FWGE Day 22: Note of Love by Fiyinfoluwa Olajesu

It’s been said that
Ladies go for the mansion
Instead of love, but darling,
I assure you today that
What got me stuck with you
Is not money or gold or mansion, but the you in you.

What if I tell you that
You are the sensation that
Stays on my lips from the
Rising of the sun to the
Setting of the same?
You, have I given the lock
Of my heart.
The keys, inside the oceans, thrown —
forever with you, my love.

You are the melody that
Echoes in my heart & breath.
You are secret & I have hidden you in the corner of my heart darling.
You are my total madness & complete craziness;
The future I look for & the abiding presence I crave.
In your presence, I find
Fulfillment & satisfaction
All day long.

In the dream of the night,
You always show in my stories.
You are my acceptance
Behind every denials &
You are the first rain after
Many sunny days.
You have brought coolness
To my soul & body through your soft touches, your warm hugs & holy kisses.

I, long for you precious, day after day.
Today & always I promise you forever,
My one, only & everything.
