James Ruwende Poems

Why does love hurt?
When it should be that light
that shines bright in our lives,
The food to our souls
...

Por que o amor ferido,
quando deveria ser que a luz
que brilha em nossas vidas A
comida para as nossas almas,
...

I yearn for an audience
With a butterfly in discordance
Yet too rare a happenstance
To make a lengthy acquaintance
...

It's been many days now
Waiting for the train that never came
Night and day my eyes are to the rail
The crevice that shall bring forth water
...
