Poem card for Love by Olorato Connie Morebodi: a red cupid with a bow on cream, framed by the letters L, O, V, E

Poem by Olorato Connie Morebodi

I thought, hesitated and went for it
I drowned deep for it
Made waves in settled lands
Love..yes its love
They fell in for me

Made them crazy and noisy
Happy and sad at a time
Cheerish me and also fight me
Yes im love

Love , love, love
I was found in unpredictable areas
I can hide , i can be on the surface
It depends on how you look out for me

Sometimes am a suprise….
Suprise!!HOW..
You wake up and see yourself in love
Sometimes i mislead you
Yes you!!i am a derailer

I am love
When i die water y drop
Drip off ur eyes
Why!!You never knew me nor saw me
Why cry!!!im always there
I never end!!!
I have no ending but i fade

Yes thats me
LOVE

What is love?

I wish I can tell, but you are asking the wrong person,I have been in love, yet I can’t clarify it…I know it sounds strange, but this is my truth…

A woman and a man with eyes closed, foreheads touching, lit by a sliver of warm light against darkness

Loving you ended me

I bought you flowers, and you sent them backGot you a necklace and said it doesn’t look good on your neckI bought you an impeccable dinner dress and you told me you hate the color blackTell me, how…
