Two sweet love poems by one sweet student
Author: Madahana Mbayah
My Eternity
I was just there, seated by the stair
My eyes were roving, and they caught a stare
A glitter from a distance, from a pair of eyes
Deep, sunken, penetrating, enough to paralyze
This time though I was brave enough
To get off my seat, to make you my better half
Which I did succeed, and now I have you
May this poem be a part of my love for you
I caught your stare, I recall, and stared back
You blushed, looked down, and I felt my luck
I moved forward, you moved back, we moved at least
You reached a wall, I reached you, we reached and kissed
I saw you smile, and my lips curved also
I watched you shy, and I loved you more, more so
You told me a lot, about you and also about me
Most of which were true, you had researched, I see
You were smiling so brightly, you were meant to shine
And now I am yours, and now you are mine
I love you; I would say that to eternity
You are my eternity; I believe in this affinity.
The Best I’ll Ever Have
Just when I thought my heart would never love again
You appeared before me and made my heart rate gain
Just when I thought it was broken and hard to fix
You came to me with glue and picked it piece by piece
Just when I thought my opinion on love was thwarted
You saved my mind and loved me when I was brokenhearted
And now when I am having doubts about our love
You come to me with words “the best I’ll ever have”
