Mmeso Inspires: Call unto the Deep

As you lie down to sleep tonight,

Think of the bond that hold us together,

Think of the river that almost drown us,

The green river of distrust,

We are more than lovers, Kimini

Maybe, we are the two lost wayfarers of Agunpe,

That reunited, after centuries of wandering in the underworld,

Seeking for an escape,

Who knows, Kimini.

As you lie down to sleep tonight,

Think of the first time we met,

It was not orchestrated like the luxurious meeting of Ireli and Irelu, the two lovers of Balo,

It was not love at first sight, like the famous  couple of Dallas,

But it seemed we have been together all along,

It seemed you’ve noticed much about me from a far distance,

Think of the vision that keep our souls together, Kimini,

Maybe, we are the ancient twin babies of Ipeju,

That was starved to death and seeking for revenge,

If not, why do you know so much about Tori, the ancient woodcutter,

And why, am I from his bloodline?

As you lie down to sleep tonight,

Think of how we always escape from things meant to destroy us,

You’re the strongest I have ever known Kimini,

And the proudest too,

Think of how you won my heart over Oti, my former lover,

Maybe, we are the two ancient lovers that was ostracized from Gbeti kingdom,

That chose their love over anything,

This love is deep, Kimini.

As you lie down to sleep tonight,

Think of what the future holds in store for us,

Think of how beautiful our babies will be,

Think of all the places we will travel to and enjoy our company,

We may want to visit Agunpe, Ipeju and Gbeti kingdom,

There, we may pick crumbs of our previous lives.

Wait Kimini,

What if we are two lovers of old, in the green hair Witch’s prophecy?

Who knows too, Kimini,

Why our heart beat faster than the clock,

Only the deep can truly call unto the deep.
