My Lyric Bursts In Your Name
My lyric bursts in the name of Jumoke
From thy beauty does this amorous song arise
Queen of the night encompassed by stars
Your beauty suddenly blooms like a flower
And my eyes gracefully behold it
Snuggery derived I from it
On your chariot at night do I smile
As the moon lay by it
Illuminating angels keeping watch
Of the clear oil lamp
Shining like the face of a god in a shrine
My fingers bleed as I perceive you
My hands close yours in one accord
As we jaunt
Then Babel of emotions runs through my mind
Is this love?
O bitter memories of complicated kisses
Lying at the depth of the Dead Sea
Above all
I choose to listen to your song
Alone you may now, but fight with the strength of many
Listen to our dark blood song
For your communal call I accept.
You, my dear
The scepter bearer of Emperor Theatre
Surrounded by all his paraphernalia of majesty.
My lyric bursts in your name.
