A Dream Poem by Isunge Mwangase

Today, I woke up smiling,
The dream I recall not darling,
But if it was not about you,
I wouldn't wake up with this hue


Only unless I took you by the hand,
To lands beyond those dunes of sand,
For one or two a tango,
Under a tree of mango,
I doubt I'd be smiling like this,
And unless you gave me a kiss
Where the Sun outlines my face,
I wouldn't be in this happy place,


Did you tell me tales of forever,
Instilling in me a fever
Of beautiful things to come
In your heart that I call home?
I know you're the source of this joy,
Therefore this day I will enjoy.
