Analysis of I love you

Kwasu 1996 (Kaduna)



"I love you"
And you know this sentence goes deeper than the ocean,
Every other woman I meet is but a passing dream in the night,
But you my dear Ambience,
You are that illusion I fostered,
That dream I hold dearest,
That visage my soul find it please.
 I hear the Tigris and Euphrates lay bear on the shores of creation,
I hear their lips bear tales of the wonders of creation,
Yet thou my dearest Ambience,
Thine lips has a sweeter tale of love.
I hear your father is a king.
I hear you are a princess from far far away,
From the land of fairy tales;
That land whose freeways good dreams roam,
I hear you are from that land where happy-ever-after lives.
By chance,
I heard he is a sheriff there
Of a little town,
Tending broken hearts.
Rumor has kind lips today I presume,
Let my soul fly
And to you perch,
And remain all to the fading of time.
Only,
"I love you"
You know this sentence goes deeper than the soul of the ocean.
~Kwasu
