Temi (MINE)- Poem

The world should witness this pact I sign

And trace the design

As I stand before all, triumphant with glory

At last by grit I won the trophy.

The moon smiles down upon my reign

“The conqueror that emerged from the enormous plain”

To bring new dimensions into love’s gimmicks

Organized by cupid through heart- blossoming lyrics

Was it my tender wit or enticing ego?

The will to be a man or her serving hero

That swayed her feelings to echo my name?

Or was it the purity of the flesh in my chest

The audible rhythm of beat at its crest

That makes her feel as much, the same

Or the charming smile on her face

Which makes her look beautiful?

These and more I cannot answer

So I’ll let this phobia free

What matters is that the feeling is mutual

And she is forever…Temi
