THE TREND SHE PORTEND

(For Her)

 

In this school and certainly beyond,

Her enchantment is that of Zebra

Among other animals in the kingdom.

Her beauty, beyond doubt, transcends.

Even to them that tends to pretend,

Her elegance to this end they must commend.

For the trend she portend, no one can contend.

I looked beyond the yonder,

Far above, beneath, and beyond the border.

Searching and seeking for the light

That radiate with so much brightness in this darkened earth.

Am I this sightless? Looking beyond the horizon

When the light I seek is nowhere far-off.

Right in front of me, she sits with the gentleness of a dove.

With the gracefulness of an elephant,

She apprises me of my frivolity.

With the pride of a lion,

I divulge my desire to remain frivolous;

If with seriousness, my serious feelings

I never can seriously express.
Can anyone deride me for being this ‘unseriously’ serious?

NB ‘UNSERIOUSLY’, though not a Standard English was used for rhyming purpose only.
