To My Beloved Poem by Charles Kanyuga

I lie on this rock
In the cool of the night
I lit a torch for you
A banner I lift
With your name written on in bold
I read it to my friends
But they can't get it
Because I built our hut
But I won't sleep in it

A great hedge sorrounds it
With a gate of steel
Nobody goes in till the sacred night
There is an animal, its very fierce
But it bites only when you allow it in
Do not open your doors or windows
Wait till I come home to your father
I purchased a horse and a chariot
We'll ride on it to our home
