Beauty of the African women
Not just the eyes lens
It's colour;
Her lips
Regal neck
Fragile collar bone...
Stunning
Breath taking
Beauty is in the eyes of thy beholder
If you let me
I'll hold you Aries
My eyes will be your mirror
Words can't express
A mere "I love you"
You are much more than I have heard
Much more than you see
A magnificent diamond indeed
Let me hold you ?
Comfort your cheek with my palm
Breaths intertwined
Bodies warmest
Tie me to your tongue my love
Nma my love
Aries black
An ancient beauty
Africa's black woman
The absolute love of my life
Rhythm to my words
Blues in my voice
Words made
Words to come
Words I want to say
Words can't describe you
Words can't show them

My Aries black
O noble king, your regal stance!
Righteous royal, stature enhance.
Warrior, denied by no one.
Resident reign only begun.
Clever, sly, an omnipotent
standing guardian vigilant.
Stay your ground and rule them all.
Tis no wonder you're an idol.
End Line Rhyme as a Footle
What compels every life to be alive
It is best to feed themselves to survive
Sunlight and water nurture the flower
Enough to sustain and give it power
Like the winged bird that flaps while humming
Some saw it as an expected coming
And as it thrust its long beak sweetly
slurps while wings flap swift and holding deeply
Beacon of a thousand rainbows
shines through uniquely true
Priceless warm touching lips kiss golden glowing petals
Sailing away into another world
Sands turning over salted spice
Time stands still
Rising tides kissing tenderly
Upon the seventh crest Beholding you
Arrowhead of Cupid
Striking deeply surf falling
as the carpet unrolls
Before the eyes
Batting lashes holding warm feelings flash glorious
Soulful touching mist shawls
walking inside the enchanted garden silver shadows tango
Sweetheart scent of forgetmenots enter
Lingering fragrant aroma breathless whispers sigh
Softly the petals gently brush with satin embracing fingers embroidered deeply
Lips of One soul warmly kissing heartbeats stop
Spirit of mead drunken soul
Within your beauty intoxicated
The warm air shimmering outward liquid gold dazzling light of illusions
Reflections shine forever you
In a purple haze beaming with bright colours
Golden sets in the horizons dawning dream magic
faraway distant yawning glistens
forever mornings awaken
Opulence suits you, my Queen.
To you I humbly devote my life
~ cater to your every whim.

A great dane parading along like royalty
The true dawn of dreams
that lingers like twilight’s kiss.
Luxury’s revels
draped in a regal cloak’s hush.
Crowned with velvet robes
of night’s elegant embrace,
with a mind and soul
brushed in amethyst’s true grace.
A whispered silence
that softens nature’s mystique—
the sweet wine of life
savored at twilight’s last glow.
A solitude hymn
composed for an empress’s smile,
like a meadow’s grin
filling an ocean’s wide sigh.
more gracious than royalty
she glided through the park
her hair up in a chignon
her shoulders bare
beneath that lucky parasol

Like a Wind.
Bon Voyage,Love to grasp.
In return happiness I find.
Like a Regal Aura of Current.
From place to place,Slowly and Gently.
Only to Find a Land to Rent.
I hope for Love.
Better days ahead.
Peace so Priceless like a Dove.
Written by: ESV.TIMIPRE BRIFINI.
Perched on mountain peak
a fearsome eye
scans the sky
~ Open, its beak
Opened eyes
reminiscing of the life
That must have been
Centuries ago
royal courts & palaces
Science literature & art
virtue & honour
Filled with glory
A regal life
Back to present
Found a new lease
With a realisation
The calling of this life
Flowers of the Sun
Brown-eyed wonders
warmed by the glow of the
morning sun.
Faces inch upward
drinking golden rays
of sunlight, as if in a dream.
Standing tall, regal,
golden locks dance in
the breeze.
Soft stemmed palms open
holding hands
in a field of glory.
Together bow,
thankful,
at day's end.
A subtle shift in the shadows of sunset
exposes the splendid Moon as She rises.
Just as a cunning gambler hedges his bet
She shines Her best displaying Her surprises.
She slinks across the restless sky, a coquette,
limning traits of the goddess She comprises.
During Her reign over the darkening night
Her regal demeanor dispels the day's light.
auburn, golden crunching leaves - orchestra ears adore much
cinnamon fine breeze sweeping away dullness - beginnings await eagerly
hearts desiring to breathe afresh - rustle, roll, regal, revival
Regal lion of the square table knights
You know our hearts, you right our rights.
We admire you, you are our hero, lioness said.
Her compliments went straight past regal lion’s head.
He is too wise for you, the jokester told the feline.
She did not like hearing this, and began to whine.
Regal lion walked out of the throne room with a swag.
You do not entice him in the least, I said to the hag.
