The Story of Love

THE STORY OF LOVE:  BY LINET KANANA   Some say they walked into love Others say it crept in on them Catching them completely off guard Some believe it fought its way into their hearts What is your story of love?   My friend says she stumbled and fell into it My sister voluntarily jumped into it My brother grew into it While my grandmother? She found herself in it What is your story of love?   Similar strands bind the stories together, …the smile when they narrate their story The dreamy look in their eyes The confidence in their voices that say’’ I have found the real deal’’ This is the love story!   Amazing how the clouds fade and everything looks more beautiful How everything smells much better and even tastes sweeter All over Sudden we notice the colours dancing around us, there is a rainbow in the cloud! We take note of the smiles of kind neighbours, even their annoying dog suddenly looks better We notice the children playing cheerfully on the streets, and their noise sounds beautiful! This is the love story!   The songs sound clearer the loads become lighter The grass seems greener and prettier and we notice the flowers on the paths The raindrops tenderly kiss our skin as listen to the whispers in the wind The head stands higher, the eyes shine brighter, there is Laughter in our voice and smiles linger on Body, soul and spirit, unite in perfect harmony,, when you have a story about love   Whether you fall or grow in love Whether it creeps in you simply find yourself in it Hold on to it, celebrate it and write your story of love!   BY Linet Kanana: The Poet
