Modern black love poetry as never seen before. It’s all here, from the madness and ecstasy of falling in love to the agony of heartbreak.
I saw a face today
Which reminded me of the place
Where I first met you
We first spoke
And my heart was already yours
In cold alleyways and doorways
On park benches and hotel floors
The world stood still
And I tattooed your name on my heart
I saw a face today
Which reminded me
That when you left and took your things
You also took a piece of my heart
Taken from ‘Your Face, My Heart’ by Quibilah Montsho
