Niyi Osundare. In The Moon For Love.

  • Summary


  • The moon is playing hide-and-seek
    Behind the clouds. A mellow smile
    Lingers on the lips of the sky

    Tides tease and tangle
    At the water's edge. The buck eyes
    The doe with a deep, alluring passion

    Sun mo bi, Ologuro
    I am in the mood for love tonight

    I can hear pigeons cooing
    In their coop. I can hear alapandede
    Swapping notes in the shady eaves

    Oge taunts the wind with its restless tail
    In the narrow lane between the walls
    The baobab's bulbous boon is swinging in the wind

    Sun mo bi, Ologuro
    I am in the mood for love tonight

    Touch my tale
    Smell my song
    Behold the dotted lines

    On the pages of my skin
    Unfurl my flower
    Unravel my rave

    Sun mo bi, Ologuro
    I am in the mood for love tonight

    Stir little fires in the furrow between my ridges
    Plant me, a song, in your loamy acres
    Palm my memory, mold my mask

    Let rasping leaves caress the fruit
    At the branch's edge. Quench this quest
    With the magic of murmuring moments

    Sun mo bi, Ologuro
    I am in the mood for love tonight

    Settle this score with the argument
    Of the heart. Uphold my plea. Roar
    Heavenwards on the wings of my song

    See my face beyond the mirror
    Plumb my soul. Undread my dream.
    Say my name. My name, my name. Say my name. . .

    Sun mo bi, Ologuro
    I am in the mood for love tonight
