»It's your love, nestling in my heart and mind«

by Rantikwane Legwale

In the quietness of my heart, I hear it drizzling,
Like a gentle summer rainfall so soft.
In the corners of my mind, it is a gentle whistling,
Like a sweet love story sung so soft.

Confusions and cares are thrown asunder.
In gentle and gallant ways I trace your face.
My heart, my mind have been hit like thunder.
It has become a way of life I cannot erase.

It blows my mind, it baffles my solitary life,
Amidst the passions of pain of love gone by,
It stands alone as a forerunner of sweet life.
Amidst the sorrows and sadness it will not die.

Curiously and patiently it urges me on,
It tears me apart with its ferocious drive.
It is candid and sweet and goes on and on.
It is your love, nestling in my heart and mind.
