Sojourned to ask,
how do I love thee?
For thy love is an
unstoppable mirage,
yearned to count ways,
loving thee to the depth,
the depth of river
Niger and river Benue,
to the breadth,the
unending parallel lines
of the road and its miraged
view afar,to the height,
the unending motion of the cloud
Beloved, my soul yearned,
could reach when feeling
out of sight, for the end
so being an ideal grace.
