THE JOURNEY OF LOVE BY OLADELE MARYAM

THE JOURNEY OF LOVE
               BY
OLADELE MARYAM

Every night
My heart belongs to you
Under the moonlight of love befall us.

Every night,
I feel you in my heart
Under the fading sunlight and shade
That clouded twilight and evening bell

Every night
I fill your warmth
Like a gentle breeze
In the middle of the night

Every night
Your heart the only voice
That softens my ear
Under the glowing sky and the sparkling moon
My heart is an antenna 
Searching for the wave of your love

II
Ololufe
I have left the world to meet you
Under the cloudy lane
Separating the heaven and the earth
I sought love in the wrong place 
Alas!
Nature dealt with me
All I see now are strange faces 
And recovery is slow and steady

Ololufe
Without you,
Every smile is futile
No response to funny jokes 
Like a dirge for a tragic death

Ololufe 
Our memories filled my mind
Our kisses and hugs are like an ancient tale 
Retold to the young one under the moonlight 
My heart felt disturbed and poisoned
For I never imagined
Our love shall one day crossover.
