I am lovesick
After a long search for real life
A beloved that says everything she detests
And only in me she must live
A long search for proper, a change of mind
From one to the other, love-sickened
Ugo is a beautiful mighty bird
Who, very quick to grip strongly firm
Flew into my heart with her soft wings
To pacify the fast beat of my vein and artery
I am lovesick
And forty hours after our meet
A love longing man must depart
A time when I had to penetrate
The heart of the sceptical fair dove
Fair doves that fear brevity of hope
When met for a life contract – an involvement
By few stars loved and wished by their like
The danger of leaving at uncertainty
Shakes me and thinking of hers so much
The drills here in Kubwa are too boring
I am lovesick
Now alone after a long company of Nature
Counting the sand as I drag my legs to feast
Feasting just to live lest I injure my new dove
And when on bed I wished I had two minds
To quench the fiery conflicts of holy loves
Holy loves between Ugo and Nature
The eyes would not close and when forced
The brain travels home leaving my flesh
Yearning for a love inspiration to arise
I am lovesick
Tempted by many designs of transient fair
Faces coated with pomatum and dye
Hips held tight for quick disposition
Fickle charms for brief life of campus boys
And thrilling tunes baiting careless hunters
I heard that voice reiterating as when I took the bike
“Be careful, I will wait you.” This soothed me
Her fair grew stark, here voice overpowered me
Until at morn when the mountain birds sing
I am lovesick
These anxious palms have not fairly touched
That soft creature of God
My lips are heavy, hands expecting to hold
This thin foam I lie on pricks my flesh
The pillow is too high for comfort
The mosquitoes abhor my sleepless nights
Her mirror had I one would definitely
Make me more jealous - this is my Faith
And eat up this hefty-fabric
Through over engagement of thought cell
I am lovesick
And to save my sick national must I
Bear the few days that must end
Though with much difficulty
But let not this infringe my need
To remember Ugo - my life compliment
Or learn for inner health from Nature
Soon will I journey down home
To water and nurse what we’ve planted
Then all doubts will shrink and with smile
Her palms in mine, we’ll go to the minaret
