Poems Niederngasse

Olutayo Kadmiel Osunsan  -  Uganda------
Love…
 
Is love not our entitlement and requirement,
The heritage that all humanity is cultivated on,
The common thread that knits our lives together
In awkward circumstances and simple moments.
 
Love is as common as sand on an isolated beach,
Its simplicity is too complicated for sensible people
And only ‘fools’ can truly appreciate the selflessness
That love evokes when a soul yields to the hopes of another.
 
Love is our father, the life we are to live and all we need;
Compelling, never discriminating and always forgiving,
Love is simple enough to afford; it goes beyond the physical
To the supernatural where in love everything is possible.
