Amaka
Amaka,
you would have been a topic for debate in Academy and Lyceum
A subject of intellectual discourse amongst those who sought after the hearts of Aristotle and Plato
An image of beauty that would have stormed the mind of great poets and scribblers of ancient times
Even Narcissus wouldn’t have thought himself handsome if his era was blessed with you
Shakespeare would have written more on love and beauty if only he could have a glance of you
But Nature decided to bless this present era with you; a wonder that holds the hearts of men in awe
This poem is about:
Me
