At the Edge


                                                       I.             
O Romeo
Though death is a mirage you live in;
Have you no ears?

The Old Cathedral bell rings
St. Sango in his holy shrine
Calls for reunion

Oya,
How come a goddess
Sleeps in beauty?

Juliet,
How long shall you continue to cry?
You only write an epitaph for his ears.

                                                    II.             
‘Meet me, Montague
At the Edge…
Where the world ends’

‘Pade mi
Ololufe mi
Nibi opin aye’

                                                 III.             
Disappointment;
Stains both faces
Romeo and Oya are missing.

Could it be fate?
Or my imaginative mind?
Is loss a seed for love?


The fragrance of love
Tearing down walls –
Reason and compatibility

At the Edge…
Where the world ends
Come and be amazed –

The final encore; Sango and Juliet kiss…
