I was an innocent boy until my first love Kaluki taught me how to kiss,
When i first met her, i mistakenly thought she was a shy girl,
Little did i know she was a mistress of top notch romance,
Still young and naive, i decided to allow her to lead our love journey,

It happened many years ago when i was in high school,
She used to visit me at exactly ten in the morning,
When everyone else was rushing to relieve themselves at tea break,
We were busy reading our favourite African novel, The River Between,

She would carry a few chocolate sweets just to cheer me up,
Then she would pull a wooden seat towards the edge of the class,
She loved listening to me, i would compose a short haiku poem depicting her beauty,
I would stare at her beautiful face and lines of love would flow in my mind,

She loved cuddling a lot, it was one of her favourite hobbies,
Since we were day-schooling, we would hold hands on our way back home,
For the first time ever in my life, i was carried away into the world of romance,
I never wanted to let her go, so i would voluntarily escort her,

My favourite moment came when we were just about to wave goodbye,
She used to hug me with a tight nestle, up to today no girl has ever surpassed her,
I would gently sleep on her bumpy chest for several minutes, then we would part ways,
She was the last person i would think of at night, before being carried away by the dark chariots of sleep!
