Wole Popoola Poet Rhyme

Like a Gem

FOLASADE: LIKE A GEM
	1.	Dark and radiant, softly shining,
No blemish mars her flawless lining.
Polished, gleaming, rare in form,
Like onyx, she defies the norm.

	2.	Her eyes—deep wells of soul untold,
Clear as streams, yet warm and bold.
Their promise whispers, calm yet keen—
Like aquamarine, she reigns serene.

	3.	Poised with grace, a queenly air,
Each step majestic, beyond compare.
Her beauty timeless, fresh and clean,
Like emerald’s glow, a regal sheen.

	4.	Greg’s jewel, my bestie, your worth divine,
Endless, ageless, like gold you shine.
No treasure holds a brighter gleam 
Like a gem, you fulfill the dream.

	5. Ajoke, my paddy, great work of art,
The one who quickens my weary heart.
Your presence fills my soul with flight—
Like air, you make my world alight.

	6.	The apple of God’s eye you are,
Your touch outshines the brightest star.
Your words, so tender, softly stream—
Like Valentine, eternal dream.

	7.	Holding your hands, passionately,
The inner joy, sudden ecstasy;
Myriads of belly rumbling.
Fantasy beyond all infatuation
Quite unquantifiable, like a gem
