My Dearest Sunflower Poem by Raimi Babatunde

My dearest Sunflower
Life without you is a mirage
It's like a song without rythym
A troop without a cohesion
A Doctor without a stethoscope
You complete my being
Without whom I'm worthless

Your smile illuminates my moon
Your memories makes me enraptured
I thought they were alluring
Until I met you
A goddess in your own right
Heaven must be missing an Angel

Sometimes I get so lost
Until i found you
Then it all began to make sense
I am not asking you to be perfect
But just and fair
Every other thing will fall in line

My dearest Sunflower
There is no Kingdom without a Queen
No pride without a Lioness
In you I found faith and loyalty
Let's walk the walk
And paint the world with love

Severally I have fallen
But I got out all the time
When you came by
Into your enchantment
I fell before I fell
And this, the last fall

You are the reason I was created
So, when I first saw you
With a smile so bright
I knew I found Helia, my Anthus
If ever I enter Jerusalem again
It will be with you and you forever

My spirit is alive
I feel like telling it to the world
I found my missing piece
For the want of a treasure
I overcame pressure
Then I found my Sunflower

Come onboard my love
Let us row to the other side
There will be bumpy rides ahead
We might be tempted to bail
But great Sailors are made by rough seas
Be still, I'll always be there

Let us rewrite the books
Dance in the rain
Travel around the world
Let's refire the fire of love
Our happiness begins now
For we alone own our stories

I don't dwell on my past
It's a complete waste of time
Although it prepared me for you
The most beautiful I guess
Are the times we shared together
And this is why I want forever
Forever with you my Choosen One

Under the stars we'll kiss and cuddle
From this day forth
I look forward to forever with you
To my most adorable clown
Thank you for being a rarity
Thank you!

A flower blossoms in its time
This is our chance to flourish
Like the cedar in Lebanon
It's time my precious Sunflower
Let's consumate our love
And seal it with everlasting oath
