So I dream of that bloody day of
glee, as on my stable feet I stand
eyes opened wide like happy sun smiles
as if it was now and here; Great day!
when I’ll burst the blood bearing balloon by lasting love bond
Tell the obsolete long laughing sun; she is over
efficient!
tell her to go! her wet bed to find, and rest alone
like once I dwelt when lifeless perfumed foam
was my Juliet, tell her! I want the blue moon at
crest!
as
I burst the blood bearing balloon by lasting love bond
Tell baba, now I want to be loyal; omo ekun, omo eya
I want to un-sheet
the calm strong sword He gave me
tell mama to dance kuluso
till my fruits she sees
tell her to sing my brave oriki, rather than birth noise of haa!!
as I burst the blood bearing balloon by lasting love bond
Oh! tell sparrow mouthed caps and netlike head ties;
that wonder
comes after nine nights of needle and cloth;
as double daring stalwarts than Beowulf shall stand,
bounce and jump!
telling them; my
kembe that seem rope-bound is now untied!
as I burst the blood bearing balloon by lasting love bond
Oh! let me trade with her my worthy walls of wise
wealth!
my careful shirt and tight tenacious trousers;
and buy the key to this tender home of glory
a prize million ways worth than rubies and all Solomon
begot
as
I burst the blood bearing balloon by lasting love bond
Ask the loose zips and belts! ask them!
what's soup when eaten hot and undone?
what's home; having no cotton to the inner court?
tell them! Only few of a few and I, shall know this
paradise when there,
to
burst with honour; the blood bearing balloon by lasting love bond
Oh! daunting dance of duress and doom!
as neurons play back those beats of woe
when glowing glory's snatched with no kowtow
oh! I stand a minute for those punctured red fresh
wells
when fiendly thieves burst the
blood bearing balloon by fading lust bond
Oreke!
want
you not, that mama gets an over filled match box?
than papa giving her knocks of words, Omo osan! for your frivolity?
want you not that your Aremu gives a knock of reverence staining the white thing?
entering into a most spacious citadel of everlasting
honour
as he burst the blood bearing balloon by lasting love bond
So I cry!!! fresh budding leaves from wood of
sensuality!!
throw not your Ogunakansoso
to careless ocean of lust loss!
enclave the frivolous balls and get glasses of
cautions for careless eyes to curb
hear!! you ladies whose buttons hates to kiss and
skirts; hates the knees,
It's so glorious; bursting the blood bearing balloon
by lasting love bond!
