Somber Lover

© Pelumi

This piece of art is a spic pencil work from one of the greatest recent young artists Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, my alma-mater has produced. When I saw it, in the first place, the feelings that rushed into my mind were filled with empathy as the girl looks unhappy. So I planned to execute the figure of speech irony to morph her state in a stretch beyond the picturesque into that of relief in love by a lover.

As us two true consciences kiss
Irie Cherubs'd be born
N' histories shall say of us like these:
'Their affairs was divined by the Son.

Thus the belle smiled and burnt her silence for joy
For he had come comely to ardour her without coy."
