Nigerian Poetry: 'Orison for an Ex' by Dayo Gbuji

"Your name is etched in gold, among the finest of them.

Beautiful soul

AMAZING

A goddess on the thread and wheels

Priceless, on this earth I know

The calm,

that dusk ushers

A novice,

To what you made me feel

 

PEACE

To every rumbling

Disrupting,

Your golden being

In thoughts,

And the manner of regrets

 

MIRACLE

Of strength

For whatever pain resulted

Of healing

For you to remain your best and better

Of consolation

For dreams that might have eluded you

Of blessing

For the Best one to fill the place

 

GRACE

To help you soar in life

Making you the Best:

Daughter to your Parents

Wife to the One to come

Mother to your unborn jewels

And a Diamond,

To your generation

And much loved Country.

 

HONOUR

For one who deserves it

Your name is etched in gold

Among the finest of them.
