The Man In My Youth Poem by Queen Ukpe

I found my other half the day I met you
You made me complete
You brought out the best in me
Even in your distress, you chose to fall in love with my stress
You waited for years; a trait that is rare to bear
You manage to cope without losing hope
Oh, dear! You never gave up
And this is what thrilled me the most
I was the Zephyr in your empire; the gentle fire you desire
Shouldn't I give you all that is required?
Though, I was a little late to be your first date, now I want all of my last days to be with you
With you, I feel safe within every storm
I shall walk through valleys and conquer all without fears, knowing that you are by my side to guide me
Permit me to call you- the warrior that saves me from terror, the one that owns and defends my protectorate
Shouldn't I decorate you with all these praises?
Your kind is incomparable, irreplaceable and irreplicable
Your love is intoxicating; Why should I need an oxygen?
You chose me as your Queen, while you were yet to be called my King
You never cared of how I treated you
When you were sick of me, I never created an antidote
Rather, I caused you lots of trauma while you were acting the drama
That was how obsessed you were with me
Never for once have you made me feel void, rather you gave me a voice beyond all noise
Shouldn't I gaze into those eyes I can't avoid?
For those brown eyes of yours is my greatest attraction of distraction
A stare from them calms my entire soul
They are the spell that enchants my broken soul
Shouldn't I stay with your dazzling soul?
The fragrance from your skin smells sweet as the fume from a rose🌹, it keeps me fresh for the morning dose
It will always be the solace I mount to have peace; a peace with ease, a peace worth dying for
An unspeakable peace beyond description
Shouldn't it be a doctor's prescription?
Someday, we may fight and cry, but my love for you will never die
You will always be my inevitable muse
The one that understands my cry and waited for it to dry, the one that swept me off my feet and made me a new breed
You are the flower that trails and lightens my heart
The music that ding dongs in my head
Oh, let me ring you a song that you've not heard
That we may sing together till death do us PART!
