The Other Woman


The Other Woman

Ibukun stood firm crying her eyes out beside his grave
Wailing, covering her face with her scanty shawl trying to be brave
He had promised her marriage but as a second wife
His death has pierced her heart, like a dismantled knife



He was to mark his 52 year birthday this December
Ibukun was only 21 but true love knows no number
They were three decades apart
But true love crossed their ecstasy path
