Dear Nashata Poem by John Chizoba Vincent

The drumming air will come and go
The oceans will clap by and overflow
In this round world where every thing fades and dies
But my love remains as white as the snow
Your name dear Nashata have i written thousand times
In my humble heart for in you lies my life

Nashata jewelry of African maidens
I've decorated my heart with golden smiles
Paints my emotions and feelings with love
Come back and dwell in my heart
In you have i rediscovered the perfection of womanhood
By they love i look, shall i rise again
Like mother hen covers its chick, shall your love covers me


Dear Nashata, love speak of you in my heart
Thy grace uphold me not to fall and gnash
Nashata, beauty of woman hood you are
Walk slowly to watch the leaves wave by
In honour to your beauty and adornment
In you lies my hope and motive


The Nightingale sing only for your love
Across the oceans the whale jubilate
On the dry land, my soul glorify
Thee like the goddess of Nkporoland
Leave me not alone dear Nashata
Only thy love can keep me save
