Farewell Poem by Adidu Adebowale Emmanuel

The last time we spoke you told me how well you had love'd me and told me you were never going to leave me alone and gave me a ring representing cycle of endless love
ho! i was so happy and my joy knew no bound
i did not know you were speaking in parables, that night you wet my lips with kisses and dropp a garment of honour to my laps saying you have given me a life cloth not knowing it's a garment of shame
i didn't know you were dead until you were put into that pit and dust was cast to your face that which you have been preventing from touching your ordinary feet
i guess you were no more for not able to get those sand's off your body,
no were as absolute as the grave
i put some dust to your face as a sign of love and last respect
i did not mock you with death for it is a prize we all must receive
but death this you've done is unfair though i know to set question is not as difficult as finding answer's you did not consider his love one's and let all in sorrow
i did not care of your coming for i know is certain you come for me but i plead you to come when i must have grown grey so that my death would be pleasureable pain to my then lover's.
