Love Literati contest - shortlisted submission - elsieisy blog

Ahuru m gi naya’m
It is an expression of my love for you
It is the way in which I see you that the rest of the world cannot comprehend


It is the way I feel for you that even I, can never comprehend
The world glances your way and sees a bloody cliché
It is not an exaggeration to say the spectacular sight of you is illuminating, even to a blind man


The world sees a misplaced soul,
I see an astute man
A man in control of his life
Full of life
Full of passion


Overcome by determination
With fiery passion, comes eminent obstacles
Every hurdle faced head on
Daring to take elevated risks
Zealous to make a difference
You don’t take naps


Cause you and the money are way too attached to go and do that
Here stands a man who will do what he must to get what he needs
Good sex and a spliff get you off your own back
If I can make life easier
the way you do mine


Make you smile
Let you recline
Alleviate some stress from your mind
Give yougood loving when you wake
Pay attention to the passion


The passion is the most carnal yet modest feeling of all
Does the passion make you shiver? Does it?
When I look in your eyes, all I see is fireworks
My stomach quakes and my heart flutters
How did I end up right here with you?


What can I do to make you stay right here with me?
And I know it’s a no, no, how I’m feeling for you
I can’t rid you off my sheets
Coiled in your skin, is where I’m stuck
I better find your loving
I better find your heart


Reach for my hand cause it’s held out for you
Everything might change but one thing will remain true
Understand, you are meant to be more than a friend
However hard we try,
we will always be sensual.
Down, down, down into the darkness of romance,

with me?
And I know it’s a no, no, how I’m feeling for you
I can’t rid you off my sheets
Coiled in your skin, is where I’m stuck
I better find your loving
I better find your heart


Reach for my hand cause it’s held out for you
Everything might change but one thing will remain true
Understand, you are meant to be more than a friend
However hard we try,
we will always be sensual.
Down, down, down into the darkness of romance,

Gently it goes- the sultry, the carnal, the fleshy.
Through flaws and faults
I love every atom that comprises your being
Young, brash and cocky


Easy in manner, yet solid as steel
They say we fall in love with people’s flaws
and the perfect person would be impossible to love.
It is easy to understand why I fell so hard for you
There is true beauty amongst the odd & the imperfect


A Non-conformist
Reaching to touch the ones who won’t hear
Never afraid to propose what is bold
Ever assuring he will stand by his word
Above all things, you embrace your flaws so perfectly
and your flaws my darling, are beautiful


You are flawsomeand I see you
I see you through the façade
I see you slowly letting me in
I see truth through your eyes
I see truth in your eyes
It’s the simple things
that make me see you
for who you truly are
