Imagination once gave me a seer's eye <br />To see over my unborn years, <br />And I saw from decades of miles, <br />A toothless woman from Akwa Ibom. <br />My chest was still her abode, <br />And through it lovelorn rode, <br />But now I look, <br />Over years aloof, <br />A new face I see smiling, <br />Yarning bed-time story <br />To my grand seeds. <br />I say; <br /> <br />My heart is done <br />Yes it's done <br />Is don for you <br />And that's the truth <br />Adieu; adieu, <br />My love of youth. <br /> <br />The courage that gave my chest <br />A spade to exhume the dead, <br />The hope that says, accept not the truth, <br />I say, it's day is done. <br />Yes it's done. <br />The past that possessed my youth, <br />The love my heart it loot <br />The wind that blew me after you, <br />I say, it's day is done, <br />Yes, it's done. <br />The tale of the cat that pest you <br />Has told its last episode, <br />Go home orator, <br />Go home sad love, <br />I say; <br /> <br />My heart is done <br />Yes it's done <br />Is don for you <br />And that's the truth <br />Adieu; adieu, <br />My love of youth. <br /> <br />The fate once hard to embrace, <br />Through out a thousand and ninety five days, <br />It's day is done. <br />For now I do with much sun, <br />Radiating through my face, <br />All that caught my spirit and soul, <br />Is now a sight not beckoning. <br />Because my heart is done. <br /> <br />My heart is done <br />Yes it's done <br />Is don for you <br />And that's the truth <br />Adieu; adieu, <br />My love of youth.<br /><br />Rex mayor Ubini<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/is-done/
