This is a spontaneous piece of poetry as usual. I want to write three poems for Ake Festival but I don't know how to start. I can write random verses on this platform but I don't have that assurance when I write for outside steemit consumption. I don't know what is wrong with me.
IF THIS IS NOT LOVE
So I will not love you,
Not touch you,
Not cry over you?
So I will not want you,
Not curse you,
Not worry about you?
So this is not love,
This fever inside me?
This is not forever,
This dream fluttering within?
So this is not love,
This weakness in my knees?
This is not happy ever after,
This thirst cradling my lips?
What were those words
Which you tongued my earlobes
With beneath warm bedsheets?
What were those moans,
Those sighs and groans,
The grabbing and squeezing,
Your warm breath soothing my skin?
What were those, if not love?
