 </div><p></p>I sought to create an art<br>
That’ll last for many years.<br>
That just as wine grows better with age,<br>
The art will in many years taste better<br>
That it may not be fully drunk at one gulp.
<p>The beginning of it all is to say,<br>
It feels right to look in your eyes,<br>
To peer into your soul<br>
And hold your slender fingers in mine.<br>
The butterflies in my stomach are rapidly producing<br>
Their effects show no sign of reducing<br>
My belly flutters,<br>
My heart flutters,<br>
And sometimes my mouth falters<br>
But my soul is ever certain,<br>
The one woman I long for.<br>
It started on a cold harmattan night<br>
It was the night I believed a word can change a life<br>
The word that night was “hi”<br>
And I’ve since then rejoiced on the pie<br>
Of love that came to me.</p>
<p>Your hair is like a plantation of vegetables<br>
Watered by Tara at night and morn,<br>
It remains in colour and quality.<br>
It leans towards the back gracefully<br>
Like a pine tree swaying to a gentle breeze<br>
Which has an undergrowth of green grass<br>
Living as if in their best days.</p>
<p>I am a knight in the medieval times,<br>
Your eyes are a quest to me,<br>
They are intriguing and full of many words<br>
They seem to say<br>
“To solve us doesn’t prove you are worthy<br>
To do so might mean you’re not,<br>
Maybe we’re meant to remain unsolved<br>
And it’s your lofty quest to abide thus.”<br>
But I’m a knight, my honour is to solve quests<br>
“Yes you’re a knight,<br>
And every quest is different like every marriage,<br>
O! Noble warrior, the accomplishment of this quest<br>
May be to never know.<br>
Behold! Mystery speaks,<br>
Who hears her speak?<br>
Who believes her words?”<br>
I tell myself I am not sentimental<br>
But when meeting you makes the morning<br>
After my night laden with my questions<br>
I know I shall discover something new in my heart.<br>
I will forever be enthralled by your eyes.</p>
<p>Your voice is syrupy,<br>
Sweet like mel from the first queen Bee .<br>
Your smile glows in my face,<br>
Like an angelic visitation, it is very bright<br>
It fills me with awe and I never want it to end,<br>
So I learned the art of romance and comedy<br>
To always keep it there,<br>
For your angelic visitation I want to receive daily.</p>
<p>Your neck sits gracefully between your shoulders<br>
Rendering to your face -what do I call it?<br>
The most appealing glamour i’ll ever see in my life.<br>
You wear your collarbone like a necklace<br>
It surrounds your neck like a jewellery made<br>
from Egyptian Ivory.<br>
My Lady! I lift her fingers<br>
Bend my head, place a kiss on those heavenly wonders.<br>
I hail the queen!<br>
She slays for fun.<br>
I hail my queen!<br>
My tightened lips she’s undone.</p>
<p>Your legs rise up from the ground<br>
Like a model of the Pyramid of Giza<br>
It is magnificent, since I must use a word.<br>
They join your torso which carry many wonders,<br>
But most of them are described to my mind alone<br>
Your navel is like a beautiful seashell I’ve seen nowhere<br>
It’ll alone win an exhibition over many shells<br>
Amongst the best in the world, it has no rival.<br>
“Someone that’s fair<br>
One that’ll be there”<br>
This time I’ll be there,<br>
I’m not fair but I’ll certainly care.</p>
<p>In my mind’s eye I’m a painter,<br>
My hands are my painter’s brush<br>
Taking of my heart and mind<br>
And copying onto paper.<br>
These words are the elements of my painting<br>
This art is the image my brush painted<br>
My “Mona Lisa”,<br>
For it’s the beginning of my truest love.<br>
For years to come, this art will be<br>
For years to come, this ink won’t fade<br>
Signed to “Princesse”<br>
For many years to come.</p>
