Imilebe Yethu (our lips)

Our lips meet in silence,

A dance of secrets and truths,

Whispers of forbidden love

Echoing in the chambers of our hearts. 

In the hush of night,

We find solace in each other’s arms,

Defying the world outside

That refuses to see our love. 

Every touch, a rebellion;

Every kiss, a declaration

That our love exists,

That our love persists.

We are here,

In the softness of our embrace,

In the strength of our unity,

In the truth of our love.
