African Woman

I am in love with Ella
Who i can not stay without
Thinking or saying her name

I am in love with Ella
Who speaks best to my stomach..
And hunger can never haunt me 

I am in love with Ella
Who knows when am up and down the road
And can surely rain showers of delight  accompanied by laughter

I am in love with Ella
Who picks my coat and suitcase
And  massages the body to pleasure from tiresome

I am in love with  Ella
Who not only knows my weaknesses  but also my imperfections
But surely makes a habit of building my personality

I am in love with Ella
Whose beauty is not known to man
Only to my eyes ; the beholder

I am in love with Ella
Who knows all my needs; that's why
Am always true to her; never needy
