Charm of Nature
So lovely are rainbow hues in the sky,
Nature`s masterpiece as the day goes by
As the clouds above mountains become shy
As light rain from heaven drips by and by;
So smooth are the whispers of the soft breeze
Blowing through the cluster of verdant trees,
So gentle the way spring wind sways the leaves
Amidst the sweet scent of honey from bees;
So enchanting are sparrows` mornings songs
As they hop from branch to branch all along,
As they cross forest trees where they belong
And flutter freely in the air day long;
So gorgeous is sunset on silent seas
That does bestow to the heart so much glee,
Confers to the mind feel of being free
And pervades the spirit with joyful spree;
So delightful is nature`s charm,
So vast is the stretch of its arm
Like a rainbow across the sky,
A stunning vista to the eye.
Fifth Element is a movie I've watched a hundred times
yet still each scene exudes an aura of fascination.
The perfect mix of action, mystery and fantasy,
its charm is in its innocence and humour.
The characters are lovable though quirky
and that's what makes them unforgettable.
Friends from another dimension, they need regular visits
because they instantly can warm the fibers of our heart.

Tangy summer , breezes in heat
Through this season your sighs enthrall
And drench red moonlight so replete
Beneath your sunburnt, air - kissed stroll.
The silken air drapes blossoms scent
Releasing this wild, fragrant balm
Then rustles every tree's intent
To sway, to dance midst cycle's psalms.
Bold nights release stars’ blinking glow
Caressing burnished passion's ease,
That only your zest can bestow
The sultry romance of caprice .
Beneath the sizzle of glossed beams
Entice love's play with your charmed dreams!
Beneath the moon's soft glow, a city thrives,
Where ocean waves caress the sandy shore.
In bustling markets, fresh-caught tuna lives,
A testament to fishers' ancient lore.
The beauty of nature surrounds us here,
From rolling hills to palm trees swaying free.
GenSan's spirit, both vibrant and sincere,
Reflects the splendor of land, sky, and sea.
Butterflies fluttering
in the flowery field.
Nice cluster of blossoms !
Charm in glamour to yield.

With a hitch in my get-along
which set me wrong
my get-up-and-go
is sadly misplaced
it done got up and went
cannot be traced
it's really too tragic
my mojo is spent
I need someone who
versed in voodoo
will weave their magic
do some hoodoo
come through with the juju
who'll hand me an amulet
give me a charm
which won't go amiss
so I draw no harm
with a little gris-gris
to take up the slack
and make sure my moxie
is right back on track

Lady with that undeniable charm,
falling for somebody too soon
can be a mistake that'll bring pain;
lovers look for joy, not harm!
I admire honesty before I greet beauty,
sadly, I sense a glace of uncertainty
from a lady with that undeniable charm;
come down from the throne of pride
Lady with that undeniable charm,
your virtue encompasses all the others;
it's a fine perfume that brings delights
on cloudy days awaiting a storm!
Who owns the nobile smile you express
with a sweetness far beyond devotion?
Other ladies, not as realistic, pursue dreams
that are too big in concept and ambition!
Lady with that undeniable charm,
no gold holds the power of deception,
no desire or ambitiion changes the norm:
you look forward to joy, not to delusion!
prancing with grace
and absolute nonchalance
she'll walk across her domain
a scan to one side
a glance to the other
with exquisite elegance
all day long parading
in her glamorous silky coat
performing a dance of seduction
it's hard to believe
she has no clue
how truly she is
delightfully magnificient

Snow is fair and so my lady,
Roses are red and so my lady's cheeks, red, red, red.
Eyes like the deep ocean,
Lips like the fresh strawberries,
Feet soft like the tender coconut,
Her long hair moves like the waves of the sea,
The sound of her anklets feels like a soothing melody,
Anger like the sun's heat,
No words, no poetry, to describe my beautiful lady,
What can I say, my fair lady?

I venture forth, an explorer true,
Seeking knowledge, with heart anew.
Idanre's hills, a treasure to behold,
Ancient secrets, yet to be unfold.
The people, industrious, with hearts of gold,
Welcomed me, with stories untold.
Their cocoa farms, a lush, green sight,
I harvested with them, under the sun's warm light.
Their water, a natural blessing, pure and fine,
Quenched my thirst, and revived my mind.
A healing spring, with powers to restore,
A gift from God, forever in store.
Idanre's hills, a tourist's delight,
A haven for nature, in all its might.
Longevity and prosperity, God's blessings true,
Reflect in the people, with hearts anew.
Their men and women, handsome, beautiful, and strong,
Beholders of beauty, with hearts that belong.
Producers, problem solvers, with a spirit so bright,
United in ceremony, with love and delight.
It’s amazing how you make me go gaga for you,
Luring me to the sweet sabotage of your charm,
Leaving no stone unturned as I fall for you.
Give me a chance!
To date and best-friend you,
safe from harm and spell.
To write without mistake your name so true,
on every heartbeat of mine,
in a rhythmic art and constant echo,
whispering just for you,
a love song playing deep within me.
Give me a chance!
I long to love you so,
beneath a loving sky,
to sleep without the ache of you away,
to tell in colours our epilogue, the future yet untold,
a story of our hearts, more precious than gold.
And it’s amazing how you look, you know,
The fragrance of your attraction holds its sway,
keeping me on the brink,
where answers lie.
