Ediye Series (II) : Light Of Love

LIGHT OF LOVE

Ediye mmi

a lamp dangles loosely

glowing in the dark

the lamp is invisible to my eyes

it's dancing flame catches my eyes

the current of her—the flame—

flows into my curious eyes,

with burning passion,

it hits me—the depth of me—

generating a heat candescent,

on that same spot where butterflies flutter

whenever you say my name in Ibibio accent

Ediye mmi,

you're the dangling lamp

your love, the dancing flame

all I see is your heart

a divine vanity now my bane

Ediye mmi,

afo ado utin ima,

in the prevailing darkness of distance

your love lights the way

tearing down walls of partition

bridging you and I

with rays of pure affection
