LLM Mbatha - She Says…

She says, she also loves gazing
At the midnight sky…
That’s why she took physics,
Though it is a challenging subject
She knows each constellation by name
And she thinks my locks are
Beautiful! And there’s nothing
Odd about the way I talk
‘Tis just my ‘direct’ look that
Frightens her sometimes…
She loved the kudu mince
I made for supper last night
She wonders why I have a way
With words! ? I said ‘tis just
My heart speaking, not me!
Fine then, she says, but real
People are not supposed to
Fall in love so easily…
She smiles again and walks…
