LOVE POEMS By Charles Mwewa ___________________________________________
1| My Love, I
My love warms me when I am cold,
She means to me more than pure gold
She knows the secrets of my soul
And with her I can’t long for more
She will delight and fullfil me
My love is but the good I see
He is the soul within my soul;
In his arms I gladly give all
Be closer than breath, all my days
Be a friend I trust, in all ways
Put your arms around me, all night
And guard my nude heart, from all sight
Come to me, I die without you
Each day I wait for your true feel
Take out from my eyes all my tears
And rid my heart of pain and fears _____________________________________
2| My Love, II
My love hides me from the sun’s heat
In her kind voice mind and soul beat
She thrills like the sun in the sky
And stills like moonlight lullaby
I feel bounds of raging tenses
And miss my love with five senses.
My soul does languish with plight,
Yet our hearts flourish with delight
In the depth of quiet reflections,
Rhythms of my roused recollections
Rhyme to the sound of his name
For to love and rescue me he came
In your soul my whole being belongs
My drained heart for you alone longs
Come to me, my love, come to me!
All you want, to you I will be. ___________________________________
3| Fondest Memories, I
It was cool, calm, cold and clean
Down Keele to buy ice-cream
Hand in hand, we walked
With rare sacredness, we talked.
Love is a living thing, they say
Which no words can say,
No mind can understand,
And no soul can comprehend.
I love you, and I cannot explain it
Because loving you is pleasurable.
I love you, and I don’t know why,
For loving you is easy, that’s why.
You are everything that I want
More than the oil wells of Mid East;
More than the diamonds of Africa
More than the gold of America! ____________________________________
4| Fondest Memories, II
Since we parted, it has been hard.
And partings cost us everything.
I admit, I am not strong,
And you can not be too wrong
Lonely like an island
Absence breaks our hearts
Could I and you now just agree?
Our love is hurt by some degree?
I will follow you through the rains
Because my heart belongs to you,
Come; let us meet like two ways
And promise never to part ways! __________________________________
5| Fondest Memories, III
My bride, my black lover:
To you this music I bring
From rhythms in my soul
I beat for you in cords of twos
And record for you a melody
Of a revolutionary orchestra
My bride, my youthful hart:
Dearly loved and treasured,
Your temperament is phlegmatic;
Cool, quiet and beautiful!
You are fair, my love, you are fair.
You have no flaw in you.
Your eyes are doves
And your lips drop honey.
For you, my heart beat in harmony.
Oh, catch for me my dear doe;
Let me rejoice all night long
And feel the warmth,
The power of two sweet loves. ___________________________________
6| Fondest Memories, IV
You are the wife of my dreams
A friend closer than a brother
Together we stick like a letter
And follow each other like shadows.
Like a hare trotting on the Drakensburg, you came along
Lovely to behold, soothing to touch
And your eyes met mine, and Our hearts agreed, That we belonged together.
Days go like flakes in the sky
And night comes rushing in
In your heart are red roses
Whence I spread a bed of our deep romance
My wife glitters like the sun;
In her boson reason and emotions harmonize
And bring meaning to a life
on its last legs. ___________________________________________
7| Fondest Memories, V
Your eyes are a thoroughfare
Straight like a pine tree
Your face thoroughly shines as one Who has been to the fellowship of angels
I wonder why all such beauties Aren’t at gun-point robbed!
Why were you made thus bonbon?
Why do I crave for you with psychotic lunacy?
Why does sleep leave me at the thought of you?
Why do I gaze at you like a newly born baby?
Your lips drip of vanilla
Your borders in chocolate drawn –
Your tongue of cinnamon brand,
Your heart, a sanctuary of gods! _____________________________________________________
8| Fondest Memories, VI
Your shape is a dream of knighted lords
Shaped through fragile contours
You are curved as a god in Aphrodisiac casing
With such a small waist on ivory-paired legs
I wonder why such tiny feet support such frail figures!
Your hand tender, soft as sponge
As splendid as taintless gold
The back of your yard
Couth and carefully cultivated
Arranged as twins of the same design. ___________________________________________________
9| Fondest Memories, VII
Thy gyrations doth move mine entrails
Thy neck long, soft and vivid…
Thy embrace in mine arms grips
How comfy and delightful!
Fools doth attest to thy beauty
The strong doth faint in thy presence
The wise in thy breath words deny
Bragging men and loafers thou loath
Thy head with wit brims
Thy mind with brilliance rims
Thy faculties with reason drone
Thy hairs full, long and grown
Thy make-up, costly and lavish
Thy men’s spirits thou break
Thy equals labours thou render null
And thine rivals tenderly cry foul.
