Yes, your beauty is incomparable. When someone try to compare other's beauty to yours, the earth will rupture, trees will sway from left to right because trying to compare others to you is tantamount to abomination, oasis will dry up, all xerophytes will wilt and finally, the third form of eclipse which has never occurred before in the history of man will occur.

So no man should dare compare other women to you.

My love, candidly writing, the first day we exchanged pleasantries at the Turkish embassy when I was working as an interpreter when you came for the interview, I surreptitiously and continuously leered at you for over five minutes. When I got to the house, my persistent palpitation ceased and never reoccurred as your stupendous beauty was still lingering in my cerebrum. When my mother asked me what to take for supper, all I could utter was your name. She repeated the same query for an affirmation and I uttered your name again.

She said I was losing my mind and I think she was absolutely right because not only was I disoriented to time and person but also place. I quite remember I wasn't supposed to be in the house at that particular moment but in the hospital because I was on duty that night. My mother later found out that I wasn't supposed to be in the house. She said she asked me why I wasn't at the workplace and I told her I have a symposium to attend in the nation's capital at 10am the next day. I think she heard me in a dream. The next day and to my realization, I found myself in an aeroplane.

I asked my neighbour where is the aircraft en route to and she said Accra. Accra? I queried her. She nodded. What for? I muttered. As to how she heard it, I'm yet to demystify it. Well, perhaps she read my lips or could be a soothsayer. She said my mom booked me because I told her I am attending a symposium. Symposium? I queried her. Don't tell me you don't know where you're heading towards.

She said to me. Oh yes, I am attending an etymologists symposium because we want to consider making the word 'DONDOLOGY' an acceptable English word. I told her. I lied, though. I had to return back to Kumasi with the next flight because I wasn't supposed to be in Accra at that juncture. My love, all these unthinkable ordeals happened because of the genuine love I have for you and I think you will forgive me since you're the universal benchmark of beauty. So it's reasonable to lose my mind just because of you.

The next day I had to unceremoniously take a sick leave because my patients said the usual approachable me who always want to leave an indelible legacy, had vanished. My boss didn't believe what they said until she asked me to bring a suctioning machine when I brought her a nebulizer. She thought I was faking a sick until I injected a patient through the dermis when I was supposed to inject her at the muscle.

What happened next was mortifying and hilarious to say the least all because your irresistible thought had engulfed the entire hemisphere and circumference of my brain depriving me of reasoning. She recommended me to the psychologists. They said I'm mentally sound but was only sapped, disorganized and disoriented. They recommended the institution should grant me two weeks leave.

During the leave period, I tenaciously tried all my possible best to desensitize your thought from my brain because I thought the love I developed for you was out of lasciviousness since it was my first time seeing you but all my efforts proved futile since the affection I developed for you kept on intensifying freakishly. I must admit it was not only an arduous task but also excruciating at the core of the brain trying to learn to unlearn your thought from my brain.

My dearly beloved future wife, you always mesmerize me with your exquisite beauty. In fact, your beauty is second to none.

Your hindbrain is indeed the face of zillion women. When other women see you, they run helter-skelter to redress. You are indeed the universal benchmark of beauty. My mom attests to this assertion.

When men are to be given okra to cut and you called in their midst, they will end up chopping their fingers off all because of your beauty.

Wow, what an extraordinary creature you are.

Everything of yours is astonishingly exceptional. When you laugh in front of me, the kind of emotions that engulf me, mmm philologists need to invent new adjectives to aid me to describe it. My lady, your celestial and heavenly highness, my princess you are beautiful, to say the least.

My heart, my source of happiness, what a stunning creature you are. My happiest moment on earth was when we spent a weekend at the Cape Coast beach. It was an exhilarating moment we had. The love I have for you intensifies anytime you smile which draws out your impeccable dimple in the process. You are indeed the evergreen one, the extraordinary one among the beautiful ones. I will always love you.

You are the only woman on planet earth that every Homo sapien will wish and longs to have as a better-half just because of your sparkling and splendid beauty.

The brightness of your face is as sharp as that of the early morning sunshine which can brighten the entire world in the absence of the sun.

I swear your laughter is the best thing I have ever experienced in this world. It makes me feel as if I'm a king especially when it exhibit your sparkling diastema.

When you laugh in front of me, I feel like having wings to fly to the seventh heaven to express my happiness.

Your behaviour and attitude? Oh! my goodness, if I'm to talk about it, I will utilize the entire papers, the indelible markers, inks and pens on planet earth but will not be able to finish talking about it. So in a nutshell, I say your behaviour and attitude is magnificently awesome as your beauty.

Without any fear of contradiction, you are the only lady with the kind of smooth skin you are having. It soothes my heart and strengthens my brain anytime I hold your hand. No wonder I returned to work before the stipulated time I was given because you visited me and hugged me in the process after my anhedonic sister apprised you about my ordeal.

I think the hugging and utterly uttering you will think about my proposal did the magic. I was not also stupefied when I was unanimously crowned as the best worker in my department by both my clients and fellow workers last year.

My dearly beloved future wife, all the above-aforementioned adjectives eulogizing you are nothing but factual and I'm not trying to flatter you because you are above flattering. As I'm eagerly yearning for you to have your master's in entomology, the same way I can't wait anymore for us to tie the knot.
You are indeed one in zillions. My lady, trek cautiously for you are exceptionally created.
May Odomanko continues to shower HIs optimum blessings and endowments on you. Ameen

Yours sincerely future husband.
