Ariyikè
As a child I would stare the skies And find the clouds pose like stairs urging me to touch the stars I saw meteors flee restriction like giant fireflies And constellations like gold dust scattered across the dark vistas As a child I loved the night and all the things it made bright. But then at dawn I was left lonely... again I saw night no more Stars melted into the hot blue skies And life hurriedly lost real meaning to me as I relived this damning yore Hot winds broke my skin like wild fires But then I always kept my gaze lit, awaiting the first star awaiting my soothing friend, night And then she came. But no, this is not night She's sparked the remembrance of an aurora, a radiant beam, Her smile made me forget the splendour of stars, Her gait disregarded the doggedness of any meteor stream Wait, did night hide her from me? I loved her instantly better than I loved night Her eyes outshone the brightest kindle As she relegated the brightest spark without a fight I found a new way to describe beautiful I found what I had for night is fondness But what I have for her is Love so dutiful She feels like night, but a brighter kind I will cherish her More than I cherished night I will be so close to her Ever basking in her precious light I will wrap myself around her And never for a minute would she leave my sight But she wonders woriedly if night would accept her Surely at dusk I will take her to night So night could see one fairer Then I will whisper enthusiastically to night WE HAVE THIS ONE TO PAMPER.
