QUEEN ASIA

Enotse owosi,

You're as beautiful

As the rising sun

In the morning

Good without pretense

Like the retreating sun

In the evening,

As worthy as an angel

That stirs no strife.

So pure, you have a golden heart

And a diamond hand

You cannot have a feet of clay.

Which man will not gladly

Build his dungeon

With your love

That allows him

The latitude of a crow

Flying over the northern sky,

Which man will not feel

Like a sweepstakes winner

To have you in the nest of his heart?

Queen Asia,

Your cup full of virtue and grace

Cannot be hindered by any barrier,

In your courteous act of genius

I find the definition of a companion.

You loved like Juliet,

Soared like an Eagle, 

Gentle like a Dove,

In this game of feelings

You thrust your heart,

Yet be willing to thrust still more,

For the Prince of Agila

Will be your strong newel

When every other quit,

And carry you, when your feet

can no longer hold

Okibe, Samson Onmeje

FOOT NOTE

This poem was written in Abuja for Asia my friend fiancée (then). They did not marry after all. This poem was inspired by my sympathy for Asia who came weeping that her mother in-law to be was not receptive in their first meeting and so there is no hope for the union.

The poem was to encourage her and make her realize that the sole decision lies with her man and her character has earned my vote if i have a say.
