ROMANCE: "SEASON OF LOVE" BY MAURICE N CHIADZWA

Our voices go down

What rises, you may frown

You touch my heart

And I fall apart

You make my guard fall

And love starts to flow

Emotions flood

We've both fallen hard

The smile on your lips

Smooches like sips.

I stand close to her

Breathing the same air

Love is in each breath

She brings me to earth

Reshapes my eye balls

To hearts on white snows 

Bliss and her blushy smile

A whirl of hearts for a while,

Go gently, like bubbles

Standing on pebbles

Sweetness showers

Love grows and towers.

Your heart feels warm

The desire in your bosom

Red candlesticks are lit

We both want it:

The oceans of silence

The soothing romance

You're all I can think

In your warmth I sink

In your presence I melt

Aww... Heartfelt.

Over and above

Must be a season of love.
