I am a slave girl
Just sold to the Nsikan King 3 days ago
I was assigned a job just yesterday;
To tend to the beautiful flowers
in the vast palace of the mighty King

As I walked the rows of flowerbeds
inspecting if all is well,
I can but wonder who the great King is.
Just then; U steped into the garden
with a golden loin cloth tied round your waist

U are a beauty god,
To be seen only wih the eyes of famous and beautiful princesses
Your hair so dark that an eclipse couldn't be darkened
And your sparkling eyes, each one reveals 9 pure diamonds
What a nose! So perfect I am gladsome
I couldn't touch it cos just
my touch could blemish it's beauty

My eyes trail down to your mouth
Ohh! I am melting.....Lips made of blood rises
well arranged teeth that each tooth is worth a thousand tusks
And it's whiteness sends the sun under cover
Hidden but noticeable is your tongue
who's middle name is red and beautiful

Trailing down ur neck to ur broad shoulders that
warriors would do anything to have
To your warm chest that could stop world war 3
The skin, the mixture of fine clay blended with a
galaxy of stars...

Your height so rhyming with ur physique
that I do conclude God spent more days in creating u than on earth.

Just then;
my legs went weak and gave way
I fell on the flowerbeds
and I thought I would lose my life thereof;
When I opened my eyes, it was u smiling down at me
A smile that can could tame a 100 vicious and hungry
lions at once

Then u uttered words I was so far off to hear
But your voice was like love song on the bill of a nightingale

Jerking from my slumber
I found out I have been daydreaming again
Just that this time I have a perfert view of u and,
We were almost there.......
