Like You Were My First Love Poem by William Ndoyisile Somenze

i was twenty one when my heart tripped in its enormous beat cause of your alluring sight,
when i began to thrive and the scent of your skin that enabled my nostrils to sniff the aroma of love and opened up my eyes,

when shackles that fixed me to a childhood stage were broken by the dabbled emotions that spattered at your exquisite portrayal,
when the lour emaciated description vision that i had envisioned of what love is and has been got elucidated by an angel stealthily strolling down earth where angels are rare to tread,

when i began to wonder if my death has summoned me cause i embarked to see heaven under the sky because of this well moulded soul,
when i saw myself transforming into a being with metal fillings magnitized and attracted by a sultry being whose appearance was like a magic wand.

i was twenty one when my heart wailed like a lone sea-bird, palpitations beating against my bosom to articulate the pain and unhappiness that two decades of my life had instilled in me,

when i loved you before i fell now that i did your love makes me incapable to impel.
