Dear Graciano Enwerem Poem by John Chizoba Vincent

Dear incredible Graciano Enwerem,
The man of great inspiration and vision,
Let me sit with you on your table of knowledge,
My sagging pen needs re-direction and only
a sage like you can direct him to the right path.
Let me dine with you on the table of men,
Your bowl of water could change my muse.
Your glass of wine could make me wiser.
I wait to be your belt in the art of poetry,
I want to be your mustache to acquire more,
I want to change the course through your eyes;
make words a substitute for laughter.
A pen stroll with you could be my shortcut
to greatness, my incredible Graciano.
Let me set the camera,
We could be the characters;
you the mentor, and I, the protégée,
like Jazzy and Korede Bello,
let me set the stage and watch
as you perform.
If only I could touch the helm of your garment,
I will be pleased in the journey so far,
If only I could visit your library of knowledge,
I will be King I in my kingdom.
Leave flattering to the little fools!
I flatter not your eyes nor mouth to laugh,
The words I speak are from my heart.
Leave me not blank on the
ocean of confusion, Incredible Graciano;
for your ink of wisdom, I admire a lot.
