ROMANTICISM: 'TALE OF LOVE TO MY LOVE' BY AJAKAYE STRIDA

Since we have begun to write our love story,

I have never experienced you leave without a peck,

but I could see your heart  kissing me a thousand times,

and I am feeling your lips till this second.

Today marks 25th of April, 2022,

and you dropped me some goodies on Saturday before moving,

the heavens cried yesterday, 24th.

I have mentioned three days now,

but the rain was so angry yesterday,

it almost stole the warmth you stored in my heart,

did you see me knock on the aeroplane's door,

I helped you shut the windows of the aeroplane,

yes, the windows very close to you,

did you think about me?

I trust you know my room is coloured with your memories?

Oh Love!

your picture on the calendar you offered me weeks ago,

I wish you could just see it placed on my beating chest,

through out the afternoon, evening, and night til this morning,

Okanmi...Love, our beautiful moments are rich,

they are smiling my thoughts about you,

I am seeing colours of all trees in LASU,

bacause I am deeply missing you, 

'I AM FULLY WITH YOU',

your WhatsApp message has made part of my morning,

Olowoorimi, Olowooridayo, Eminitirenikan,

I know you miss something about me,

my smiles, care, prayers...

don't miss too much, I am still doing all for you.

My Mr. Traveller Love!

I pray you come home safely,

with sound health, multiples blessings, better attitude and millions in your accounts,

mercy of God has embraced you Aadunmi,

Maa Shaa Allah.

Dear readers,

don't think I have risen with my fictional lines again,

this is not just poetry,

they are real lines,

from the spirit of my feelings 

from the heart of my thoughts,

I write a TALE OF LOVE TO MY LOVE.
