"SHARING LOVE IN DIRE TIMES" DAY 4

DAY 4


"But I know love like I know the colour of my skin
Love is fair
Love is soft
Love is something unusual
Love can be anything you want it to be
But not a cloth too heavy to wear"

"She started
writing at the age of seven!"



    AFRICAN LOVE

The first time I met love
Love was dark in complexion
It always reminded me of Africa
My root deeply rooted in a falsified smile
Caused by the radiation of the sun
That never seizes to kiss my ebony skin

African love
A playlet written for queens and bees
These bees will rape you
And tell you queens
Just how much love is pain
"endure
So hang in there
No matter how much it hurts"
Your feet will one day bleed to heal
And even when your heart is broken by the wind
Love will definitely find you
And don't ask me when or where
Cos I don't possibly know
But I know love like I know the colour of my skin
Love is fair
Love is soft
Love is something unusual
Love can be anything you want it to be
But not a cloth too heavy to wear

African love
Believe me I've tried
And ever since I've know love
Love has never uttered a word
or whisper softly in my ears
And call me by my names
Nne
To mean mother
Nkem
My own

I want to kiss you from afar
Kiss you near
huge you warm
Forever glued
keep you in my heart long enough for you to see
I will love you soon
When my heart is matured
And my emotions ripe enough to be tasted
I will place my head on your chest
And forget that this world existing
African love
Believe me I've tried
And am still trying.
