You Promised Poem by Israel Dammy Ipaye

Several promises made in this our little premises
lady had I thought would aggrandized never with banes
Hundred times beyond these our reasonability
But our tomorrow says never decide for itself
What itself could decisively decide
Oh lady you promised to shower the kisses on me
When shivering with summer hot as the sun
To keep me warm when perspiring
With the weather cool as the snows but at my back do I perceived
This sound of consciousness cooo roo kooo
Then I knew this time our time was running out
Running to hell where they could never be seen
Hurrying down to river where we shall see them
No more not even in our dreams
Now do I never debunk, we proposed
But the intractable future I heard disposes
After we sang those songs we may never sing again
After we dreamt those our dreams onyx
Which after will be once upon a time
We are married to day and never more
I thought the key to that luxury in love
Given to us to marshal and manipulate
I thought amicably, we could burry the hatchet
maybe between the two cat and rat
I never thought there could be an unending end
I dreamt of the beginning and was oblivious of the extreme fate
I tasted the sugarcane and never thought of
The upper stem pool of tastelessness
I ran the speed in this express
I never thought there might be potholes ahead
The mere headache I trivialized turned out
To be the intractable monster I never dreamt of
Which could turn a hundred year of light dark?
I have seen both life and death, love and hatred
Now how I could contrast which one is friendly and cool
If juxtaposed, Oh! Life I mean love, love I mean unending love
My love goodbye is hardest to say
Looking to imagine a life without you
I never know what could become of me
My love I hope to travel soonest
Even at prime is with no regret tonight
I mean no ribs hanging on my oesophagus lass.
