From Greatness Too Is Meant for You, an unpublished 2014 manuscript by Adetimilehin Inioluwa Victor (Vic’Adex). Lightly edited for grammar while preserving the original voice.

Midnight full moon beaming with smile
Happy flowers fragrance the mile.
Silent symphony playing a while
Such bubbling pleasure, yet so mild

Brought apart my mood ever wild
Like candy to my inner child
Suddenly out of the cold mist
Appeared a sight that clenched my fist

Beauty that tops on every list
Golden shivers sent down my spine
Pleasures one could not get with wine
Tonight with ecstasy I dine

Angelic feminine she came
Phoenix-like love from gorgeous flame.
This golden trance I cannot tame
Oh! Her smile of crescent shape curve

One that won new moon’s jealous love
And makes throbbing virgin heart move
As her diamond-black hair blew in the wind,
I caught sight of Cupid’s arrow.

The fire in her brown eye’s gaze
Piercing through my heart of steel maze
Of her royal pace I wondered
Useless were the words I pondered

The silence now deafening my ears,
I have to proclaim without fear
To the rare treasure I’ve found here
But

My heart in sleep has always roamed,
Bringing more than was found in Rome
‘Tis time to board a bus home
