Nkechi The Belle Poem by Uche Nwanze

On a hot sunny Sunday in the hot eastern skies stood this celestial being
Like the daughter of the gods she stood with majestic gait
Definitely not from here
Her eyes alluring like stars in the galaxies
Her beauty can bring giants on their knees
As she stood there gazing the ageless Sun, her smile radiated like queen Sheba of old of which King Solomon stood in awe
I said to myself I thought they said the beautiful ones are not yet born
From whence has this daughter of Venus come from
Oblivious of time
Her enchanting smile, speechless I stood
Her skin shone like the African Diamond, breathless my heart whispered
If I could hear the serenade of her sweet voice
From the Savannah to the Mangrove,
From the Creeks to the Hinterland
From the land across the oceans and seas
I haven't seen a creature so delicate
Wait until you see this Belle
The Sun has gone to bed
Until the morrow comes
And the Sun wakes up
When I will see my beautiful Nkechi again
