Zvimba Lilly – Poetry

Zvimba is known for beautiful lilies,
but you are the fairest of them all.
Your oval face glitters like a diamond,
Carefully cut by a master craftsman.
Your milk skin, like an Arabian curtain,
is the envy of the maidens of Bulawayo.

The teeth behind your smile are perfect,
and white like crystal seashells.
Your eyes shimmer like stars, waltzing over the horizon.
You enchant me;
I am a Troubadour to you, my Lady.

Gentleness is the seal of your beauty;
Meekness, the strength of your character,
and kindness, the garment that endears you to all.

Many are the fowls of the air,
but the peacock excels in beauty.
Many are the daughters of Eve,
but you are the fairest of them all.
