Black, white, yellow or brown.
It actually doesn’t matter.
I’m not a racist
But I love women.
I’m a woke man.
I love my women rare.
The more exotic, the merrier.
Yes! I do love women.
Hey pretty girl!
Can I take you to Ibiza?
You know that’s the birthplace of pizza.
I can’t lie to you.
Round, flat, obese or anorexic.
We don’t discriminate here.
Because the things I’ll do to you,
Knows no race.

I wanted the world to know about you;
To know how special you are.
To understand why you were created.
Beautiful doesn’t begin to describe you.
Companion is an understatement for you.
I wanted to continue,
But I lost my train of thoughts.
I aimed at the sky,
But you left me with the clouds
Floating. Existing in another plane.
You take me away from reality,
Yet the illusion of peace you provide is real.
You bring me tranquility.
Calmness, that no drug can provide.
I think you love me! But do you?

A name that has always been attached to perfection;
A name that has always made me smile;
A name that in itself is beautiful;
Maryam; cool, cool and collected.
Harbinger of smiles, laughter and joy.
If not you, then who?
Our first son could be Isa:
What would that make me?
Certainly the happiest man on earth,
You being by my side breeds confidence.
I want you,
Just you and no other.
Maryam, would you be mine forever?

Dimpled smile of a hundred megawatts
Looking at you makes me fulfilled
Ebony beauty
Thinking of you,
Always moves my heart; affectionately
Makes it skip a beat.
I am in a dilemma
Are you beautiful because I love you?
Or I love you because you’re beautiful?
But one thing is certain though,
You have my love, young woman.
My heart calls for you
My soul yearns for your presence
With you, the sky will always be blue
Massive storms fill the sky in your absence
Around you, I am human:
But just a beast when you depart
Do not stay long ma’am!
Come soon, Queen of my heart.
I want you.
I need you.
You’re the one for me.
Be the queen of my heart
And crown me as your King.

I met a girl,
She wasn’t right for me
And she took what’s left of my humanity.
She was to be my queen,
And support me to build my dynasty.
But still, she left me;
In unfathomable misery.
She left me broken, shattered.
Body strong as ever with anger,
But my heart was slowly dying.
Far away from bliss,
And frolicking in the edges of oblivion I was;
Until I met her,
Another girl.
Now I’m alive. Vibrant.
Until this one, also, pull the plug.

You know, what you and I have,
What we share between us,
What we call a relationship;
Is the weirdest symbiosis I’ve ever seen.
You’re like the yin to my yang.
The Kitara to my Aang.
I’d call you Cleopatra, but you’re way fuller.
Tender, soft and full of warmth.
Wonderfully sculpted body; thick in the right places
Just few adjectives for my dear beloved.
Dear knight,
You have proven to be the most gay and delightful Mister I have ever set my eyes upon, a beautiful writer at that;
Any maiden would be blind to not admire a sport like you;
I am truly flattered by your words and expression of your feelings towards me;
Yet, I do not understand this great love you have for me; but I do appreciate your non-relenting persistence;
Unfortunately, I could never be the woman you desire, I could never give you babies to fill your home with laughter, I could never be the picture perfect bride you sought out for! I am the most imperfect being for you!
I know your heart was made for another, I know you deserve a damsel, a queen, the rarest of gems, the queen of all queens; rather than a simple town girl like me.
I do hope thou finds true love and believes in this thing called ‘Marriage’ again
The maiden
I saw you for who you were;
Friendly, vulnerable but strong.
And for once, I never took advantage of your weakness.
And also, guarded your vulnerability in your absence.
Our friendship exceeds bests of friends.
And our relationship transcends societal norms.
What you and I posses is unique.
Even though I am doubting marriage.
Never for once, so I doubt my feelings for thee.
I can write about you for ages
And never will the lines grow old.
Lock up my body and heart in cages.
But never will my love for you grow mold.
Hey Dear! Would you give me babies?
So together forever, we grow!

There’s a fulfillment when a task is completed,
But this task,
Is far from completed, my beloved!
I had a dream,
That you and I, together, as one.
Would be totally unstoppable!
Seven lines for day seven. (Exit Sophocles)

For six months,
Six weeks,
Six days and six hours,
I’ve been patiently waiting for a verdict.
An answer to a question.
A reply to a proposal.
And for another six months I’ll wait.
Patiently.
Hoping, praying and above all, knowing;
That later or sooner,
The future will come,
And by my side, you will be.
Together forever is underrated.
But still, I want us forever together!
