Ololufe Poem by Amore David Olamide

Ololufe
•
I've taken water from the sea
I've known the source of the salt
I've bathed in the wide lagoon
I've known the art of the ocean.
•
I've held the aviary of birds
I've known the purity of pigeon
I've stepped out before daybreak
I've known the comfort of the dew
•
I've seen the shape of the wood
I've known the secrets of Gbedu
I've made an artwork with white chalk
I've known the rites of the egret.
•
I've learnt the verse of the dirge
I've known the magic of the hunter
I've cracked the shell of the palm fruit
I've known the content of palm oil.
•
I've taken èkùrò from the footpath
I've known the essence of your smile.
I've tasted the fervor of your kiss
I've known the sweetness of honey.
•
I've gotten the agbòmòlà leaf
For us to have a fruitful journey
Ololufe jowo sun momi
This our love is eternity.
