"YIMIKA"
In the midst of toxicity, our love will blossom as we learn to love and depend on each other.
Male muse as: Olaedo
Female muse as: Iyebiye
Olaedo:
We survive! Star of mine, we live!
Through all the briars and bramble of hate, we live still! I heeded your righteous plea and your nard encompasses me. A thing of consternation that it has to be in this wasted society... .
.
Iyebiye:
Allow me anchor you, my beloved, for a worthy companion is worth its weight in gold in these perilous times. Let your arms envelope me in this celestial union, for my gift is priceless. Let these flames bloom us into a constellation amongst these gases of poison for as lotuses only blossom in the mud, we can only find love in the most hopeless places.... Final text :
In a toxic and poisonous era...
In our bid to stay pure...
Amidst the dark abyss...
We reach for each other...
For only love is pure
