B.L.E.S.S.I.N.G. Poem by Ayokunle Adeleye

You are so Bold
And you need not be told
That even in the cold
In you cowardice will not unfold

Yes, your love for me is tenable
Even when hidden it is readable
I love you not only because you are sociable
But because you are also Lovable

Your being different is Enigmatic
And my love for you is not climatic;
It is climactic;
It will not wax cold-even in the Arctic

Your uniqueness is far from being superficial
Just as your beauty is not only facial
The love I have for you is not trivial
To me you are Special

You are Strangely beautiful
Coupled with that you are very dutiful
If measured your beauty will get beyond range;
Your beauty is strange

You are devoted to duty;
Yes, you are diligent
Apart from having a strange beauty
You are also Intelligent

What are you? Beautiful
What kind of beauty? Plentiful
Especially without things artificial;
You are gorgeous-even when Natural Towards you, your love has made my heart tilted
And my love I have carefully sifted
But still it gets me lifted.
Now I admit you are Gifted.
