Finally the month of love is here and Valentine’s day is just days away. Let’s start it off with this special POEM from Mugisha Praise, a Ugandan poet and free lance writer.
When I met love is special poem about how we fall in love with people and different beautiful things. And the rareness of things that attract us to them. Do you remember when you fell in love, how it felt and what you saw? Love is a beautiful thing, I hope you enjoy this piece.
WHEN I MET LOVE
When I met love
She was a woman
A beautiful black flower
That had lost its petals
But in some way, it had survived
Through pain and loss,
That’s when I knew
I couldn’t let her go!
When I met love
He was a man
His fore head layered with history’s lines
And his eyes colored with grit
As black as the night
It seemed to sip from his skin
That’s when my heart was split
I just wanted a kiss
When I met love
It was a pet
On a cold, misty evening
It looked at me with intent
The kind of stare that says
If you don’t help me, no one will.
It was going to be a cold long night.
We both knew we needed a cuddle
