To my Loving Girlfriend

Dear Gist Me ANSU, I have a girlfriend in your school. Her Name is Chinelo. Physics Department, ANSU , ULI CAMPUS. I wrote this poem just for her. This is my special way to prove my love to her.


Clean-limbed goddess
of haunting symphonies

And the meteroid
trailing between fragments
of comet...


The arresting colours
of your diamond diadem

Draw bucketful of rays
from the gonads
of fifty one pegasi,

Irrigate tsunami
of sleeping gas in the
organs of jupiter and telchins...


Honey-coloured model
of supernatural beauty...

Enchanted echoes
of your magic flute
from ancestral moon

Stand on the
raging lobido of hurricane
to pluck molecules from sunlight,

and lure fatale femme
and clytemnestra
in the loins of thunderbolt
for unending awilo dance...

Light drop
of powdery snow on the tamarinds

Whose names dine
with ares and hera
in mount olympus,

And whose
watered baby face
siphon winged cap
and staff from hermis...

Lemon baby,

When you return
from your baptism
in the womb of inferno,

We will pour libations,
Butcher lions and tigers,
Adorn your steps with
feathers of fire

For you are the
goddess of all goddesses...
