In this world words I reside
Where words compete to be regarded
In world of words where numerous are patios
Not only my ear, even my nose perceive noise.
In stillness and serenity came the voice
‘Wonder how it bypasses the world’s thunderous noise
Deep from the world of words me he summons
From the utterances of tribes me he beckons.
It’s beautiful than the melodious voice of birds
It’s distinct from the voice that has always been said
Deep it sinks into your brain
Comfort it gives like rain.
Like my future talk, it captures my attention
Like an emotional kiss, it arouses my emotion
And to his voice, I gave my ears in submission.
Alas! The voice is my lover…
It’s my lovers whisper
He told me his love for me is ever
And that together we will be forever.
Tola Adegbite.
