sweet serenade
Kabelo O. Ntamane 2002 (Matatiele)
in times of sullen darkness
and phases of blinding woe
you were my light, my torch
my only hope and glow
in the stone dark caves
of blemished thoughts
i yearn to hypnotize you
with ethereal words
but ethereal is a meiosis
for all that is untold
i wish i could unfold, unwind, unlock
all the doors and layers to your soul
to know you whole, in and out
so my arms can be
where you seek comfort
