UNDERNEATH THE EARTH
.

....by Dhikraa Akande.

Dhikraa: The moon whispers in the dark,

Shearing the dead silence with glows.
Silvern rays descend forth,
Sight of the blind is brightened.
Dark covering is sprinkled with stars;
Like pixie's dust they sparkle.
The sky proclaims the darkside of the day
Oh Aliyy! It is night on planet earth.

Aliyy: Beloveth Aunt Dhikraa,
Surely, nightfall is here
My earthen abode is cool,
Announcing the dims of nature's lamp.
My ears have peace,
As the feet of men, speak no more.
Even as the dark, never departs here,
The night always inform its arrival.

Dhikraa: If only you could behold with your eyes,
The lustre of tonight.
If only you could touch the stars;
With imaginary hands.
If only we could tell a story of tonight.

Aliyy: I left with my memories in my heart.
The pictures of the night sky still paint on.
The taste of the breeze still sweeten my skin.
The noise of the calm, still drum in my ears.
Abate your fears, I still know the night on earth.

Dhikraa: If you order, my fears abated,
I shall lay them cordially.
But you were snatched by cold hands of death.
Lil time had you with us.
Your feeble body now hidden in the earth.
Shall I not worry, the earth now blankets you.
Shall I not worry, you now dine with insects.

Aliyy: Shhh! Creator's perfect plan it was.
In sweet agony, my soul was withdrawn.
At home, my body now rest.
In the grave, my soul subside.
With earthen creatures, I wine.
Sooner or later,
But surely we shall meet.
In this true home of humans
Till our creator orders our Ascension
I shall await your arrival
And you shall witness this earthly peace.
Abate your fears, For i am fine.

Dhikraa: I shall cease to worry
But anticipation I shall embrace.
To see your lit face again,
Beaming radiance of happiness.
In my arms, I'll hold you.
My heart, bears your memories in colours.
To paint them in reality, I shall dream.
My tears shall flood our reunition.
For my eyes await your gaze to fall on me.
Oh nephew with angelic smile!

Aliyy: Let me rest in my dark abode,
Before the golden lamp heat up my bed.
And feet of men, tell stories of their past.
Awakening me to the morning;
I will never see.
This is life, here in the grave.
I halt my speech here
Till our reunion, lure us to bond.

Dhikraa: Goodbye beloved,
I shall wake from oblivion
And accept your demise
I halt my speech here
Till i take room next to you
And our reunion, lure us to bond.........
