A Letter To Elangata

Elangata,
My one and only dream,
My Maasai babe that melts me,
The one that keeps me writing,
For you,I will go extremes,
To have you by me
And keep you for ever.

Elangata,
My heart beats faster in a haste
And my mind is lost in deep thoughts;
How do we come to be this way?
Why do we still seem to be far away?
Where are the stars that show true love? 
Where are the birds that sing love songs?

Elangata,
Has anyone ever told you of your beauty?
Has anyone ever mistakened you for an angel?
Has anyone ever mentioned of your walking steps ?
Or has anyone ever wondered of your creation material?
Allow me brief your pulchritude,
Hope this will get you in your best mood.

Elangata,
You're a definition of an Afican princess,
Your cute eyes are so captivating,
Your body shape of an Entagoroi leaves me drooling,
The pretty necklaces on your neck makes you Ensiankiki,
The bewildering smile on your lips makes you a lunacy allergen,
Beauty and you are an inseparable duo.

Elangata,
Am ready to have you near me,
Even if it means excess dowry,
I will do that for your sake,
Come tell me you feel the same,
And as they always say,
Ours will be an history too.

Elongata,
Everybody has a secret
And I have one too
I feel more than love for you
My thoughts are meant for you
But let me stop here please
Before tears fill my cheeks.
