Amalina the Queen of Sheba

AMALINA: THE QUEEN OF SHEBA To the Queen of Sheba. Unraveling of your thesis and your folklore To devour your whole body in form of study Zipping the raw facts in the mind's lobby Trying to digest them, stew over them As I reach for my wine glass stem So I let them simmer on the back-burner, The knowledge of you is never in conclusions The whole of you: regurgitate all in discussions Diverse shades of you cooked up in explanations Hoping they do not seem half-baked from head to toe Your eyes were glittering jewels that seized my soul, Take me to Sheba and witness my ecstatic reign And your dry ground be wet with heavy rain To wash away your clumsiness and depression And give your life sense of homeliness and expression Sail with the westwind to blow you ashore Right at the lake of rough diamonds, The kingdom of King Vick the Solomon To drink from the ocean of wisdom And bask in the affectionate comfort of Cupid Having being shot afar in the Queen City, The Grenfell Tower couldn't shield you from these arrows of love Emanating from the base of Lagos City, The City that never sleeps and never seek pity.
