First Love Poem by Caleb Tukahiirwa

I became different, different from me
I felt a feeling that made me-,
So weak to move a finger,
Still that I couldn’t say a word,
Shy to smile in my room mirror.
While happier than any man alive
Flying and standing on the ground
Within those beautiful shining stars
I could easily touch the highest heavens
Like kings and queens all bowed to me
I felt rains of love fall on my face
And the airs filled with this great scent
A scent that spelt out the spiritual fruits
It was too delicious, too good to be true
But yes, it was, and here with me
Paradise, a world that only you had made
This that only appeared at your sight
Through your eyes, I saw it all come to life
In your voice love symphonies played
Eventually that day you looked away
So it vanished and never has it come back
For you too have never looked back at me
