Analysis of Love and words
Nnaji Israel 1999 (Kaduna)
Free from love,
A victory that may never be truly celebrated.
I either accept defeat and celebrate in words,
or be a prisoner in silence.
If I accept defeat then I’m not truly in love.
Caged in This world,
Alive in thoughts but dead to words.
We don’t speak if we are truly hurt,
and If I don’t speak then every other feeling may hurt.
A hurtful journey,
Imprisoned with my celebration song .
I’m a prisoner to my wants so I ought not to flee.
But if love won’t set me free then I’m I really loved?
The endless joke,
Freedom lies in the hands of the prisoner.
it’s truly a pain to love, and to be a prisoner of love.
Because If I’m loving with my heart,
Then you may never know from the start.
Oh! Such a Facade of beauty.

About this poem
Have you ever loved someone or something and found it hard to express yourself? or maybe your expression wasn’t good enough or has it ever been the other way around? Words have a lot of expression on how we perceive or receive love. But what if your words are not just enough even when you try to express your feelings better.... Or what if it’s the other way around?
