Waves on the bank

Waves on the bank

A Poem by Mufaro Kudakwashe Joseph Mangono
"

When you part with a good friend you will always be reminded of them, just like the bank is constantly reminded by waves

"

 

 

What wishes are to say time denotes

What words are to say to some its remote

Though it may seem more of a diabolical phrase

The million of dreams we had l shall not erase

Prejudiced by fate l am taken into altitudes of insanity

For time and consistency have escaped my vicinity

But memories are there not to be blank

There to forever leave a mark like waves on the bank

 

Thus before l embark on my voyage

I saw it fit to write homage

To the billion of experiences we had

To the translucent pictures in our mind that are not to fade

And l learnt something about legal positivism

And time sharpened my sarcasm

And upon a Valley l drank

As l visualise the waves hitting the banks

 

Within age we grow crazier by the day

And within time you sometimes wish it would stay

For who knows what zhim zhang zhong means

For who knows crocodile gorge except the keen

And nothing was bitter all was but sweet

A prelude guaranteeing that again we shall meet

Thus as l glide and never to crank

I understand the chronology of waves on the bank

Waves on the bank that l cannot rank

Waves on the bank that l admire
waves on the bank that have a mysterious attire

Just beautiful waves on the bank

I like the description of the waves. The ocean cannot be controlled. I believe the same goes for life too. I like the thoughts and wisdom in the words.
"For who knows what zhim zhang zhong means
For who knows crocodile gorge except the keen
And nothing was bitter all was but sweet"
I like the above lines a lot. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
