Analysis of REST IN LOVE
shem godwins 1994 (Kenya)
I want to die while,you
Still love me,while,
You still cherish and feel,
The radiations of my smiles,
The moisture of my kisses,
And the caresses of my heart.
I want to die while,you
Holding my waist and chin,
When my breathe sweeps away,
Take me to the land,unknown,
Look deep into my eyes,ans be assured,
On the next side of life,I'll be waiting for you.
I want to die knowing,
In my solitary bed room,
I'll still hold to your thoughts
And be the reason why,
You will give up on everything,
But our love and vows.
I want die sure that,
When the rains shall fall,
On my grave and,
The sun shall dry it,
When the wind shall blow away,
The signs of my grave,
You'll see my tears and,
Tune up in pride.
But when I'll close my eyes,
When I'll shut my lips,
When I'll refuse to sing,
Forever in your ears,
Let grief not decorate,
Your heart and bright smile.
For then my love,
My spirit won't cry,
My ghost won't wander,
For your love and care,
A'last, I will rest in love.
