Dedicated to Maryam Yaseerat Sulaiman I dived into the sea of metaphors with your love serving as my life Jacket as I dive deeper into the depeest part of the sea of allegories. I whispered your name to the Mermaids of oxymoron and the strongest Witches of personification as they duff thier hats and saluted with assonance. I walked to the Queen of Onomatopoeia beneath the sea and ejected her from the throne of irony she was seated on to inscribe your name with hyperbole of ectasies. I decorated your kingdom with stunning-hyperbole of ectasies, perfumed her with oxymoron of perfumes and painted her avidly-with the synecdoche of the most beautiful colours. ©Aboo Salmarh.
