The entirety of this poem (except verse 2) was inspired by a lovely and rare Gambian beauty by the name Aisha! This piece is an edit of the original already given to her as her own. The verse two has been included as a substitute for the main verse which talks about Aisha's Identity. So, for this reason, this poem is dedicated to the one who inspired it.....
Bringing out waves of electrifying glamour
fully captured by antennas of nature
giving matter a new meaning, science a new puzzle
and all phenomena, something to ponder
makes even your stains worthy of adoration.
Oh my lady!
so shining and robed
with the feminine light of the Shakespearean days
the women of fine ligaments, with jars of wine,
barbecue dances, chewers of berries
and admirers of calm and still waters
in the courtyards of medieval architectural dwelling places
you top them all,
even if you're from a different era
Provoked fires get injured and the sun shrinks to a cup size
when tears flow down your cheek.
All written articles both in the heavens and the earth
would be too insignificant
for a worthy honour of your elegance.
A faculty of goodwill
from your exhale,
it's finished product
many are dying to inhale.
Existing in the class of your own
with inscriptions of Angels
makes men go round the borders of the oceans
until they find all appropriate words
to sing the praises of your charm
and the psalms of your tenderness.
