The African Pearl

 

 

                          My eyes turn to red love balloons,

                          My heart to a network pole,

        To which my breath is WiF-ied to exhale data bundles.

                Just so I could remain connected to her,

                    Or at least her picture on Facebook

 

                          She is the beauty and the beat,

                      The symphony of the African jazz trumpet,

                  The power a sane man distantly finds upon a woman.

            She is the true epitome that god is the bounty of beauty

                          Yes she is indeed a shaker,

                          The woman of influence

 

          Her Facebook profile give me the audacity,

          to beg her not to change it, so I can keep on falling…

   

 

I would be so blessed to fall onto the hand of an angel such as her,

                On those tender slender hands,

With the sweetest of touch like neon flaunt flowers,

                         I would make falling a habit,

         So I constantly fall and fall until, I fall in...The deep

 

                    And I don’t want to talk about her smile.

                   All the mirrors reflect my frowning face,

                                 But her smile,

 I don’t want to talk about the fire blazing from the smile she attire

On those dimpled chicks! I like those dimples,

 

                   They are so refreshing just by the ogle at them,

                          Like the ephemeral African pristine wet lands,

                              That appear only after the rain.. her smile

 

 

          I am sure there was thunder and storms,

                  When she was born!

                   For she was shaking…

                               Sweet Shaker!

Very sweet and I'm glad there is still modern day romance :)

Your metaphors are lovely, like " Like the ephemeral African pristine wet lands,
That appear only after the rain.. her smile"

I hope you both will shake together :)
