»Immortal Love Script«

by Mercy Buhle Mhlaba

If this is dejavue then my heart lied before
Cause this far outweighs yesterday.
I have never known what it means to cry this way,
To cry for what is and not what was.
Neither have I known what it means to love selflessly...
Why I have words stuck at the tip of my tongue I will never know,
Why my mind is so endlessly stuck on thoughts of love I can never explain,
Why my ears choose to hear odes of smitten song is best left to their knowledge.
What I know for sure is that my heart sings a song,
My mouth utters a verse
My hands reach out to something indescribable
My eyes continuously choose to see light
And my face glows from a spark of light deep inside me.

If a skip of the heart symbolized love
Then I was misled a million times Cause the pounding beneath my chest tells me more.
I want to run and never stop,
Not from love but with it
I am so afraid if I stop I will lose it.
Once I held onto a thin piece of love and when it broke I fell hard,
This time I have enveloped myself with it
So when I fall I am fully cushioned and I will still rise...
I am so comfortable the bliss is hitting me from all ends,
The warmth of what I feel is unforgivably blazing
The depth of what I can express is like a bottomless pit
The strength of what moves me has got me floating in air
The realization of how immense this emotion is,
has lifted me to higher ground.
Love has eaten me up,
It has completely devoured me and it continues to do so...eternally.
