I once had an enchanting goddess
Who painted my sores with honey
Her name like the gush of many waters
My lover Ajuwaa
When the sun rises at dawn
I will remember your smile
Come, come my friend
Let me tell you a story
Of how mother-earth turned a gift I treasured into dust
How I now wander aimlessly in my dreams
How I now let my tears flow freely down my cheeks so they create a dent in her memory
Come my friend!
Evil roamed the night
The wind was merciless
The udara tree had fallen
So did your eyes—Till eternity
You departed without warning
Without a second thought
And I wonder if you did not think of me
Death's but a cruel tyrant
Ajuwaa !
This betrayal is a kind beyond pardon
You promised we would always be together
I took your word
And registered it in the journal of my heart
Oh lords of the grave!
Tell Ajuwaa I'd be waiting
Tell her I never stopped writing her name in the sands
Tell her that like broken figurine
I have been shattered to fine matter
They come in different colours, sizes and shape
But it's you my love i'd be waiting on
Till we meet to part no more
