My Heroine (To Dornu) — Oluwaseun A.

My love is like a red red
rose
that’s newly sprung in June
O’ my love is like a sweet
melody
that’s newly played in tune
your eyes are the arrows
that pierce my heart
Your smile is the moonbeam
that lightens my soul
Your touch is the soothing
balm
that cures my bodily sores.
When my smooth voyage
turned stormy,
I was shivering from cold,
trembling from fear
my teeth chattering in
rhythmic beat
and my heart troubled as
the unsettled sea
It’s only you that fondled
me with dosages of
unflinching love.
In this moment of “titanic
disarray” Adunni,
no one will ever take your
place
Not even with the beauty
of the face
For time and tide come and
go,
it’s only your love that will
stay
in the depth of my heart
Till the end of time,
my heroine in the fairy tale
have I met someone as
loving as you, I’m not self-
ish or self-centred as you
think but I only fear for my
tender heart.
Understand the way I
feel, it’s not my own do-
ing. I love you very much,
you see but I only fear for
my tender heart.
