The Day Love Came To Town... Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

the air was thick with love
painted red by the blossoming love
unwrapped for all to see
displayed in restaurants and cafés
sweet melodies flowing unabated
calling love to emerge
to jump out of its cocoon in delight
having been nourished undisturbed
young love and old love
poured out for all to see
the delight of lovers in display
as they embraced the moment
the day love came to town

settling in their corner
their hearts soaked by the flowing love
glued together by the love they share
the air above them witnessing the occasion
silently absorbing each and every laughter
smiles radiating for all to see
in celebration they ate together
taking turns to sip from the same glass
holding hands in delight
the light shining in their eyes
burning bright for all to see
as they embraced the moment
the day love came to town

the night was crawling away
as the whispering sounds slowly disappeared
replaced by caressing hands and long kisses
passions oozing out for all to see
in unison heart beats rhymed together
inviting powerful feelings to emerge
answering the call of love
the chemical spillage of love
causing their bowels to boil
as they embraced the magical moment
the day love came to town

the stars ever shining
like diamonds in the sky
a gift from the gods above
left for lovers to share
as they lay down in the open grass
their hearts beating faster and faster
their kisses growing stronger
like hungry beasts they consumed each other
opening the doors for more magical spells
to flow in them causing their bodies to spasm
in a tonic clonic dance of love
unaware of the passing time
the cooling breeze around them
caressing their skin undisturbed
arousing the feeling in their bowel
the steam engines starting to erupt
as they embraced the magical moment
the day love came to town

they lay there for a while
exhausted, they tried to breathe
their bodies submerged in sweat
their hearts calling for more
the stars looking at them in silence
having witnessed the magical moment
their tears held back
their cries subdued
as they embraced the magical moment
the day love came to town...
