread to walk on without chaos.
Listen woman! He that sees you sees goodness,
Come stand in front of my door, I want to see
You at the crow of a new dawn from the west.
