I Love Your Too Much | Stefn Sylvester Anyatonwu



POEM 197: I LOVE YOUR TOO MUCH (Pidgin English)

Dem tell me sey make I no try am
Sey you no be my type.
Sey your shakara e too much
Me I love your too much.

'Shoot your shot' na my mantra
As I fire na so I trap am
Nne your green light no be wash
Me I like your too much

Morning, noon and even' time
Na tinini tanana
You colobi my thoughts so much
Me I love your too much

If you leave me I go die o
I swear down, I no dey lie o
Sugar kills if you lick am too much
Me I love your too much.

E too dey sweet and e fit kill
But this kain death naim dey sweet me
Nwànyì ómà na-átò útò
Me I love your too much.

Earth to moon I fit to crawl o
Nothing wey I want again o
Your love dey make my head touch
Me I love your too much.

Please come in and have a seat"  After a moment, she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"  "Leave everything to me.

We still thought they were our brothers, because our chiefs rolled floridly with their proposals While we were mockingly disposed of In the field, or given to bespoken tailors as apprehends; as helps; in servitude; ‘posed to carry out orders as the come in flicks. We became babies in our own motherland we became cartage of their foreign plans. We cleared our huts so that they could find comfy and build on our strengths draining our tears as they wryly whipped us on our backs. Their wisdom their prowess They used to molest And we gazed in cluelessness Cause we still didn’t see it as slavery then – but as pain, so enjoyable....
