Something Deeper Than Material Love Poem by nthabiseng kgoronyane

I am a woman of substance,
Your money and status does not impress me.
I look for the person your are alone
Without your name attached to your image.
Your thoughts are what intrigues me,
Your actions when nobody is watching
Are what captures me.

From you l want what money can't afford,
If you could give me love wrapped with
Attention and devotion all dedicated to me
I shall be the most contented woman,
The so-called "eternal love",
Your soul marrying my soul,
Something not even a ring can symbolize.

I want time, your time
When we could sit silently under the stars
Yet feel like we just had an amazing
"First time me know you and you know me'
Kind of conversation.
I want that connection where we both believe
we can fly without wings
Just because we believe.

Your looks are like lyrics of a perfect song,
when around you l want to dance forever,
Smile cause your smile tickles me.
Your presence being able to humble me
Without a word,
Me being the twin to oxygen for you.
No money, no status, no car you own
Would ever substitute what you alone
Can be to capture me.
