Teach
me to love
Not
to be a novice in the office of emotion
To
submit my notion under the reign of emotion
Stark
me naked of my raw mind
To
love make me not blind
Awake the feelings in me
Let
the passions in me swell
I’m
ready to learn to stop being cruel
Teach
me to love
To
comfort a body in sleep
To
rap lips with my lips
And
touch a tongue with my tongue
To
be a cover to an uncover self
To
smile and brighten a life
To
love, be loved and be a wife
Teach
me to love
To
trust with no doubt
To
give my all to somebody’s in submission
To
close my eyes and see ‘him’
To
clear my voice and chant his hymn
To
think of selves and not myself
Teach
me to love
