The Casual Saying Poem by Joshua Adeyemi

She'd expected such words from me:
Such words spoken even by kids.
- -At the death of the dawn at 'terday,
Ibiwale had said it to have Ibitoke's heart astray.- - -

And now, she want I also,
To Elate my glottis, and be as foe
To my Dignity and high-leveled ideology-
Perhaps she'd constructed her philosphy.

Arike had called me:
'Ade, When will you tell me
What Kunle told Shade at the bar?
I'm afraid your proffesed affections to me Is a lie'.

Short of words and actions was I,
Gazing at the betraying sky,
Whose brightness was glazed with fury-
Staying too long without an attempt to leave.

'Arike', I said:
My apples on her body misled.
'Shall Olusupa* say he knows not what manamana*- his lover says? :
If he say so, Eledumare* for stripe,
shall have him lay.

Thy hymns and eyes I can Sing,
But my lips are too weak to bear it!
Not that my heart dread thy words:
But 'Eyi ti a a mo, lo po ju o hun ti a mo lo'.

'Wura mi, Go now for a while,
Wear the costliest jewel- thy heavy smile.
But What you till my heart for, I will not Utter:
For my actions had had it uttered.

Then she left angrily:
I Know not, whether or not she'll return to me.
What she did want Is a casual saying:
That even the waves to the reefs says it.

She'd made mistake in her perceptions,
And would never consider my conception:
She'd thought the only way to love proof,
Is to say the casual 'I Love You! '

Perhaps I Say thus but my actions contradict,
Who'll retype on the system, who will edit?

Well, I know she'll be back:
But I pray She wouldn't return with a Broken heart.

Poet's Note:
Is love limited to the assertion 'I Love You? '. If yes, why? If no, why kill yourself because he wouldn't say it?
