In Creative Corner, poetry

Paint me a portrait of love
Whose measure confounds body statistics,
A security against the unfavourable winds,
The fickleness of looks
Or the shade of the black hue.

Paint me a portrait of love
The picture of two young birds
Warm company of two hearts in sync
A rich soup of black royals from distinct histories
Reflecting the serenading rays of the African sunset.

Paint me a portrait of love
Beveled,
Though in the tranquil sadness of their economy,
Soaring high up with the eagles
Wade unfazed against mountain-high litanies.

Paint me a portrait of love
An ageless ore,
Rooted in a stimulating medium of trust
Firmly neglecting every wanton thrust
And bowing torrents of communal knocks.

Paint me a portrait of love
An insane conviction made for two
Gallant spirits fighting for garlands
Forged out of pure heaven
Wrapped in enduring baubles.
