"A Lover's Plea"
"Lovers Plea"
Would you let me be your artist?
So I could paint you as God would
I will erase every spot of pain or sorrow
I will draw the spread of the laughter on your face
I will make every curvy spot a sword
And you will slay every eyes
Would you let me be your poet?
I would describe your beauty more than Shakespeare would
I will colour every word about you
With tenderness and affection.
Would you let me be your royal bard?
I would spend decades singing of the beauty of your face
I would spend a century telling of the soothing sunshine in your eyes
I would spend forever on you.
Would you let me be your last lover?
I would smoothen the past rough edges of love
I would make sure it is not a word to you
But a world you will be in, forever.

Thank you so much Shifa. It was actually written to a lady that later said no.
