The world consumes life

Its over 10 years now and you are nowhere to be found Sekuru. You left our beloved home in search of greener pastures in the neighbouring foreign land. Nobody knows what happened to you. Those who last saw you said you were in Polokwane but upto this day we keep praying that you write home or just come back. No, thinking that you are dead, is our worst nightmare. I personally believe that you are hiding somewhere because hide and seek used to be our favorite play. The last time we were together we played that game but little did I know you would just vanish. How I long to be sharing with you my growing up experiences. We were such best friends and I just miss you more by each day. I keep searching on Facebook maybe one day I will link up with you. Did the world consume you that you forgot about us? Ambuya misses you as well as the younger Sekuru, do you even think of them? I wish you could just answer me. How I miss those ecstatic dancing moves, if you were around we would be dancing together. Please come back, wherever you are hiding, it is just time up to be hiding anymore. I am pretty sure that you have grown to be that handsome macho man, and you have the most beautiful woman in your life. We all cant wait for your home coming because we keep missing you by each second that passes without you…

In loving memory of my lost Sekuru Takunda Venge who just vanishesd, we just hope he is alive out there and some day make it back home…

Skin and soul

I find myself crawling
Crawling from within
I wanna pull out of this skin
This skin that has hidden a lot
You dont wanna know whats been hidden
Hidden in this glowing melanin
I have worked to remove all the scars and stretch marks
Stretch marks that were developed from my need to mantain a certain standard
Deep within i just want to be me
Me who wants to be to understood
You cant be within my soul
Maybe you could understand
Understand what it means to be a black woman
Who is proud of her dark chocolate skin
But still stuggling to crawl out of it
Because it hides a lot within
And all she seeks is to be heard
Hear her inward cry
She cries to be freed
Free her from the agony within
Accept her as who she is
Just embrace her flaws
She is just but a super woman
Who needs a strong support system to mantain her soul and skin

Deafening silence

Two souls
Intertwinned with love
Happy at all times
We wanna be
But defining moments arise
We cant see face to face
Let alone say a word
In close proximity we reside
But the silence is deafening
Swallow your pride
Neither of us want
Deep inside we blame each other
None cant take the blame
The silence is deafening
Am i gonna be the first to sing;
“Say something am giving up on you”
To break the deafening silence
Come on babe, just say it,
“Am sorry.”
Or it may be late
And you will be singing;
“Is it too late now to say sorry?”

Starry night

I find myself awake
In the starry night
As I ponder;
What is my destiny?
Where am i heading to?
Why am i here?
When shall i get there?
How do i do so?
My eight hours of sleep
All spent in wonder
I search desperately for answers
Just let me know
Just let me know
I yearn deeply
Oh, starry night
Do you have an idea?
