Teach Me How To Love Poem by Bolami lawal

Teach me how to love '

Once, you showed me the beauty of gold;
but never told me it's been through the heat,
Once, you unveiled the morning ray;
but never told me its been through the dark....

When you taught me to give,
you taught me, to give it all;
When you taught me to love,
you never warned me, that it's fire burns....

Tell me, how can I begin to smile?
when my heart has long, lost its beats,
Tell me, how do I learn to dance?
when my legs are out of rhythms....

And now that my bosom groans from ache,
Now that I feel the burnt of love's fiery furnace;
Now that this Heart of mine is torn in pieces,
You must teach me how to love Again....
