Poetry And Me Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

We met a long time ago
Under the shadow of Silence
Rockies in the defence force of the spirit
We went through a rough time of getting to know each other
At first, it was awkward fondling each other
I didn't have the words to let her know my true feelings
She was too shy to show me her erotic side
It was through persistence and perseverance that we broke through our incapacitated mental state
Actually, we rearranged our mental framework
Erased a lot of stuff that hindered the smooth flow of our love
We threw out chunks of our egos and embedded prejudices
Sliced through painful scars and allowed our emotions to be known
We dislodged the congestion inside our hearts
Dissected through the solid ligaments of fear
And allowed the vessel of our relationship to flourish
Poetry was beautiful, artistic and mysterious
I was close to my natural self, very silent and meditative
Capable of opening my petals and letting my fragrance flow
It was not love at first sight
Our love blossomed over time
It was a step by step romantic adventure that culminated in an explosion of ecstasy
A very rare kind of sacred bond holds our hearts together
We are very intertwined, our moods closely reflect each other
Our psyche is empty of worry and full of positive vibes
We have allowed our spirit to be fused
It is unconditional Love all the way
