Love mailed me her glances

I hadn’t learnt to read

To read her signs

The same glance

Kept coming

In different persons

I couldn’t

I couldn’t see

The message

Boldly written

On each opportunity

One day whiles gleaning lessons

From the footprints of time

I came across a plantation of ripe girls

Seeds of love’s glances

Seeds of friendship

That had blossomed

Someone had understood

A fool I have been

I continue to starve

In a city where sex is the staple food
