You are the most precious bead<br>
The only reason market is bustling<br>
<a class="zem_slink" title="Charming (Sons of Anarchy)" href="http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/soa/#Nav/RalliesRidesRuns/HistoryOfCharming" target="_blank" rel="homepage">Charming</a> all buyers to come by<br>
You are the princess Ayotomiwa<br>
The daughter of King Adekanbi, the then <a class="zem_slink" title="List of rulers of the Yoruba state of Oyo" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rulers_of_the_Yoruba_state_of_Oyo" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">Alafin of Oyo</a><br>
The one beautiful maiden all eyes pursue<br>
Last night I heard ‘awoko’ perching on the tree’s trunk<br>
Praising your <a class="zem_slink" title="Beauty" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauty" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">beauty</a> like growing days old maize
<p>I once heard ‘akewi’ too in the cubicle of ‘Eetu’ attire<br>
Compared your beauty with colorful shape appears while sun<br>
And mirrors exchange pleasantries<br>
Not long ago, I heard ‘ewiri’ of blacksmith<!--more--><br>
Depicted your beauty as night full of stars<br>
Your round-shape face like 15th day moon<br>
The hollows that form in your cheeks while smiling<br>
Like compass’ drawing circle<br>
Entangling me in your love’s web</p>
<p>You are water in the morning’s stream<br>
Should I speak about your legs?<br>
Which stand upright like cedars<br>
‘Sugbon o’ all these are mere blessing from ‘Eledua’<br>
For your real beauty is hidden<br>
Between grasp of genial and homely character</p>
<p>As it’s said beauty without character<br>
Is like moony night without stars<br>
Like sweet smelling fruit with bad taste<br>
Your bewitching behavior<br>
Could appeal to the scariest demon<br>
And your dovely attitude<br>
Leaves me hanging me on your trapping hook<br>
Which I can never escape from</p>
<p>I will forever remember the day<br>
Your soft-spoken words can tame angry lions<br>
You are a simple stream<br>
Mediates the conflict of two trees<br>
You are not just a beauty in look<br>
Also a beauty in flesh<br>
The most beautiful of all beauties</p>
<p><em><strong>*’Sugbon o’ but</strong></em><br>
