Our Love by Liza Chuma Akunyili

Like atoms in their orbits 

Like planets around the sun 

Like embers of a bonfire 

Ours is a dancing love 

As blazing as the scorching sun 

As daring as a pirate’s ship 

As loud as the ocean waves 

Ours is a passionate love 

Like kids with the neighbours dog 

Like girls on a tea date

Like trees in the summer heat

Ours is a friendly love.
