Topography


O' Kilimanjaro, let me be the climber you'd allow to mount your apex O' Dell, flourishing by the stream, let me eat on your tectonic plates Oh so crystal-clear ice, let me be the warmth that melt your glaciers Your center of attraction greensward, like a pitch in a prairie, Covered by brume, like you're from the Marrakesh Oasis Reuniting confluences down at the meander belt Evolve with me, let's form an alluvium Mouth agape as your mounds rise like Cono de Arita on salty ground Eyes gaze as your feet tethers between air and land Do not dampen me as a Marsh, keep me buttressed so I don't sink under your scratch As I attempt to slip through that basin, still hooked to the panoramic scene Take me with you, as fast as a hurricane would, let's go upstream, As tidal waves swimming along in rapids, speeding through the main Roaring as water breaking on shore, make ways for me on your plains Be the lake that irrigates me, bury me deep in your essence In fact, be for me a lacustrine O let me test thee with both feets And if I drown, before I inhume myself, Exhume me ashore to the Loire valley So I can see how your cliffs soar above me O grand canyon, I'll still love to slide or maybe, glide through your crevices For I can't help but admire the way you're carved diligently Secure me boulders, wrap your arms and legs around me as the steady rock you are I'll love to see the caverns you've engineered deep within So, permit me to peep into those shadowy caves Albeit, it's not just that permission I seek Of course, I'll also love me a sip to taste Your alluring topography is why am showering accolades Galloping through Steedlike but riding steadier than a hard current In all these many varieties, just as different landforms Come daughters of men, assuming features of their #lionessmoms For a son of man to only want one, he must be truly love-struck African beauties with curves circling ground and tits pointing skywards European cuties replete with noses rising like hillocks Asian hippies with mouths like blowholes spitting warmth Having one spec is tantamount to being on an Isle and thinking you've seen all of earth!

I am @1nwao on Instagram, I don't know what else to tell you about myself other than to beseech you to follow me and my stories as I bring you into my world through poesy.
