Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!

My second love letter to you


So,
You've been on my mind all day
Touching my mental in every kind of way
I can smell you
……….your fragrance it still lingers in my mind
I feel like I'm seventeen
…………………………..again
And I know this feeling won't end
So I won't pretend
……………………..that I don't like you
In fact
………..I was feeling you the moment our eyes met
My soul wept
………………tears of hope
My mind raced for days
Wondering how to make you notice me
I searched and asked the heavens
…..only to look into my own eyes
…and realise that I am a poet
..so I wrote you poetry
My own 'Love Jones' rendition
"Live at The Dan'
Dropped it
….without you expecting it
I was so scared I must admit
But I had to
…………….I had to let you know that
……………..in your eyes
I saw the possibility
The possibility of taking this somewhere
We both want it to go
I'm sorry if I embarrassed you
……..I just had to let you know


Then reality hits: -
New York in a few days
While my mind is on continuous replay
Replaying that week
……………………….over and over
Reliving it all
Inhaling the taste of the air
On holiday
……………living life without a care
Remembering the innocent embrace
The way you laughed
…………………at my silly antics
Allowing me to flirt with you every now and again
But then again
………………..you must have known what my intentions were
Couldn't you tell?


I'm feeling everything about you
You've made me remember how good love can be
Inspiration for the latest batch of poetry
Yes,
…(sigh)
…………love is a beautiful thing


Where to now?
I don't know
All I know is
……..I'm following my heart
If it inspires me to create art
Then it will enable me to turn this feeling into more than
More than a memory
Turn this feeling into a beautiful reality.
