SOPHOCLES

Always running through my mind No wonder you're always tired It never seems to get old Your hearty laugh Displaying the most perfect row Of glistening white teeth Or your sincere smile When I read my poems out loud With my frog voice But still you pretend It's the most beautiful voice On planet earth.

Dimpled smile of a hundred megawatt Electrocuted on the spot Preternatural energy coursing through me Who is this ebony beauty? Tall, dark and beautiful Moving like a fine maiden that she is Bringing out the gentleman in me "Fair maiden, What are you called by?" I asked I go by many names As befit a Yorùbá princess such as I Mojọla says I'm covered. Mojọlaoluwa says I'm covered by the glory, blessing, favor, glory and the love of God Almighty.
