LOVE FEVER

Tosin Abegunde
Nov 05, 2026 · 1 min read

We have the same mindset, Pregnant with same concept, Engraved with same emotion, But no one to define the notion. Wonder not how I knew, Even though I am very new: It is written in your face And concrete written on your lace. Your physique I so admire, But your heart I desire, Just like a deal-bond with profit, Backed up by a great prophet. Many a time I wonder, Looking the world yonder, Seeking if your replica exists, But alas, it ceases. No one I more love, For you are my little dove. So, I lay my love on you, 'Cos you make me feel brand new. Oh dear special divine creature, Set as a pride for works of nature: Do not deny me that sweet plant That grows right in your heart. Note that you are the queen In whom I have a delight so keen, That even world power can't bank. That, in you, have I cause to thank. My partner divine, My twin without cords that twine, Yet knotted for a special mission With intention to nurture a vision. Now that I have spoken, Spare me the privilege of the token, So as to have you till eternal, Just like the tale of Rebecca. Please do not refute this hope, For I'll surely run out of scope. For without you I am fully empty; When you yes it, I love the city.
