Twenty Short Stories of Love
By Ng'ethe Githinji
1
I love
you…
You
are my north, my south, my east and west… I love you
To the
end of the earth
Stay
with me, love me
I love you
2
I can
see you
There
you are
In my
heart
The
sound of your voice
The
touch of your hand
You,
Only
you
I can see you
3
Feel
my breath on your hand
Touch
the soul of my heart
Passion
Love
Lust
Heart
4
Your
eyes guide me through the night
Your
hands hold me tight
Your
heart leads the way to my heart
I want
to stay
Whisper
Ask me
to stay
Breath
Make me sweat
5
Guess
what?
I love
you
Why do
you love me?
Because I love you
6
I
never want to love again
It
hurts
Pain,
sorrow, pieces
Broken
pieces
I never want to love again
7
With
my eye shut
And my
heart stopped
I feel
the love you have for me
As I
sit and wait
I know
the right way
To the
end of the road
You
guide me. Love me, keep me
One
day I know we will meet
As the
birds fly past
As the
days go by
I know
I want to see you
Neither the sun, the moon, nor the stars
Will keep me away
8
I wake
I
stare
Love
Despair
Sleep
Dream
The
moon and the stars
The
heavens and the earth
Stay
Leave
Catch the train
9
Wake
up
Open
your eyes
And
your heart
Leave
all your troubles behind
Run
out the door
Catch
the bus or the train
Leave
all your bags behind
All
the bad days behind
Watch the sun rise another way
10
Adore
Admire
Consume, obsess
Decide
Evolve, devolve
Follow, lead
Hate,
love
Grief,
grieve
Pleasure, pain
Restore, destroy
A to z
11
Today
I saw this man
And he
touched me
I was
not aware of who he was
Or
what he would do
Today
I saw this man
He
will be love
To me
The
way to the heart
Is
through the soul
The
way to the soul is through the eyes
And
the smile…
This
man?
He
will be love
To me
12
I am
your friend
I
would die for you
This
is my life
I
choose to live it now
Love
Hate
Pain
Glory
This
is my friend
I know
what to do now
The
time
The
sky is my guide
Take me to my place
13
Tell
the story of the day
As the
sun sets and the rain rains
The
story will grow
Tell
the tale
Of the
way of the world
Straight is the path
Hard
is the road
Over
the hill
Down
the valley
Through the dark into the night
Into
the rain
Tale
of the story
The
burden of truth
Is the
story of life
Hard
is the road
The
tale of time
Be
strong
Tell
your story
And
the tale of your life will unfold
Set you free
14
My
love
In my
heart each day
Your
smile, your touch, your eyes
They
guide me
And
keep me
Safe
and sane
Without you I could be lost
I love
you, I thank you, I adore you
You
make me smile
With
every beat of my heart
And
every breath I take
I
thank the heavens and the stars,
My love
15
And as
I looked unto the heavens
And
the stars
I knew
then, more than ever
I am
alive
A
life,
Every
breath, every motion I take
Every
beat of my heart tells me so
Alive
A life
I know now.
16
Life,
liberty and free thought
Give,
take and see the light
On the
verge of life
Not
the edge of death
This
is my world
I live
it, in it and by it
Every
breath
Every
beat of my heart
Free,
happy, strong.
Meet
people
See
the world
Reach
for the stars
Smile
Don’t
be afraid, don’t cry
This
too shall pass
The
heavens
The
earth, will be yours,
Touch the sky
Keep
your head up high
Strong,
Proud
Be
yourself, love yourself
Sleep like a child.
17
He
stood there
Waiting for his love
Waiting
And
wanting
Forbidden love
Why
the world goes round
Why
move on
Why
not be with your love
Speak,
think, live and wish
They
love each other
Know
it will not work
I am
the show on the floor, the orchid in the back,
The
fly on the wall
I see
the look in their eyes
Is
life fair
Is
love wrong
Will
it be fine
Life
is not fair and love is not wrong
Loved
and beloved
Love,
true love and sin
Do you stand there.
18
Out in
the middle of nowhere
Deep
in the heart of man
True
love lives
Even
though sometimes hard
Sunrise, sunset,
Moonrise and dusk
Colour
of your heart
Keep
it alert
Sing,
dance,
Out in the middle of no where
19
I am
love
I am
hate
I lust
I wait
I am
life eternal
Hate
is in me
Lust I
know, waiting is not my game
Each
morning
Rise
of the sun
Each
rise of the moon
I know
I am love.
20
At the
beginning of time
The
dawn of evolution
The
spark that lit the heavens
And
the earth
I knew
I was there
With
the rising tides
And
the falling leaves
As the
sands of time blew into the distance
And
the winds of change came about
By the
hands of the gods
And
the swords of thieves
It was
called upon
Created
Spawn
or even carved
We are
the universe, the sun the moon and the stars,
We are
the same, bit by bit, bone by bone,
At the
beginning of time
I was there.
20(a)
I look
unto the heavens and the sky
I see
the stars and the sun
I see
you and me,
He and
she
She
and he
You
and i
As all
good things come and go
They
come again
Just
like the sun
Rising
in the east
And
setting in the west and rising in the east
We are
one
We
live, we die
We are
one
We
re-live and find our sight
Like
the days of the sun and nights of the moon
Each
has their time
Know
your space
Find
your heart
Speak
the truth
Follow
the path
Hard
may be the way
Sore
may be your feet
We are
one, even with the sun
You
are mine, we are one
You,
me, he, she
Sun, moon, stars.
