In the soft whisper of dawn’s first light,
I see your silhouette, a graceful sight.
A young African queen, in purest white attire,
With dreadlocks flowing, you ignite my fire.

When I look into your eyes, deep pools of mystery,
I find a world uncharted, brimming with history.
Eyes that twinkle like stars in the night’s embrace,
Holding galaxies within, a cosmic interlace.

Your gaze, a beacon in my storm-tossed life,
Cuts through my turmoil, ending strife.
Eyes that dance with joy, laugh with ease,
In their reflection, my soul finds peace.

Your dreadlocks, a crown, so freely they cascade,
Each strand, a story, in beauty arrayed.
Like roots of the ancient Baobab, they stand,
Grounding me, when I hold your hand.

When I look into your eyes, I see dreams anew,
Visions of a future where I’m entwined with you.
A journey together, through thick and thin,
Our spirits connected, a flame within.

Your beauty, in simplicity, an artless charm,
In your embrace, I find solace, a soothing balm.
A young African woman, in a white shirt dressed,
With you by my side, I am truly blessed.

When I look into your eyes, love’s tale unfolds,
A bond as pure as the white of your clothes.
With every glance, my affection deeply grows,
In your eyes, the doorway to your soul brightly glows.

So here I stand, before you, my heart in hand,
Asking you to share life’s journey, as we had planned.
Through your eyes, I’ve seen love’s true guise,
Forever mesmerizing, when I look into your eyes.
