To thee Eledumare
God of creation
And founder of the Universe
I subdue

At the nick of time
Walkin across several roads
Crossin along several paths
Searchin and waitin
Like a hunter seekin its prey
You found me a woman

A virgin woman
Of honor and of elegance
Of beauty and of gait
To wipe off those tears
Formed from time past

They cursed
But I imagined
They hissed and hooted
Still in my hurt
I smiled
Still he watched and
He laughed…

In my impatience
I ran from pillar to post
Takin up all stench
Drinkin from putrefied hearts
Till I was dealt a blow
A very deep cut
With emblazoned scars

Each time
Indifferent, I stood again
But my legs could only carry far
Fall again I did
All the time
Hurtin my marrow
Until you came along

Then my swagger turned into walkin
And my fears turned into calm
Shocked, I resisted
Fought hard
Or how could this be
Was I in some kind of dream
I asked
Until that sunny day
When I unlocked my eyes
And there you stood
In a distance…smiling …beaming
Telling me to come
Into the warmth of your world…
