So it happened
She brought him back to shore
When he was up at sea
Why…?
Long after he turned the bend to manhood
Still so young and strong
Senaya loved to live alone
Alone, on his own
It was not because
…he couldn’t have fun
…he wouldn’t have fun
…he shouldn’t have fun
It was because he just wanted to be alone
Alone, till the day would come
The day he would choose fun
His own fun
One he could own
He loved to love someone someday
Even as Senaya sat home alone
Jezebel saw him lonely and lonesome
Too lonesome
Too handsome to be lonesome
But he knew he lived to love someone someday
That handsome must have someone
Someone like Jezebel alone
That handsome cannot be a troublesome someone
Even as Senaya lived home alone
She found a way to end his boredom
Her own way
So Jezebel rang his doorbell
When Senaya stood at the door
He saw her at the door
He yelled in awe
There he fell to love
He fell to an awesome Jezebel
So it was
That lonesome Senaya fell to love awesome Jezebel
Jezebel began on a love note
She began to sing love notes
She wove a love zone
With love just enough for two
Just enough for Senaya and Jezebel
Love
Not enough to spread around
Not to his kindred
Love
Not enough for his family
“The two shall be one
The two shall welcome no one
But the two shall welcome mine
My kindred
My family
Only my family”

Akrofi knew what he wanted
Whom he wanted
He searched
And he waited
He searched to find what he wanted
Whom he needed
His find matched his want
He loved his find
He loved whom he found
Even as Akrofi found whom he wanted
Delilah thought Akrofi ought to wait a little longer
Wait for her
She would teach him how to wait long enough
How to wait for her love
He must be for her
She must be for him
They were meant to be
So Delilah laid in wait
Baited Akrofi to cross her path
Prayed he would trip at her trap
Waited when he would yield to be for Delilah
Akrofi tripped towards her trap
And fell flat!
He fell flat for a love trap
Just then he fell out
Out of love for his first love
The love he searched to find
So it was
That Akrofi fell for a love trapped in a trap
Delilah served Akrofi with many delights
…asenka delight
…kissing delight
…delights of the night
Any delight
Except sparing him nightly nagging nightmares
“Never look at another woman twice
Not with those eyes
No woman is my size
Whoever she is
Whatever she is
I am as twice as nice”
“With eyes like mine
My two eyes
I can look at them
Any man
I can look at men
Twice”
Again it happened
She brought him down
When he was up somewhere
In the vicinity of the sky
Why…?
