(This Poem was inspired and dedicated to my late friend: Princess Betty Anneh Bisong.)
‘The princess in his song
a love they nurtured for long
such a beautiful thing
how they’ll dance and sing
after they are formally married
she’ll be happily carried
but this daughter of a king
never wore his ring
they did fixed a date
mysteriously aborted by fate
now the distance she hold
where she’ll never grow old
perhaps they’ll see again
where agape love reign
but the agony of missing her
caged him to love another.’
