My Queen Poem by Timothy Ogunsakin

Beautiful words fill my mind
As I compose this song for my QUEEN
Like the pen of Soyinka
My tongue is ready with a poem

You are the most beautiful of women
The perfume of myrrh and aloes
Are on your clothes;
Your Ivory orrnamented decorated palace
Is filled with banquet of love

Amongst the children in your veins
Are sons and daughters
And on the right of your throne
Seated me the only son of a king mother
Wearing an ornament of fine gold

Bride of a new KING
Listen to what I say;
Forget the despiration at hand,
Your beauty has made me desire you
As your life emulates me

Seeing you on an attire
Made of gold thread,
In a colourful gown, you are led to me
Followed your bridemaids and relatives
With joy and gladness enter they
My palace and give the utterance
'Princess shall surround your table
And prince to succeed your throne.'
