ROMANCE: LOVING HER ALWAYS BY MAURICE N CHIADZWA

His heart travels 

Just as the sea

Tides and troubles

Wild and yet free

Driven by her flare

He will be loving her...

Until the stars crush

And steam in the sea

Until we get to catch

A sunset in the east

Until we find dry air

And warmth in the mist 

As clouds across the sky

Light and vulnerable,

His spirits get so high

His heart's now stable

Melted by her stare

He will be loving her...

Until eagles start to

Hide rain in a nest

Until we catch a 

Sunrise in the west

Until hyaenas lay

With lions in a glade

As a soft soothing wind

Cooling as a breeze

Brushy without a print

Warmth filled with ease

Mesmerised when she's there

He will be loving her...
