From
Orhoakpor
With Love
By
Ochuko Tonukari
There
is
a
young
lady
from
Orhoakpor
who�s made Akpor very sweet for me
She
makes
it
with
a
fire
that takes me higher
The Omote Oyoyovwi
from Orhoakpor
This
Eguono is very strange indeed
It fills the heart and overflows
I only know that I must cede
And embrace it, I suppose
Our Ehware was an Ungbiku-able
Avwere
An idea that is hyperlinked
Of sweetness and warmth, a cold transform
When on paper it is inked
And yet my love is so precise
for a vastness so diffuse
and so I must, myself, devise
a meaning - I must pick and choose
Blind lover trying to understand
What in this Akpor makes me
love this Omote from Orhoakpor.
Oh,
I
think
the
answer
is
Avwere,
From
Avwere we came into existence.
In Akpor only Avwere we desire to seek.
At the end of our journey�s close,
Into Avwere we
retire.
