The diary of two lovers

The diary of two lovers

@Kóla: It's a pleasure

To meet someone as beautiful as you 

I dream dreams

Of the both of us together

When I am lonely

@Folú; Pleasure meeting you too

 never have I had such dreams

@Kólá; It doesn't matter having the dream

Whatever belongs to me is yours

@Folú; Oh! Show me your land in Akèsán

Or rather take me to your house in Òké ijìn

Then maybe I will be rest assured

That what is yours is mine

@Kólá; Oh! is that what you want

My assurance is more than that

It is beyond having houses 

In Akèsán and òkè ijìn 

I have something better to offer

@Folú; Never would I be with a man

Who won't take me

On a trip to ìkogùsì 

Spending and whiling time 

While enjoying the bliss of nature

@Kólá; My love

Do you value going to places 

Than the love I have for you

This places are temporary

But my love is permanent and perfect

@Folú; You can't promise a perfect love without Wealth, It is never permanent

@Kólá; And you can't also follow a man

Who doesn't have money

To take you to all those places

Love is sweet

But it is sweeter

@Folú; Sweeter than honey you mean to say

Not money

Ha! Àkànní Àgbè

Already promised me yams

From his hoes

I bet I will go to him

Or rather I go to Àkànbí Alágbède

Who keeps clanging his metals 

Making me beautiful ornaments

But all you have to offer is love

That will fade away soon 

Puff in the wind

As the wind carries it away

@Kólá; What guarantee do you have 

That those men will not leave you 

Fine! I value the love I have for you

Because love is the greatest

Àkànní promised you yams 

From his hoes

I bet they will vanish 

In the twinkle of an eye

Àkànní Alágbède

Always making beautiful ornaments for you

Which will become old and useless

But I can do more than that

I can buy twice 

Of what they promised you

All they will give you 

Is not worth the price of you

 No one can love you like I do

@Folú; You speak like a sane man

I am yet to be persuaded

@Kólá; You are confusing my confusion

But I am crying in my heart

You reject me

@Folú; I have done nothing 

But reject your love.

If it hurts you

I have no choice 

For it bids me to agree

@Kólá; Don't let it seem so

My life would be 

Like a empty barrel without you.

I promise to take you 

To olúmo rock every day

And also see the Wonders 

In the Yorùbá kingdom

I promise to do everything you ask

I will be with you always

Till death put an asunder between us

Please don't leave me

I sincerely do love you

@Folú; You make me uneasy

I will hold on to your promises

And say yes

@Kólá; Alas! You made me happy

And gave me hope
