She came to me in tears
In the tears of her fears
In the fears of her foes
Her foes are the harbingers of her woes
Her woes of the wrath of the earth
The earth has taken away her mirth.
And my heart welcomed her with open doors
As I laid her in the golden bed of Eros
Her tears disappeared from her rosy cheeks
As I kissed her chocolate lips in-between her dimples
Beaming in her smiles from her orgas-mic moans
Until Oke-Okpa woke me up with his first cockcrows
His first cockcrows heralding the dawn of Aurora
But I woke up clutching only the shawl of Adaora.
