December 18, 2019, marked a special day for Jacque Maribe as she celebrated her birthday, and Digital Director Dennis Itumbi chose to make it even more memorable by writing her a heartfelt poem.
Itumbi, known for his creative side, took to his Facebook account to share his piece of art, describing Maribe as a 'fire of super-hot flames' and a 'fire of beauty and sexy'. The poem is a testament to their close friendship, which has often been subject to speculation about a possible romantic relationship.
However, both Itumbi and Maribe have consistently maintained that their bond is purely platonic, with Itumbi even going as far as to say that their friendship is 'our souls on Fire'. The poem is a beautiful expression of their connection, with Itumbi wishing Maribe 'endless Birthday kisses and triumphs'.
Here's an excerpt from the poem:
You are a FIRE. A Fire in your stage presence, A Fire that has super hot flames, Flames that keep them talking, You are a Fire of beauty and sexy. A Fire that sparks and sustains friendships, A Fire, I gladly embrace and use to ink this poem, A Fire that is so lovely to resist, You are a Fire on top of a mountain, Living life, courageously, powerfully and unapologetically A Fire that refines your ore into Gold. A Golden friend. A Golden mum A Golden trailblazer So here an online hug, tight, endless and Forever. Our Friendship, is our souls on Fire. Burning the past into ashes, connecting us, Soldering to the future, with the force of water down a waterfall… Friends, planted right at the bull’s eye of our hearts, is what we are… May you get endless Birthday kisses and triumphs… You are a lovely FIRE.. I wish you Endless victory, may you warm our hearts. Happy Birthday!
