Waiting For Love Poem by Ngutoli Swu

Love they say comes to everyone
Love they say is for the brave
Love they say is pain and pleasure
Love they say is bliss
Love they say is heaven
Love love love the world spins around it
Love a mere four letter word that can build or destroy
Love in all its glory and doom
Love in its prime and its death
Yet it seems so far away from me
I watch it descend on everyone around me
I see it working its magic on some and breaking some apart
I see and i watch and i wait
I wait and i wait and the more i wait
The farther it seems to go away
Like the stars it shines oh so bright
But i can never hold it in the palm of my hands
Nor can i long for it to fall into my lap
Do i reach out for it or just wait and watch
Waiting for it to wave its magic over me
Waiting to discover and to feel its waves crushing over me
Waiting for it to gently blow over me like the wind caressing my hair
Waiting and i wait...
