(Dedicated to Lt. Wife, Eunice Yanthan Pfithu)
They say we were flawlessly matched Certainly, electrifying charm you wear, Smile you compose kill thousand fellows; We glide like a kite amid clouds, On pony we ride have myriad memories; Ev’ry ferry you pass makes unruffled sea. The glorious scenic cannot be matched The God gifted frankincense you wear, Whilst you move the sun rays follows; Your spoken words touch and clout All! With you my existence faces no worries; Soon thy ailing health I see.
Methinks I’ll never lost my way For you’re my compass each way I go, Oh but, bedbound you went; Pallid to puny you had gone by and by, Your glittering long rainbow hair fall; Acute pain and afflict trauma I face. Music dropped, silence paved its way The pulse ceasing ‘nd ‘bout to go, Your blue tears rolled and then went Down to the pillow, mine too by and by; I pretend no cry, but it cogently fall, I was then with cold body near your space.
I drank my anguish deep I am drunk in sorrow, My mind befogged in agony; My shadow followed me never, I’m blinded in tears; Catastrophe devoured ‘nd am alarm. Angry to God, I keep I know not where to grow, I only see disastrous destiny; The world see am happy never- Not e’en a year our holy conjugal enters Thence breathed your last in my mortal arm.
I screeched rumble rain My tears bathe me through, My throat garrotte forcefully; The daggers slice me piece to piece, The blood stagnant to pond; I yearning breathing in your world. The love of mine never rose again Insomnia haunts me through and through, Your face in my soul comes daily; The love I gave you is my masterpiece, The love you gave is the strongest bond; I implore God to obsess me by thy world.
‘Am walking my spirit in the hollow land Cos, the sun never rose in my land!
