'Beautiful Essence- Endowed.... Serenade' Poem by Ovi Odiete

if you listen closely, you will hear a lullaby
it's in the reach of your hips
the flash from your teeth
serenade; a storm ah storm
Bringing out the impulse from within

If you listen closely, you will hear a turmoil
it's in the spur of your thoughts
The lilies and lilacs
they tell your story at night
And the Queen of the night translates
it to a poem; an endowed poem

And if you watch closely,
you will hear a lullaby for birthday
and serenade to tell the tales
for lullabies are for birthdays
Serenades are to tell the stories within...
