Solomon Ochwo-Oburu Poet Elegiac Lyric

Lover Monster

Across the Sahara,
I come face to face with lover monster.
Upward across the Drakensberg,
I come face to face with lover monster.
Sailing along River Nile,
I come face to face with lover monster.
Indian to Atlantic seaboard,
I come face to face with lover monster.
Across the oceans,
I come face to face with lover monster.
Up the Rockies,
I come face to face with lover monster
Upon the Alps,
I come face to face with lover monster.
Lover monster here, lover monster there,
What a fate fronting me and my lover?
Let me sit down, come and devour me.
In your stomach, I’ll build my home.
But how will you digest my bones?
