Beautiful Poem by alonge oluwabukolami

that hour
i heard you talk
and saw you walk
i could not decipher
immediately,
what i saw

maybe a god?
An angel?
As i could
decipher later
was the
Beauty!
Respledence!
Of the
seventh day creation

perfection!
It was perfect
Beautiful!
Stunning!

The offspring of
Eve
a sibling to
Esther
a miracle in two legs
i've lost count
number of times
you've held hostage
the black river
with its sojourners

holes in the
skull
popping out
to see this wonder
Arrested!
Detained!
They become

Creation!
That is what yo
u are
you resang the story
that of
Solomon and the queen
of Sheba

Please our eyes
spare our mind
the trouble

Goddess Helena
summoned courage
and broke the
age-long silence
'i've travelled all ages
none has and
shall be match for
this beauty
you remind me of
precious stones
maybe you are one
robed in flesh
Too beautiful
to be called
HE
He is a beauty
was her submission''
The pride of
Africa.
