He said, to be with you
beside you, having you carry my seed would have been the honor
Watching you, exist with me inside of you, you don't understand
They'll never understand…….you, how much I feel for you
You are three ladies in one, many days an less nights
An African goddess, you hold moons, your eyes……I cannot bear to look into
****, looking into them eyes of yours is like looking at a thousand fireflies in harmony
In agreement with this mere in me that  we beheld beautiful
He said, turn around and face me
Let the stars pause in their quest, moons behold you
Let dawn make her entrance earlier and still she won't come close  to you, no she cannot compete
Nothing comes close to you…….no…….nothing
For you hold more grace and class than any other creature thats walked the face of the earth
See you have this pride, this je se nais quoi that no one else possesses
when I see you….
Ladies and gentleman I stood there knees shaking, heart pounding
This man knew how to string words, to pick em like one would pick a rose come to me
present them an say these I picked for you, they remind me of you, for like them you are forever
He knew how to cater sweet poetry to a woman
I blushed
Studying the art in his gaze,
he took a breathe
He said, how many times must I tell you, kissing you, holding you is like that of a rose
it lingers, stays with me, keeps me wide awake
I am more aware of you, your presence, your existence more than I have been of any other woman
You are bone of my bones, flesh of my flesh my Eve, my Rachel, my Rebecca
Mother of my offspring, lover of my soul, Nakupenda milele
