THE GIRL I WANT TO MARRY | Lambaba the Poet

You all know when I caught sight of a THICK girl

I am like a monkey

Who after a long string of hunger

Has found a bunch of banana.

The girl I want to marry is a cute-chubby girl

Sometimes I wonder how many days;

It takes God to create a perfect creature like her

She’s God special creation.

You all know I am scared of heights

But when I caught sight of a tree not too tall

I am a monkey upon the iroko tree.

The girl I want to marry is a petite girl

Not too tall and not too short

She alone interest me.

Have you seen beauty before?

As sweet as the burning sun

As bright as the glory of the rainbow.

The girl I want to marry

Is the perfect definition for beauty

Beautiful! Sexy! Gorgeous! Hot!

Have you ever met someone?

Whose smile could make flower grow?

Her smile is the unseen cupid arrow

Making thousands of flowers grow.

When my soul was thirsty for a smile

And my spirit was too heavy to fly

When I was devoid of color and style

She came and lifted my soul with her smile.

Her smile is killer bean—

An emission breathe that

Barbiturates the heart

And revive the weary to life. 

Her smile makes my dream hint the sky

Her smile makes me happy; and brings me joy

I feel endangered and precious by her beautiful smile

Am addicted to it.

Her sparkling eyes

Has sparkled my heart

And it radiates in love

Her eyes are enchanting

If her love is blind, I just don’t want to see.

When people ask about my writings

I tell them she’s the fuel of its fire

She’s the girl I want to marry

For our heart is heavenly connected.
