Because Of Love Poem by Achieng' Ochieng'

Because you love me, you present a rose today
And turn it into a thorn tomorrow
Because you love me, you caress me today
And Slap me tomorrow
Because you love me, you whisper sweetly in my ears here n' now
And bark at me without a thought tomorrow
Because you love me, you give me audience today
And tomorrow, ignore my very presence
Because you love me, you awaken my every sense today
And get cold as ice tomorrow

Because I love you,
I receive your every rose and ignore the painful prick
Because I love you,
I enjoy your every caress and hit back not
Because I love you
I chuckle at the whispers and give the barks a deaf ear!
Because I love you
I appreciate your audience and disappear at your silence
Because I love you
I melt away at your every smile and busy myself at the coldness

I am confused but this I know;
Because of love,
Ti's possible to ignore every heart ache,
Ti's possible to feel alive again,
Because of love,
Ti's possible to forgive more than minds can comprehend
But only love that has purity of purpose
Why then can't you see that I love you?
And why then can't you act and say you love me too
Because of love, I ask; to be free
