An Acrostic: Nwosu Nnamdi Ugwumsinachi



Nabbed was my heart
When I beheld the visage
Of the masterpiece of God's art
Spritely and graceful like a mirage
Unabased while among men she herd
Never have my eyes seen
Nor have my ears heard
About such a magnificent being
Made with a golden mold
Dressed in gown of layered folds
Inspiring in my poetic mind
Unending lines of erotic kind
Guarantor of my eternal lines
Wilting away the desolate vines
Unceasingly her company I pines
Memorable were the times
Spent together making rhymes
Idelible is the moments we spent
Notwithstanding the steam we did vent
And the patches we did meet
Cherished are the thoughts of her
Hopefully, her flame will continually burn
In these lines where my passion was born
