Poem: My Beauty Queen
I don’t know what may happen if you entered for a beauty pageant
Gladly, it doesn’t matter here
[Placing my right hand across my chest and over my heart]
Here there’s only one crown, one judge and one contestant,
There’s no second possible outcome.
You are my uncontested beauty queen.
Models stretched out on beach sand, clad in bikinis -
That may fit the cold covers of glossy magazines;
A pointed nose, full lips and long shapy legs
Can make a fine photograph, yes;
But what makes a real woman is on the inside!
From the angle you sit in every conversation
And the fresh perspective you bring to our arguments;
To your warm demeanor and gentleness;
Oh! and the pure joy of your attendant naughtiness;
Your solid character and the cool charisma;
Wisdom crowns that li’l head of yours,
And the soles of your feet bear compassion.
From crown to sole my dear
You are just beautiful!
When I look through the tenderness of your eye
I enter a world where my many fantasies lie
So don’t be careful when you smile
I don’t mind my heart racing a mile.
Your beauty sinks beyond the eyes of this beholder
To touch the bottom of his soul;
That’s why in my heart, I reserved a little throne
So you can be my beauty queen.

@Yemi, I’m glad you love it. Thanks for stopping by.
I have a written similar poem but its for men:
The man that carefully choose for my future
The man I believe, I was made from
The man who willingly and happily gave his bone for my life
The man who happily gave me what is called hope
The man in whom I can trust and lay my life
The man who make my days memorable with lots of gist and fun
The man who cares and gently pet me to bed while am weak
The bone of my bone,Flesh of my flesh, spirit of mine
Happily and gloriously will I keep you in my heart and save you in my mind for your love is more than the water which flows in an ocean. Your love makes me blind towards every unfaithfulness and unrighteousness, it gently directs me in the right path of righteousness and godliness.
Make my confidence in future so bright and creates many set up of moving. So in this case, I say thank you for curing my sickness with love, clearing my boringness with companion, making my problem a light issue, making me to smile brightly while lonely.

I’m glad to have the lovely Foluso George here and glad you love the poem too.
You already know, I am a big fan.
Here you’ve capture the essence of a woman who loves. I especially like:
“From the angle you sit in every conversation
And the fresh perspective you bring to our arguments;
To your warm demeanor and gentleness;
Oh! and the pure joy of your attendant naughtiness;”
It’s about her mind, heart and body all locked into your beauty queen. Absolutely lovely.
@Kiru: Well said Ma’am, and I’m really gladdened by your loving this.
