Humphrey Haji Luvumbi Poet Free verse

Love Till It Hurts

I want to love till it hurts
I want to love like it's the last thing
Cause what's life without love
For the essence of life is love 

So lemmi love you while I can
Cause the world never stops
So why would I stop loving
While it's what keeps me going 

So lemmi love you like no one can
Cause I understand you well
And even in our shortcomings
I'd still want to love you through it 

For I'm not new to love
Maybe just new at this love
Cause it hurts everywhere I touch
That's why I long for your embrace 

I long to be in your arms 
Under the warmth of your heart
So that it feels my heart beating next to it
Just like how it will be next to it for life

David Wakeling January 25, 2023 at 11:17 PM This seems naive.Most people don't experience "love".They experience domestic violence and hatred.This reads as an unaware poem
