Ijeoma — Wetin I Go Tell Mama

Wetin I go tell mama, when my heart dey dance like drum anytime I see your face? Na so my chest dey play skipping rope when your voice enter my ear soft like wind wey dey whisper love story for harmattan night. Wetin I go tell papa, when your name alone fit make my spirit smile? You don turn my thoughts to cinema every scene na you, every soundtrack na your laugh. Wetin I go tell Uncle, when just the memory of your eyes fit reset my whole mood? My belle dey twist like jollof on fire, ’cause I no sabi whether na hunger or love dey cook me. Wetin I go tell Aunty, when my dreams don dey wear your shadow every night? Even the sun don dey vex say e no fit outshine your glow. So tell me, Ijeoma if I go talk true, if I go open my mouth talk plain how I go explain say na your smile dey write poem for my soul, say na you dey teach my heart new rhythm, say the sunset dey jealous you, and even my sleep dey wait make you talk goodnight first? Ijeoma… Wetin I go tell mama?
A Reflection from the SIMU Collection.
