Hey,
This is not going be a conversation
So I beseech you not to interrupt me.
If you do interrupt, It will be total annihilation
for everything I've composed for thee.
Standing before you has somehow been an aspiration
and it has refused to let me be until now.
Everytime I see you, I feel an acceleration
In my heart and today I've decided to avow.
You should know at numerous times
I've tightened my fingers into a fist,
all in a bid to pay obeisances
With my tongue dancing inside my mouth.
I'm not the only one who knows of your beauty,
even destitutes of vision are not left out.
It is everyone's duty
to tell tales of your great might
Your bod is blessed.
All that is needed to make heads turn,
With it, you've been endowed.
They do say you're bright like the sun...
By now, I'm sure that I've gotten
your attention, afterall you love flattery.
They say your type claim not to be rotten,
yet you jump at every chance of debauchery,
I'm sorry if this speech of mine
Is not proceeding the way you want it,
I only hope my words are yet to stray out of line
for I'm just getting into it,
I love you, I really do.
Whether I voice it out or not,
my heart beats faster because of you.
It's everytime that I have you in my thoughts.
Sadly, my heart is not beating
because of your beauty,
It's doing so because of something
your other admirers are ignoring due to amity,
My heart is beating because of the rate
at which your beauty is diminishing.
There is a visible weakness in your gait,
you are ailing.
Should I blame you?
I won't. It's not your fault that the people
you've given your lovely bod to
are hell bent on getting you an adieu,
Not only have they milked you dry,
They've also given you a bad name outside.
Your seeds will probably die
without an ounce of pride.
I've come to the end of my gibberish,
Thanks for not interrupting
dear 'green-white-green'.
