Inamorata

I set my eyes upon your nimble words
My heart screeched to a thunderous stopped
Every vein in my head voluntarily popped
I was brain dead for a bit of eternity
My whirling mind lost every temerity

Blinking at your shiny inky swords
Hoping to taste your inky broth of bliss
My soul needs this one last kiss
Is it her or her voluptuous wit?
We may need pandora's airy kit

Murder me with your luminous words
Kill me and let me live forever
I won't wait till this night is over
Let the sun drenched mountains leap
Let it not be said that we died a death so cheap

I have lost my mind in your worlds
Find me and gift me your golden urn
Let me come along and take my turn
Break the looming darkness
Let me wear your Celestial harness

Oh Akowé! I will sing your chords
Write down the chronicles of our sojourn
May the winds console those who mourn
Let us raise our chalice of light
Do not take away our joys with the night

O ancient days come back to us
Shake the shackles from our hearts
Lay the floral diadems on our paths
Eden burns with wants
Shadowed by hills of ants

Minstrels of the Word!
Let us Spin the words and let us make us gold!
Match with me though the night is cold
Join the throng and make bold
Let us shackle the sun to hold this fold
