My Love For You… Motho
Napo Masheane
I don’t love in whispers
My love is not silent
I don’t love with caution
My love is not weary
My love for you indulges everything in its wake
It is loud
It is bold
It is raw
It is awe
It is still
It is real
My love for you has no filters
It doesn’t cover the face
But wraps up in prayer
It cries
It tries
It rises
It shines
Holds tight to dreams
Folds high in tears
My love for you speaks like the ghetto
And secretly slips-up in an echo
It is an idiom only two hearts make out
It soils
