My Second Love Letter To You

by Nigel Mugamu

So,

You’ve been on my mind all day

Touching my mental in every kind of way

I can smell you

………your fragrance it still lingers in my mind

I feel like I’m seventeen

…………………………again

And I know this feeling won’t end

So I won’t pretend

……………………that I don’t like you

In fact

………I was feeling you the moment our eyes met

My soul wept

………………tears of hope

My mind raced for days

Wondering how to make you notice me

I searched and asked the heavens

…only to look into my own eyes

…and realise that I am a poet

…so I wrote you poetry

My own ‘Love Jones’ rendition

“Live at The Dan’

Dropped it

…without you expecting it

I was so scared I must admit

But I had to

……………I had to let you know that

……………in your eyes

I saw the possibility

The possibility of taking this somewhere

We both want it to go

I’m sorry if I embarrassed you

……I just had to let you know

 

Then reality hits: -

New York in a few days

While my mind is on continuous replay

Replaying that week

………………………over and over

Reliving it all

Inhaling the taste of the air

On holiday

……………living life without a care

Remembering the innocent embrace

The way you laughed

…………………at my silly antics

Allowing me to flirt with you every now and again

But then again

………………you must have known what my intentions were

Couldn’t you tell?

 

I’m feeling everything about you

You’ve made me remember how good love can be

Inspiration for the latest batch of poetry

Yes,

…(sigh)

…………love is a beautiful thing

 

Where to now?

I don’t know

All I know is

……..I’m following my heart

If it inspires me to create art

Then it will enable me 

to turn this feeling into more than

More than a memory

Turn this feeling into a beautiful reality.
