Love Like Yours Poem by Angela Bontle Ditumiso

I was introduced to love
Pure love that doesn't mar
Instantly, I knew why sometimes
Love is compared to honey
My mouth watered
I wanted you in my life

The first time I saw you
My heart stammered
So much I felt dizzy
As if wings had sprouted in my back
I was cutting time in halves and quarters
For the first time, I felt I was in control
My mind stood still
All the dirty thoughts scattered around
Like a messy room disappeared away

And as I walked away from you
My heartbeat like a gong
Each beat telling me to go back
But love like yours I wasn't ready for
