I Love You On Purpose

Amid the maze of your glaring imperfections,I chose to straggle, to trace the serrated edges with purpose.For in the crevices, I saw the light filter through,a collage of blemishes I adored.I loved you on purpose, not by happenstance,but with a will as intentional as the ebb and flow.I chose it, brandished it like fire.Chasing shadows in your changeability,I gave a love that did not falter.Even…

Blue Crest

Beneath the endless azure dome,where whispers glide like feathers,I wrote this for you.A quiet offering in ink and longing,a tapestry of dreams. I wrote this for us.A fragile weaving of threads,Strung together by the pulse of something unnamed,through time’s vast sea, our spirits crest,bending yet unbroken. I wrote this for me, a humble plea,a mirror, a reckoning to the soul.In every stroke, a…

Love Lives Here

Hatred knocked at my doorafter the storm,its cold fingers touching the warmth I still had.A bad breakup, a fissure in the world,and it whispered,“Let me in.”But I peered deep insideand only those glowing coals of what had been,the tender moon of love still twinkling,refusing to be smothered.Only love lives here.Bitters followed,its roots digging into the foundation of my chest,a sour, bitter…

I Found Love In Unlikely Places

I found love in shadows’ hush,Where quietude murmur, soft and lush.In the corner of a crowded room,Where strangers’ gazes seldom meet.Concealed beneath a weathered tree,Its limbs bowing just for me.In the fracture of a well worn smile,Love persisted there, though lost a while.I found love in the rain’s embrace,Its cold touch ennobling my weary face.In the thrum of a train at first light,Where…

Lessons From My Mum's Surgery

1. People need hope It sounds simple but people truly need hope. In the ward that she was in, there were people with various ailments. Two women had their legs amputated. Another woman had a breast removed. It was clear that all these people needed hope. I always read my mum’s daily reports the nurses made. One thing that cut across was this very statement “Patient is fairly ill. Patient was…

LOVE RUINED ME

Before I knew it, I’d fallen for you. It was beyond my control. Try as I may, my heart has been wrested from me. I find myself sinking deeper into you every encounter. Too early and too fast. You are what I’ve been looking for. My mind tells to put the brakes on. But does my heart know how to work brakes? Zero to a hundred in less than a second.I love hard. I love harder. I love hardest. The…

A Song Like Solomon's

Your hair, smoother than silk is worthy of kings Like the eyes of the gazelle, your lustrous eyes are to me. With bright, light and deep brown eyes, you keep me enthralled. Your smile melts the ice on Everest and fills my heart with sugary warmth. Your teeth are like carefully manicured ivory by a sculptor. Your breath is as a breeze in the spring. Your lips are sweeter than wine served in the…

The Other Night

The first time I said “I love you,” you paused. I could tell a million things were running through your mind. A full three seconds of eternity later you said “OK.” That answer was a relief. The pause was within expectations. Your quick recovery was amazing. I don’t know what went through your mind afterward, but I knew you weren’t expecting those words.On my end, my heart felt lighter. Mission…

EPIPHANY

“Let your love be like the misty rains, coming softly, but flooding the river.”Tonight, I understand the first part of this Malagasy proverb. The misty rains fall. Ever softly.In fine droplets.Coating the leaves and concrete, my hair and face.With soothing coolness. If it is sustained through the night,then perhaps, I just might see how the river floods. 23.06.2023@9:38 pm thelovepoet Image…

MID YEAR RAIN

Morning did not predict rain.How did you come?You caught us off guard.From the east and north you rolled in. Slow and steady you spread across the skies.You fell with passionLike she did eons ago when my heart was still young.Memories long forgotten from the ageless past. The street hawker and the petty trader,the banker and the CEO,the housewife and the working wife,the loved and the…
