Agbeke Ogo

My Lady Agbeke Ogo

My beautiful Agbeke,

Have told you countless of times,

That you are the only Olori I love,

My clansmen are full of envy,

Of how lucky I am;

Even those isokan brothers;

wondered why an Angel can love a thug like me!!

Thunderstorms or the Snowflakes.. 

Don't worry, you have me;

Pleasure times, earthly-quakes,

Just don't mince, am ready.

You don't have to call,

I can feel your heartbeat;

You can never fall,

Don't fret, am your superman;

Have told you countless of times,

That I love you more than you know;

Even before I said those lines,

Have been loving you from the womb.

It's the 12th day after our anniversary;

Almost the 12th hour after you said "I do"

Now I recall the victory over thy adversary;

When I gallantly won you from their piercing fangs.

Agbeke let me sing you this song,

With the strings I will play all night long,

Which I read from an ethereal parchment,

From within a joyous heart's Sacrament...

"You are my sunlight,

That lights up my blue-sky

You are my moonlight;

No more darkness I can't overcome"

"Your charming smiles,

Creates in me a perfect dream,

Your love makes me high,

More than any Palm wine steam"
