Love you, Come to me



A morning that dawned clear and beautiful
Beautiful clear blue skies darkened by my tears
I mourn the love that eludes my grasp,
I smell the scent of a joyful heart.
I can only smell but not feel
I have lost you my love, come hither lest this be the end of me
My heart in a million pieces
Have I angered the Gods of love if there be any?
Am I cousin with folly I lament?
I love you my love come to me
I grace you with a heart so pure and love so deep.
I love you my love, come to me.

Mirror, Mirror I was the fairest you said,
What purpose does it serve if not turn frogs to Princes?
My beautiful tender lips nditsho “imilebe “bruised and battered from kissing the frogs that darken my doorstep
I raise my voice to Cupid and my Ancestral Gods of love and lament the dire situation of my life.
I love you my love, come to me.

Love beckons and eludes “iyaphulukana”.
You are here and yet closed your heart to my love and your ears to my lamentations.
My heart bleeds rivers that feed the sea of pain
My tears, rivers that wind through the beautiful  valley of our land and you refuse to be
I love you my love come to me
