Learning To Love Poem by samuel moses okello

Waking up this morning, I saw the
Promise of anew day, life as its- is
Beautiful and that’s what we desire
But like the rising sun comes this
Special person-like a flood our daily
Constitution is swept aside……….

Like the rainy season, you place the thickest
Cloud in my conscience, and rain on me with your
Unmatched acts, as if you were the lost key in my life
You set me off like a racing car out of time…….
Just doing the extraordinary things for you dear, and leaving the ordinary Minds bemused by my energy
This is the person I truly love……………………

In you my critical eyes have been blinded to your faults
My stone built heart has melted to the ever forgiving one
My sharp tongue has learnt politeness, and for the first time
This beating heart of mine is full of your foot prints, like a battalion
Did a parade practice on it………rub dub-boom……….
This is the person I truly love…………………………….

My time has become your time and your time- my time, I take the
Whole day silent like you don’t matter but whom am I fooling
Every grain in me is thinking of you and that’s my routine, my quiet prayer
Is for you to be fine and keep dazing me with your smile at the point of our
Meeting…….that’s because in my time zone every minute is your time, the
Hour begins and ends with you…this the person I truly love…………

Today I walk with a swagger that makes me look like am climbing the mountains
To the unsuspecting on looker this is pride but sorry to disappoint you, am just the man
In love and I hope to you my dearest that am not in this alone………
I love you………
