macaulay akinbami - Dont come too soon.

Someday I will be gone

This desk will empty be someday
This bed will not keep me here forever
One day on a lonely route, reroute as I came
Thoughts of unknown farewell bids
By many who like troupe show sympathy for my departure
Tear as usual flowing from sympathizers not wishing death
But these tears ran many times from these eyes in the secret places
In pleas for a better place when I am gone

Wish I stayed awhile,
But death, like a merciless brigand
Visits by illness, by war, by hazards and by aging weakness strengthened
These harm we bare anticipating by installment

These tears when they cease
And labors when it’s done
Our desires and lifelong longings
Exposed by death with all unspoken greed and selfish vanities

To the friends,
Love all amore; continue the good spirit
and to the foes, who made themselves so
I say
Be this our parting kiss?
Shall offences be from the heart grave bound with no mercy?
Forgive as I go
Forgive again I say


I miss friends, there is a better one, Him I crave
House from whence I shall be refused entry, yet a glorious one is my desire
Inheritance, these be no issues, as terrestrial lots like worm doth fade

Someday I will be gone
As you that read will follow suit at your time by destiny’s choice
So long or too short?
Yes someday
Bid me farewell with sober silence as death demands
I will wait for you at the crossing where the great Judge
Will by Himself do all He pleases unquestioned
Bid me farewell someday
But dont come too soon
