"KENYAN'S PRIDE"
Here is a sample of a poem I wrote for my date this valentine
I dream of a voluptuous wench,
I even found a perfect way,
To cajole her,
Yet I have got nothing to say,
Deep there, inside my heart
I have been longing for her,
Could this be a crush or love at first sight?
I can even smell her from a distance,
Could this be true love or just my hallucination,
Maybe and only maybe, she might be the one,
The chosen one,
My one and only,
My chocolate candy bar,
My peanut butter,
My asthma,
My cutie pie,
U truly rock in my dreams,
#beauty in melanin,
#Melanin Queen,
That sometimes I wake up and say to myself,
What a mesmerizing, brilliant, hungry, nymphomaniac cuteness,
U are a truly amazing baby gal,
U are an enchanter,
And I deeply confess,
#Your beauty is my weakness girlfriend.
Drought from tears,
I am not for you,
I've cried a lot for you,
Now I cry no more,
I've made hustle and bustle to get you,
Now am letting go,
Our small and stupid convo meant more than you know,
But you have left me hanging,
Tell me something gal,
I wanna hear
Hope you have enjoyed reading see you soon, thank you.
