Njeri Hunjeri Poet Free verse

We Called It Something Else

It wasn't the adored L... word 
Nor was it the craved L... one
It was something 
     else

We were so Lost
I would Like to Label us
Because we were so....Lame
Lacking the basics, going on in life so Lazily 

Maybe we were just playing it Loyal 
Maybe just Lavish and Luscious 
Maybe we were just Leisuring 
     Having a Laugh
Maybe just Lucky to have Limitless time
     Such a Luxury

If we Listened with our hearts and not with our Lips
This List would be Longer
This List would be Longing...
These Lines would be full of Lyrics
Of the adored L o v e word

If only we Learned with our Lenses
Like Little Lillies, Like Little Ladybugs 
Bright Little Lanterns
Everlasting Lamps
Things could have been more Lucid

When Life threw us Lemons, we made Lemons

For when it was all over, we were still trying to figure it out.
