Love Before-After Love Poem by Titto Mutunguti

I was once in love,
A slave of my own expectation.
I disapointed my love
And my own self.
I thought I deserved it all.
As a lover,
I thought love was supposed to be perfect.
Now i know.
But i dont know what to do about it.
My love was a tough prison
With mean hearts,
On a mission
Playing darts,
With no brains to reason.
My love was a wrecked ship,
More like a wet bed
And no where to sleep.
I fought and finally found my way out.
I broke loose,
And ran like a wild goose,
With much freedom to use.
But then love got attachments.
It's okay,
If things dont go your way.
It's alright to be mad.
But not for a lifetime.
Dont lose your mind,
Be kind.
There is this good news,
We could use.
My waters are now calm for all sailors.
I can even swim in them.
I am so happy.
I look forward to the next adventure.
