Your Respect First

By Professor Michael Itungwa Shukrani
_______

The bell of our journey rang
At a moment that I did not expect
And while I smelt the scent of your respect
In all my soul my love for you loudly sang

Beauteous or not, I do not give a damn
But your respect attracts me first
May you be too wealthy or poor at the worst
I view your respect as my prime jam

By the dint of your respect, you allure me exceedingly
To the extent that I hand you countless pulchritudinous gifts
That we can savour plump euphorias unceasingly

May the wind blow at thumping speed
Or whether winter roars with horrific chill
I love you for you respect me with no weed
