Though miles away, I hear the
sound of your heart echoing.

And like an excited horse,
My heart races towards you.

I have traveled North to East,
Again, South to West but…

The attraction on your face,
is all there is to tourism;

From the pyramid of Egypt
that poses on your nose

To the river of Colorado that
marks the curves on your face.

You’re beauty personified.

Speaking failed me, yes.
My speech disowned me, true.

But your love, yes, your love
put words to my pen.

Hagios A. Akins
