Tell Her I Love Her Poem by Raimi Babatunde

How did I get here?
I fell in love with a stranger
All because I wanted to change oil
And asked she showed her particulars
Just as Samson to Delilah

I just love your smile;
Your dimple and carriage
Imbued with high cerebral qualities
I just could not resist
I thought I signed it
The oath of celibacy
Why me, why now?

She became too friendly
She broke my defences
The walls came crashing
Like the walls of Jericho
Maybe I liked the attention
But now, the veil is lifted

We both shared our problems
We made eye contacts
At first it was normal
Until it became very abnormal
And lead to the "Holy Land"

I said silly things
You look sexy, smell nice
A goddess by all standards
Your perfume made mine seem "tokunbo"
You should be Miss World
This, the beginning of my woes

Now that I am here
I need complete brain reset
For I am loosing my mind
Now in tune with reality
Oh! I need help
Someone please call Dr. Love

If you see my Darling
Tell her I love her
More than she'll ever know
As the saying goes
What will be will be
For you are my world!
