The Tamer of My Heart

The tamer of my heart. For too long I am wanderer, A normad searching for love, Vagabond worker of piquancy; I meet birds, none looks dove, I see flowers,none is like rose . River bird ignore me not, Tell me where my love is; The angel with camwood on her feet, Who has two beads on her twisting waist, Whose hairs are youngest palm fonds. The arrivistes say they cat-walk But my love is a gorgeous chameleon; Stepping out like recovering for tiredness, Tire? No,she's only being ebullient, debonair; Her steps only dexterity of her beauty. Tell me river bird, lest I die: Her camwood , my beam of light, The cymbals on her waist sing me lullabby, Her hairs are the capillaries of my heart; Ignore me not, my heart aches. Alas, whispers of light, could she be the one ? Is this light shadow of her glorious camwood ? Foliage is dancing,could her cymbals be singing? My heart turns,oh heals,it pumps,life rejuvenates, A glimpse,glaring, she is, she is the tamer of my heart. Ade Kayode Adebayo 14/2/14

For some reason this reminds me of the songs of Solomon. I was enrapt in your verses.
