Love Is Not For Me

Khayelihle Bongiswa Gamedze

Love is for the science kids,
Love is for the soccer stars,
For the aged and for the kids,
Love indeed is great!

Solves an equation or two ;
Something a poet can't do.
Equations turn to sweet ballads,
But rhymes to dried out lands.

Makes a kick to goal
And shakes a maiden's soul.
Where is that in art?
A dream torn apart.

I felt love, I felt love,
I expressed it in song.
Alliteration in poetry
Did not get love for me.

Then he came with trigonometry,
And she came with chemistry.
Bonding and reactions, and -
He took from me my best.

Another with a bicycle kick,
And words as sweet as dew.
A house is built with bricks,
And love with words is too.

Never did I tell her,
Only in poetry and song.
And will it make a love as strong?
Only in movies and songs.
