LOVE TALES
by Eghele Akpere
It was love’s lullaby
That turned the heart blind;
To the unloved one,
The wisest lover is a fool.
It was love’s blindness,
That cursed the fool brave;
The lame, for her said,
I’d leap over a hill.
It was love’s whispers,
That forced the fool out of his life;
She said, I’m scared,
Take my bullet; and he gladly did.
It was love’s sweetness,
That got the heart stuck:
Repeatedly singing,
I’d be blind, I’d be your fool.
Yet in love, we all fall,
Always.
