To My Beloved: A Poem by Oluwaseun Osanyinro

Love, they say has no senses The feeling they say makes one feel weightless Yet, when I met you, it was as if I had run 10 races Each look, easy and stressless I believe I won a medal with you Cause you brought out the side of me That made me believe I could achieve anything with you Than I ever did with a thousand over-serious me The first change I noticed was my smile I could light the moon, I was once told Then you came into my life in a grand style And suddenly began lighting many suns that were snuffed out cold I had giggles that made one giggle I had a laughter that rumbles the stomach Which you doubled in ripples Causing me to bless my stars for my luck I could tell the world of your eyes The way you stared at me, melting my heart I could tell the world about your drive Of course, they should know my love is smart I could compare you to the fountain Flowing your love endlessly into my soul I could compare you to 7 mountains For you stand tall after every wave or toil There are several men wise They are several men fair Yet you surpass them all with prize And you race above them in the air Who would have thought I would find a mate in you? Who would have thought we would be? For I had given up on love till I met you And I had accepted fate to be I love you now and tomorrow I love you If the love ends, I’ll borrow Cause I want none else but you I am assured you love me now and tomorrow I am assured you love me And if it dwindles, will you borrow? Will you want another or me? So, I stand and pray for a future most perfect A future with you and me With children and a garden well kept And a picture of we I pray for little young ones that look like you’ And few princesses with my eyes and smile So that we see a picture of the new A generation of our love merged with smiles There would be storms ahead but we are ready I choose to stand beside you all the way Storms may be few or many But our love will overcome them, we pray Others may scorn us Some may stay While they are it, we would climb a bus And show the world perfect love all the way I love you forever I know you love me the same And ever and ever We are ready to share a name While the future may seem a little scary I am not afraid With you by my side I cannot be weary Cause you would always come to my aid I dedicate this to you my Prince My knight in shining armour For you slew the dragon that held me since And became my love, my charmer Let’s fly away Let’s soar For the future holds a great day And tomorrow, I am certain we would adore
