The Eve Of My Heart - Part 1 Poem by Martin Greyford

I was twenty years of age when
Love opened my eyes with its magic rays,
And touched my spirit for the first
Time with its fingers,
And Leah Nyirenda was the first woman
Who awakened my spirit with her beauty
And led me into the garden of high affection,
Where days pass like dreams and nights like weddings.
Leah Nyirenda is the one who have taught me
To worship beauty by the example of her

Own beauty and revealed to me the
Secrets of love by her affection.
She is the one who first sang to me
The real poetry of life.
In every young man's life there is a
Leah Nyirenda who appears to him suddenly
And makes him to recapture that strange hour,
The memory of which changes his deepest
Feelings and makes him so happy
Inspite of all the bitterness of its mystery.

While in the spring of life and transforms
His solitude into happy moments and
Fills the silence of his nights with music.
I was deeply engrossed in thoughts and
Contemplation and seeking to understand
