The antidote
Kamva Likho Sikani 2003 (Eastern Cape,Port EzEzlibeth)
Numerous descriptions exist
in the encyclopedia.
The subject is so divine and unspotted.
Love is generous and filled with various lessons.
Therefore love does what many wish they could comprehend and perform.
Love maneuvers through rooms of discomfort and ambiguity.
Thus she educates and eradicates resentment.
Love is warm even in the most frosty seasons.
Love is tedious.
An animal with human functions.
They are plants planted for any reason.
From the wet soil with direct rays to cotton in a dry room.
Hence it still blooms.
It is a greenhouse disguised as a home.
Thus it imitates a pristine and soulful melody.
Yet it is capable of being deceitful.
Hence in its defense, it mounts like Rome.
It transforms into a vile and hideous character.
-& unlike the waters, the heat itself is testing.
It can escape in silence.
However, even after 14 seasons of orbiting; love is still consistent.
Love is reassuring; Love has always been the reason behind it.
Various definitions of love can be located in the web engines.
However, love is what is encrypted and harbored in one's belief.
For me ? love is you.
