Jennifer

She came all of a sudden, at a time he was thinking
No one could ever ignite a strong feeling
In his soul. But she barged into his life, stealing
His heart and mind. Unbelievable, really.
Though after Kemale he made a decision
To follow his new philosophy and vision,
Not to fall for anyone easily and mindlessly
And to get busy with studies at a US university
Where he was admitted. So, he worked tirelessly,
Studying journalism, Western literature and languages.
Getting good grades. He made new friends like Richmond,
A tall, strange fellow who was full of stories.
So, it was a new life full of colors and without worries,
And Elton thought he would never be cast again
Into that world of emotion evoked by awesome love,
Which can make you feel great but also bring pain.
A tall, slender body, long hair and ice-cold grey eyes
And tender voice ignited a feeling so precious and nice,
So, after many years of oblivion, indifference and frustration
He was thrown into a magic world of enamored jubilation.
It’s a new miracle called Jennifer. And it was a new stage
In his everyday reality. He decided to turn the page
In the story of his life. His tedious world was brightened
He was hovering on the wings of feelings and excitement.
