What Part Of Me Loved You First? Poem by Isunge Mwangase

</></>What part of me loved you
first?
Is it my eyes,
As they seemed to see for the
first time?
Watching your hips sway
And legs sashay as if
The world balances under your feet?
Perhaps it is my ears,
At your first hello
Or listening to your voice's
cadence flowing in melodious laughter,
I know! It is my hands
As our hearts touched-
My lips,
Our first kiss
As our souls were exchanged,
No, it must be the stomach-
That tingle when I think of
you,
Perhaps it is the skin,
As our bodies collide.
Feeling the heat from your radiating smile
And the setting cool climes of
your soul?
Maybe it is from every atom of me,
I do not know for sure what
part of me love you first,
But this I know,
If I blew out all my love for
you,
I would create a hole in the
sky.
