ADUKE!

Under the shadows of regrets,
I flashed back to the past,
As the owls hummed dirges
Of our dead love.

Days under the Iroko tree,
Where the spirit of love live.
I chuckled in pain,
The days are gone!

Tears trickled down my face,
As I remembered how we fell out of grace.
Loved kicked us out of his garden,
Unto the cruel hands of hatred.

Aduke! I scream your name in tears,
In shame and guilt I plead,
Let's return to the tree
Let's experience Love's smile again.

My mind is empty,
I'm going crazy.
All day long your name is all I mutter,
Aduke, Your love is all I seek.

I am Emmanuel
