Lovelorn

I fantasise with you in my mind, if you could touch the love in my heart you would know the texture of true love - Ntshonga Awonke

LOVELORN

I am kept awake by memories we never made

Swimming in salty waters I fail to keep my pillow dry

My thoughts are racing, you're the prize

For I was raised to keep my eyes on the prize

My cheeks are a wetland, never dry

For my eye-falls forever run

Ask me how I make it, everyday

It will take a tale to pierce your heart

The daily bread serves, so I survive

Your image feeds my rocky soul

And splashes tears on my lid banks

Out and rolling like a fountain

So pure my eyes are cleansed

My heart is bleeding but you don't see

It is already designed to pump blood 

You are the spring of my bitter sweet love

But you never fill the narrow calabashes in my soul

Your image never leaves the gaols of my heart

Perfectly fit to the floor of my soul

I'll never have doubts on my side

As the time still ticks 

I hope, to you, these words I'll demystify

For this affection will never, by death, die

Beautiful. I can feel the forlorn.
