Write Me A Love Letter Poem by Thobile Masondo

Write me a love letter
With no fancy rhymes or bombastic words
Impress me with your heart, not your ability and charm
Keep it simple and straight to the point
Describe the emotion not my beauty
Allow me to see your heart and soul
Describe every skipped beat
And arrhythmia
Tell me about the butterflies in your stomach
And how weak your knees become when you see me
I know sometimes you speak in tongues and misplace your vocabulary
In my presence
Tell me more
Dear lover, tell me how you toss and turn at night
Thinking of the right words, the right verse and the right attire
Hhm, funny how mighty and strong you are
And yet this petite powerless me makes you flee
You so want to meet me, but you change direction when I come your way
Tell me why
Help me understand the desperation of your heart
Perhaps, I can take a peak
And see for myself, how weak your heart is
You don't look me in the eye witty lover
You lose your charm and shake like a leaf
Inside me, I giggle mischievously
Pen it down my seeker
Write me a love letter
