Poetry from Ubali Ibrahim Hashimu and Maryam Yakubu

HEARTS ETERNAL DREAM 


Tell me again, how do I stop myself?

From savouring the bliss of your warm body,

That quenched my heart with everlasting affection, 

And it made me sense the warmth of your breath.


Having you my side is what I dreamt of,

Your embrace fills me with joy I can't name,

Your warmth, a home to strength & hope in this life,

Losing it to me would be a cruel, painful game.


I never dreamt of having you as a partner,

But when you now appear in reality,

All flowers bloom, and I pray to live with you,

Until the sun kisses the star & the moon begun to cry.


I never thought I'd meet someone like you,

But now I know this love is strong and true,

You are the one who makes my heart sing,

Even when the world is filled with fear and strife, 

I will be yours forever, my king.


Ubali Ibrahim and Maryam Yakubu
