Overwhelmed

Overwhelmed by your beauty

Overwhelmed by your smile

Overwhelmed by your style

Overwhelmed by your generosity

Woman, I am overwhelmed by your presence

Specifically by the sweetness of your fragrance

Your face unlocked the door of my heart gently

Like a safe-box of glee and happiness, on sight

Where my whole body trembled like a palm tree

That got fanned by a gust of wind

That’s right

Thank God, I had both feet firm on the land.

I am running out of words to describe you

You are indeed simple and stylish

I dream seeing you at the beach

Where I don’t know what to do

Where I don’t know what to say

Nothing to do

Nothing to say

Because I am overwhelmed, I am in awe

Should I genuflect or should I bow

In front of this beauty of light

Where I simply want to be right?
