Analysis of Ijama



Ijama!
Tender is your lips
Fresh and sweet like palm wine
Soft and mild just like honey
Like milk it flows
Like the ocean it waves
You kissed me
And i was speechless
You touched me
And i was lost in thought
My eyes wide open like the owls
And sweetness overflows my Heart
Ijama!
