I Hope For 2nd Chance

Walking down the sea shores 
Gazing at wondrous God’s creation
Amused by the noise made by waves
And enjoying the spit by rolling waves 

I blinked twice for conviction	
I couldn’t believe my eyes
The adage says “looks can be deceiving”
Can the angel be evil?

Your glittering chocolate skin
And dripping diamonds all over your body
Were too bright for my eyes to handle
Your beauty is beyond immaculate

For a moment I went blank and out of words
Silenced by your perfect African beauty
I thought such beauty exist only in fictions 
I wanted to complement but I tripped over my tongue

Like your favorite book index
I hope that my actions will guide you to the pages of my heart
That discusses what is in store for you
Only if we can meet again

All my life I’ve been rehearsing
Penning every word that describe you
Hopping I’ll overcome my stammer
I hope for a second chance with you
