Love Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

You are neither here nor there
You were last seen on Valentine’s day
Criss-crossing the city streets
Your heart full of love
Your lips painted red
With the blood of young lovers
Flowing through your veins
You made promises
That inflated people’s hearts
Giving them hope
Of a better tomorrow
You gave people love
On a silver platter
With ribbons of love
You tied their hearts
To a fantastic fantasy
That never came
Only pain remains
Memories of your one-night stand
Still haunts us today
With its blissful tale
Puncturing our hearts
Robbing us of our peace
You have been gone too long
