My Poetry Diary

She smiles with perfection, like the star; Of happy bright lights adorning the sky, A reflection of all beauties both near and far; So adorable her looks, wantonly high; Her smile I match not, mine a musky tar, Only goddesses have those, a beauteous eyes.  And on the cheek, and o’er that lips, A joyous stream flows, radiating like the sun. So serene so pure, captivating to a grip; So divine, so bright, charming to a stun, The smile softly beckons and all hearts skipped, Deeper in love, what a smile has done. On her face erupts with the brightest smile, Like the daffodils blossom in spring time, A reminder of the solemn moment on the aisle, Creates in me a symphony and a rhyme, Shrinking Lagos traffic to less a mile, Howbeit it took me such a while, Gafar Odubote, “She Smiles with Perfection”, copyright 2019

Agbeke when I met you  I felt something new,  The love is so true  Like a fresh morning dew;  When I asked you out  You asked me why you,  Words ceased from my mouth,  Ladies of your likes are quite few;  You are the smiling one  Peaceful and beautiful  You are the charming one  So pretty and wonderful  We spent times together  We play, pray and all the likes,  You promised 2stay forever  Even tho we argued and the likes  I love my smiling one  You are lovely and sweet  With such a beautiful soul  You are amazing and cute  Poem: “My Smiling One” by Olorunleke Odubote
