HARMATTAN


HARMATTAN (by Irusota) harmattan oh harmattan! why did you wake me up from sleep this morning, with so much gaze? stretching your hands towards me as if to bless my cozy face harmattan oh harmattan! So dry and rusty your breeze makes my skin I'm left with nothing than to rub cream on my chin harmattan oh harmattan! You woke me from bed With fog and cold the sound of your gossiping wind Slaps dryness in my head harmattan oh harmattan! You came with chilling mornings And left with chilling nights The long rainy reason has ended So your season just started harmattan oh harmattan! You came with so much chilliness embracing our skin with dryness And you stole our warmness harmattan oh harmattan! Your prevailing dusty haze has slapped us with so much gaze harmattan oh harmattan! What should i offer you? My cream or my skin For you to hold your chill @IrusotaSAN( a tribute to harmattan season, a west African trade wind) Dated the 28th Day December 2017
