ROMANTICISM- 'SECRET AFFAIR' BY AJAKAYE STRIDA.

It happened so fast as lightening,

and I do love you,

such a wild affection between an old tortoise and a young butterfly,

I still love you than the night loves the day,

or the day loves the night?

Children of the sky but what lawful siblings they are.

I love you that I can not classify you with 'very much',

maybe we think it is a parole thing 

but I am really in love again,

like I loved my ex.

Loving is harder than a tortoise's shell,

but to love is a 'Call',

you disobey,

and then you write daily till death of nights.

Don't think I am a little, confused girl,

little girls don't respect men as I do.

My head wants to be on your black, 

ebony chest always,

but people knock on the door 

that second I begin to enjoy you.

The thing is most times...

I feel I am on this journey alone,

you don't want to ride this horse with me,

but you claim to watch me from behind,

I don't want our story being a 'Secret Affair' anymore.

STRIDA- Striking Ideas.

The bards is so in love with a man older than she is and wishes she becomes his wife as soon as possible. She pleads that she shouldn't be seen as a little girl and her affection for him is plain and natural.
