Ryan Maseko Poet Rhyme

HEED ME, MY LOVER

Face symmetrical and plain
Eyes dark not black
Waist plump not fat
Bosoms small and roun'
Skin fair yet brown
Voice soft yet loud
Sheen but not pretty
Short but not little
Body lithe and straight
Brows glossy and thick

Be still my heart
For Donna does not belong to us
Quiver no more mine limbs
For fear is a bitter fruit that is no good for us
Mine eyes be attentive
Watch how she struts about under the cool morning sun
Look how she shifts her head,
As if searching for the map to heaven, a place I am certain she is from
If I call her a celestial, I am certain she will respond
Look this way, oh lover, heed me as I yearn for your heart
I seek companionship, give me this, and I will be content for the rest of mine life
