Title: Love Beyond Death
Author: John King Ayanfe ©
If your love is my Hercules heel
Thence, I'd be ready to die a valian
For you sake, I'd been a pyramid
Which sinks deep into the red sea, oh
My love, on the rings of Jupiter
Will I carve my lines and play my flute
Let the melody of my love echo from Mount Everest
May the sun rise by the rhythm of my heartbeat
My love, as death is to Jack, Romeo and Moremi
So I give my life as a price for love
I behold you as a treasure generations long to find
I shall fight both men and gods to protect you
I shall walk the face of the sun
To bring you flowers from the abode of immortals
My beloved, I eternally love you
Even the dawn and dask bear me witness
Death would merry whence I lay lifeless
Yet love would merry more that I love you eternally
For my love be unto you an imperishable seed
I carve these lines as testament as love beyond death
