               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
