Hi guys! it’s a brand new day here in blogsville!

You can probably tell from the silhouette above what todays poem is going to be about. One out of many I may have used to serenade my significant other.

It’s my 2nd year wedding anniversary today and I couldn’t think of a better day to put this up.  I absolutely love writing about love… It’s one of the few times my words flow like ink inside a pen.

I love you

Actually I don’t …

I’m in love with you

That’s different

I breathe you

I crave you

I want you every minute

Your touch

Your breath

Your soul

Your very existence

The happiness you bring

The pain we share

You are my “olójó“

The one who owns my day

It is because of you

I was named “Moróunmúbò“

Because I really have found something

Not only have I found something

but “Motúnrountodun“

Yes, my sweetness

Adé tó sí ònà fún mi

Gradually, I am finding my way

Finding my place

I love you

You’re my destiny

As I yours

Every moment in our lives

This it has led to

My own

My one

My only

My all

Writing this made me so happy…. I hope you were able to empathise with me on this one.

And to my amazing husband and father of our incredible child, I pray we spend many more happy years today. I’ll be waiting for you by the door with a thousand love-filled kisses lol
