Like a full moon on an autumn night, you emerged amidst star lights
With each graceful step, you illuminated all that crossed your foot path
Wearing a smile so surreal, I almost took you for a fairy
For the aura and charm that comes with you, I can’t compare with any
The scent of blossoming flowers and your ethereal fragrance are two of a kind
Powerfully alluring enough to enchant any sane mortal out of his mind
If the entire world was within my beck and power
I will give it all to you, my beautiful fragrant flower
*********************
Just like yesterday when I first set sight on you Aduke, my heart flew high
Like I was on eagle’s wing, soaring through a cloudless sky
In that instant, I knew you got me spell bound
My heart screaming for you, I can hear it clear and loud
It is that charm in your eyes, and the infectious smile on your face
That makes time slip by and assured me i’m in a better place
If love truly exists and it goes beyond time and boarder
I will love you till the end Aduke, my beautiful fragrant flower
*********************
Just before I met you, I felt I could not love anyone
That nobody would be able to fill the void in my heart anymore
Then u walked in, breached the wall with your shinning light
Before I could see through the light, you have captured my heart
At first, the fear of rejection held me back, but it couldn’t have held me for much longer
Because with every hesitant pause I took, my heart only grew fonder
Even when the going gets tough and the road get rougher
I will never give up on you Aduke, my beautiful fragrant flower
