Poem Saturday- Tears of a widow


When they walked me to this door,
and my bags, and my baggage
and all I could lure.

Since little Morenike went with Ayinla,
and the whispers and insults from small-small children now grows yonder. 

Here I've come, I've seen and I've for so long, been.
Adewunni was really a man,
a beautiful man that makes ladies want to woo man.
An Alpha in the names of men of God. 

The simple kindness as drawn in his smile knows no Omega.
Even, until after he fell from the back of *Agbegi Truck*.
And his back, could stand on land no more. 

And my joy was broken and never be mend no more...
My night lost its glow,
many mornings have met me mourning.
A better life of mine,
went with you from my hundred. 

My husband! Was a thousand dramas in a movie.
A million sorry
won't dry the flood of agony
in my love story.
