To my wonderful sister and best friend, Grace Amaka Iromuanya,

aka Bee


5/29

Adelere Adesina

[5]

I have had several friends, and no enemy defined by me of

another person. However, there are outstanding friends, and

one among them. Grace is not just a friend and sister, but a

best friend for the rest of life.


6/29

To My BumbleBee

God is praised for this work, and every other that I have made.

He is the Creator of the creator.

To My BumbleBee

Call

a smile outta your face

and a cheer from your heart.

You are the greenness of life,

the yellow that pollens flowers.

For this, a sweet fragrance you carry

and a beauty so undeniable.

You are my darling, darling.

The

moon is on its way to descend

and the sun comes nearer, turns cooler.

Waters of the earth stand on their tails

and animals turn to their tales.

Your house is coloured

with pure gold, and diamond.

You are jewelled

in garlands of my love.

The whole universe

cannot but take a glance,

and a glance, and a glance,

and a view unchanging, unending.


10/29

To My BumbleBee

Covered

in the leaves of the grass bow,

your golden feet do not show to the world.

Perhaps the field covets its slimness

and the daisyflora, its rainbowness.

I run in the paths these toes print,

for there is beauty in the step:

that I cannot withstand,

that I embrace,

darling sister.


11/29

Adelere Adesina

[11]

I

have no doubt again

that white sun

has a shadow:

you, daring light.

On earth

is a princess

from a town

away from the planets,

from the stars to.


12/29

To My BumbleBee

There s

a waltz in my head,

that you can hear clearly.

There is a song in my heart,

the beat to which you dance.

There is a melody in the wind:

your mellifluous harmonies all these.

The sails of the butterfly changes

towards your place.

The path of the sun at west

reverses to east.

Day stays young.

Night contends to come.

All in life delights

to hear the buzzing songs

of sweet tales of joy

on the lips of you,

bumbleBee.


13/29

Adelere Adesina

[13]

I

have read sweet novels of great writers;

but, every time I read your lips,

honey drips as rain

and cloudy a day turns clear.

I have read tails of the pen

and heads raised in power.

Yet, when I read your hands,

I see the future of the world

in the palms of a gentle, tender creature.


14/29

To My BumbleBee

Dreams

have never failed

to cart me away

from this world of toil

into an oblivion:

where your smiles

are the sun's rays,

and your tender voice

is as the beating drops of the rain,

and your heart's

melts stones to balm.

Little wonder

sleep

snatches me so often

to this world of yours, Grace.


15/29

Adelere Adesina

[15]

From

the universe far away,

there comes tunes, music of love

and of care and of delight.

All wash away from my face sebum

and from my brain waves of untidy work.

The loathe is disloved and the hate is unliked.

The only left is sopranoes of highest cymbals

from the hums of the honey that overflows,

from the Bee that outpours

into my soul.


16/29

To My BumbleBee

When

I had some sourness

of the wounds I had

of my heart and from the earth,

dirt on the mind

or soil on the cut,

it is you sister,

you, who clean them.

It is you, who wash,

without disdains at the grim,

away the pains.


17/29

Adelere Adesina

[17]

Let

us soar in wings of the

nightingale's

songs of love,

darling sister.

Let us fall rapidly

like its feathers,

but never wound our feet on the stone.

Let us pierce the sweetness

with a beak,

reach the peak,

rich creeks of calm flows.

Let us descend from the mountains

which soon vanish into cities,

hills turning into hamlets,

rocks watering away,

into valleys of firlove,


18/29

To My BumbleBee

of pineaffection

and an eternal kiss of the true family,

of the one blood we share.

I

shall gift you my labour

and pay my wages in more.

You have done more of a smile

and a millon miles for my face.

You deserve ends of the earth

and the tips of the heavens above,

the lasting paths of the rainbows―

from where I pluck you flowers,

petals of the red,

anthers of the orange,

stalk of the yellow,

pollens of the green,

stamen of the blue,

stigma of the indigo,

fragrance of the violet.

I shall gift you my toil


20/29

To My BumbleBee

into the day's most dread mist

and night's most weary wrought.

I shall make boil lakes

for a soothing warmth.

I shall make cool pools

for a calming crisp.

For as long as a breath is sustained,

your recall of me shall be

with a tender smile,

such found, a copy of, only

in sweet heaven's bosom.

Sister,

let's dance

to a jazz I have

in my heart

and the beats

of the

rustling winds

in the claps of

autumn winds

under a moonlight

by a drumming step

and steps

of our feet.

Let our rhythm out so loud,

trunks of the trees triumph not travail,

trunks of elephants trumpet not trump.

There, let's give Nature,

who has turned sour

a place to dance


22/29

To My BumbleBee

and smile

with our laughs.


23/29

Adelere Adesina

[23]

Let

me sit on your wings,

and delight in your plentiness.

Sweetest of sisters of the salt,

soft sound of God's whispers,

creature of a breath and a word,

and with wings of the heart.

Let me sit there,

the morning illumination

and wisp of lightning

across the grins of the firmament.

Let me sit

holding your hands again;

we both stare into vastness

and remember the moment only:

a sister, a brother for ever.


24/29

To My BumbleBee

The

chemist needs

a ten of a thousand

magnifying glasses

to see quite well:

on your hair, the gold,

on your face, eyes of silver,

on your hands, skin as water,

on your legs, brass, pure brass.

A beauty for which I ever open my mouth

agape, this gape, this gap, this a

wonder.

Darling Bee,

you're a crown

among Bees,

and a royal jewel

among darlings.


25/29

Adelere Adesina

[25]

Forever,

friends to souls,

a pair unbreakable,

a family without fail

a bond without loose,

a knot without end,

a company without border,

two that ever remain

best friends and family

till eternal rest starts

and eternal start rests.

Dear Reader, I cannot appreciate you enough for reading this beautiful

book. There are rare friends that are true. There are true friends that
