Adumaradan Ebony Beauty

You're the reason my pen came out of retirement Because your gracefulness brought back my element. I would have said "kurukuru" ( cloud ) has covered my orbs But I saw you and you turned open my door knobs; It was like seeing an "egbin" (antelope) in its gaity form, Orekelewa whose beauty intoxicates like the persian rum; They who opined that the beautiful are still unborn, Walahi I wonder if they thought your beauty can be undone; When you walk with the gracefulness of an "Ife Olori" ( Ife queen) All heads turn to take in thy African glory. Duduyemi Orosun whose melanin shimmers even in darkness, Even the angels smile and their hearts are filled with gladness!
