River Goddess Poem by Olusegun Akanbi

Eyes like a river goddess
I named her Osun
In her underworld kingdom
Reflected by the full moon
Sometimes I understand not her erratic ways
Her wit or her obscure wisdom
Abandons the ways of her fathers
And became a beliver Christian
Elegant damsel the best I have ever seen
If beauty was art
Then you re the artist rare perfection
Coincidence are not based on chances
They are nature’s fair selection
You are the angel that guides me to the celestial light
You push me further and further
To where the sun shines bright
Your Companionship uplifts me while
My foes underestimate my might
I will appear and disappear in thou sight
Since the day I was born into this world
I never met such an incredible being
Came from the New World but I mistook her for an indigene of Spain
We tarry then plan to marry in the August rain
And then settle in Colorado by summer
Got to a lake where we met a lonely drummer
We argued all day about the society and politics
Your argument went on with jokes and laughter
And we had so much fun days after
As your face shone like the moon
And glowed like the sun
I know that one day we will be together as one.
