hold me tight,
with your lips
take me to your paradise.
let’s sing this hymn
in unity, with one voice,
on a well-designed podium.
lift me up, sing to my ears songs,
with the sweetness in a baby’s voice,
call me to order.
like a police officer, parade me
into your crime world –
you the protagonist
$ I, the antagonist.
let’s fight this war together –
i’ll be the sword $ you’ll be the shield
and we’ll win the battles as warriors.
Asake,
let’s create a story
on this matrimonial platform
that would be stained by your red kiss.
let me voyage through your homeland,
visit your kinsmen
with my mightiness.
