Goodnight My Love Poem by Dr Anthony Onoja

It was a cold nightfall with stars of Heaven alive in glow
We held hands and laugh so loud as though we own the night
We whisper the best words that came aloft our tongue
Then we left the other way round to say goodbye
Goodnight she echoes aloud wet by the blackest night breeze
Goodnight I responded head so high with active eyes like an African
Dream of land somewhere around the Ganges fall
where the beauty of nature comes alive
The full moon coming from the horizons to lit-up the sky
The coconut trees abet with strings of whispers of sea
The land of peasant green, full of wild ostriches and gazelle
A place with saddle pastures and cock crow in rhythmical tones
Some falling snow dripping as volcanic mountains turn pale white
The songs of flutes and Karmasutra steps reflected by the dying moon
The waterfalls where beautify by the jumping dolphins and sharks
A home to the wild with apes, farm fresh squirrels and birds
A place whose atmosphere is unique like turquoise ornaments
The tiers are from Emerald, the caves of diamonds reels
The sofa of wool, accompanied by the strings of eternal guitar
A bed of Jacuzzi attended by winged Cherubs and fairy
Listen to the water falls the sound of rushing tornado
The likes of true paradise before the fall from grace
Take my hands and see through this gaze let us dream together
Time is a pattern lets uncover the routes of love in a blue
She turn and giggle
as though never to wakeup from this good night tale
Sweet morning came so lonely and frozen dry
It was an African tale told across the Sahara
Some never came to past in the life of a growing up damsel
Life is a page with recreated fantasy
So my lady let us run away and seek this land
Seek it in the corners of our bedroom
When the light goes out
Until the sun comes up
