Poetry: LOVE

Michelle Dube

I’m writing this out of love
The kind l don’t deserve
The one that a teenage girl would kill for
The one that puts butterflies in your tummy

Ok, let me not sound like a fairy tale
But you became my Adam
By that u made me feel like Eve
Like l was made from your rib
And l m using a part of you everyday
No wonder l m pulled to you

You just don’t have that ability to make me laugh
Cause every boy can do it
But it takes a gentleman to make me cry
And that’s you

Your presence completes me
Your smile builds me
Your touch puts me together
Your voice makes my day

Even this poem can’t express how l feel
I feel like a little bird set out to fly
A lion on it’s first hunt
A bride on her day

When l close my eyes to pray
U the first sentence
And l can never thank God enough for you
When l say amen and open my eyes
Heavens kill me for lying
Cause l think of you and smile again

My full name is Nyaladzi Lester Kole, and I come from Plumtree, Zimbabwe. My educational journey began in primary school, where I attended three different institutions: Mlomwe Primary School for my early grades (1 to 3), Nopemano Primary School for my middle years (4 to 6), and culminating at Thekwane Primary School for my final primary year (Grade 7). For secondary education, I continued my studies at Thekwane High School, navigating Forms 1 to 6, where I developed a deeper appreciation for learning and personal growth. Following my secondary education, I pursued higher education at the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), where I earned a degree in Media in Publishing Studies and proudly graduated in 2021. Professionally, I've had the privilege of working with a variety of organizations, gaining diverse experiences that have enriched my career. I began my journey at College Press, where I honed my skills as a copy editor. I then took on the role of personal assistant at Nomina Music, developing organizational and communication skills. My passion for storytelling found a home at CURE Children's Hospital of Zimbabwe, where I engaged with children through creative narratives. As a project manager at Vision to Africa, I coordinated efforts to bring impactful projects to fruition before transitioning to my current role at Scrivener as a publisher and writer, where I combine my love for literature and publishing. Beyond my professional life, I consider myself a multifaceted creative. I have explored various artistic avenues, including graphic design, photography, and music production. In the realm of music, I produce under the moniker Stainless Kole, where I express my musical creativity and collaborate with others to create unique sounds.
