Mpho Leteng Poet I do not know?

If I Knew What Love Is

If I knew what love is, I would hold it close,
a force strong enough to silence my fears.
I would rise with the sun, certain and unshaken,
pressing a kiss to your forehead, scattering shadows.

I would love you as though time itself were fleeting,
carrying your memory like a light that never fades.
Your name would live in the lines of my soul,
etched in brilliance that no storm could wash away.

Each shared moment would become sacred,
like an ancient land untouched by forgetting.
In the quiet, I would tell you everything,
secrets only the heart can speak.

I would walk beside you as years turn and shift,
through laughter that echoes and tears that linger.
With you, I would discover the meaning of home,
the foundation of everything I am and could be.

If I knew what love is, I would take its hand,
and together, we would journey through this vast world,
holding onto each glance, each breath,
because with you, there could be no ending.
